Additional trivia

• The early versions of Innocence were far, far more unlikeable. I really wanted them to legitimately be an asshole, to have understandable motives but still be, honestly, a pretty terrible person. But as things always go with me, they softened over time as the story developed in complexity. They still have marks from those days though, just with a different tone now.
• This story was a happy accident of me writing Innocence's entry for the Echo of Destruction (AO3 mirror). The main reason why I adopted a second person POV for that story was to avoid assigning pronouns to Innocence, because at the time I didn't have any strong feelings about their gender or their pronouns. My love of interactive fiction kept that story in my mind, ultimately leading to the creation of this one.
• Innocence's birthday is January 12th, according to when the story officially started!
• SAROS, the Synth V voicebank, is how I imagine their voice! Sample song here. Their voice particularly matches the Gentle voice mode. Saros' design also inadvertently influenced how I think about some aspects of them.
• Building on the previous point: As a human, Innocence would be an Afro-Latine Caribbean!
