   Summary

   Similar to Built to Break-Alternate ending, this story will be the same up to a certain point, and then switch into an alternate version. Chapter 25 is where things will begin to shift from the original.

   If you have read the original, I have gone back and added some author's notes at the end of the chapters with some thoughts and insights you might enjoy, instead of rereading the whole thing... though I find that rereading it sometimes hits different when you know the ending will change.

   Spoiler alert: Ilya will die.
   Double spoiler alert: There will be a happy ending and a reunion, because I am not a psychopath.
