After the most light-hearted arc in the series so far with Kuro and the trip to the woods, The Fable goes dark very fast. The level of coincidence in this series bothers me a bit – everyone seems connected to everyone else. But I suppose in this sort of underworld setting that might not be …
Blue Reflection Ray – Episode 4
Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I thought we’d check back in on Blue Reflection Ray, and see how our heroes are faring in the wake of their successful rescue operation.
