Lemme put it this way:

When I joined the studio, there were skeletons and story beats that I helped flesh out more that went back as far as 2001. I started writing, as opposed to just editing and proofing, in 20...14? Ish?

Some of the stuff we set into motion then is *still* playing out, slowly and carefully, and there are things I wrote five years ago that have yet to be revealed.

We go off on tangents. We chase plot bunnies. Sometimes the world changes under us in ways we never could have expected or predicted, and we adapt and adjust as necessary.

But there is a plan.

There are devices in motion.

And you ain't seen half of it yet.
