    Episode 2 is here. Thank you to everyone who asked for it.
    Three things I want to know:
    Iris stood in the sun and didn’t burn. What is she?
    Solenne — do you hate her, or do you understand her?
    Every comment gets read. Episode 3 depends on you.

    Love it! Not everything that is made is perfect, there are always flaws in production.

    Yes we need more episodes. same with the steampunk iron window one.
    Iris is the offspring of a clouder (the crown) and a gloomer. maybe she should rightfully be in charge of the cloud/ wear the crown. MAYBE not all the crew of the crown cruiser died 20 years ago, maybe Iris' mum (or dad of course) was of the crown / royality - would make more sense it being her mum who was possibly already pregnant as Iris seems to be about 20 or so but is possible for 'dad' to find a wife and a child to be born within a year of course.
    Solenne - don't hate her but don't like her. she is trying to win her hu…
