Chapter 3 is in beta!

Oh man, this chapter WRUNG me out. I shipped it off to my lovely beta, so it's in her capable hands now. At 3,500+ words, it's bigger than the past two chapters. No easy feat for a newbie fic writer. 5,000 words for blind go is going to ruin me.

I don't know if I'm going to be able to top this chapter, but I am super proud of it, which means you should all brace yourself for the punvalanche. It even has some serious emotional moments. You thought you were just reading a silly crack coffeeshop AU.... and then the unexpected feels! Just like HikaGo was never just a silly manga about a board game.

It's strange... I intended this chapter to be a short Sai POV and go into his past, but it evolved into something else entirely. I'd still love to write a side story about Sai though.
