Early feedback from the Alpha test group has been polarized but passionate:

“I hated OSIL in v2.0. Now I see why she is the way she is. v3.0 made me cry twice.”
— M., beta reader

“The unfinished feel is jarring. But that’s the point, isn’t it? Family doesn’t come with smooth edits.”
— D., returning fan

“Please keep the storm scene. Please. It’s the best thing you’ve written for her.”
— L., Alpha tester

Version: 3.0 Alpha Focus: Character Overhaul – Eleanor “Ellie” Vance (née Harper) Status: Major Narrative Update

Clara’s younger sister is marrying into a rival family. Chaos ensues. This path is lighter but has hidden depth—Clara confesses she never had a real wedding and envies the bride.
