Having read the review below, my initial impression after finishing the latest chapter was to agree about including David's (and maybe even Courtney's) perspective here. in fact, I had the same thought before I even read said review. The more I think about it, though, the less sure I am about that.

Sure, there's a morbid curiosity as their mental states a year after becoming Emily's feet, but honestly, after a year of it, they've probably already adapted to their new hell. Seeing things from their POV would be more impactful if this chapter started a day or maybe even a week later, when this new type of suffering was still new.

Also, given that Emily's feet spend most of the chapter in her old shoes, their perspective would probably be a pretty boring one from a narrative standpoint. And in terms of fetish content, it would basically amount to the same thing we've read during David's ordeal, except that he wouldn't be going through the physical pain and fear of being crushed like he did the last time he was in Emily's shoe. So, in other words, it seems as though it would be a less exciting retread of previous chapters.

I'm not saying that adding their perspectives wouldn't have added anything at all, but even as I'm typing this, I personally feel that giving us the details from Emily's side and leaving us to imagine what her feet are going through was the better choice.

As for the chapter itself, I like that Emily's subconscious seems like it's trying to push through memories of David but can't. It gives a superficial undertone to her newfound happiness, like it's part of her "new programming" rather than something legitimate.

I also like how her conversation with Kelsey was handled. It looks like she's started to pretend that she knew them at all, probably so people will stop looking at her so weird. That was a nice touch, as it implies that she's been asked about this a lot, which is something you would expect.

But yeah, even though Emily's happiness was likely at least implanted, I was glad to see at least one character come out of this at least kind of okay. Then the slip of paper came under the door, and I assumed that this is how Caitlin has been keeping tabs on her. But then I saw that her trial pays $200 an hour.

Oh.

It looks like the good doctor might be trying to tie up loose ends. After all, we know why David was offered that much money. And the last sentence of the chapter was especially sad, given that she was cursing herself for being all about the trial money in the last chapter. With her memory wiped, she's doomed to make the same mistake again, only this time it looks like she's going to take David's place.

Author's Response:

Thanks again for such a detailed review. Next time you leave one, I'd like to know if your name is a JoJo reference lol. Very apt perspective on why I didn't write a pov for David or Courtney! In general, you're great at picking up on the subtle hints and little details!
