That Feathers/Claude Essay, a.k.a. State of the Roman~ Union, Day 251

Edited and reposted from Plurk, where this was originally wordflooded into. So the language may be more chatlog-like and fragmented than a coherent essay warrants.

Also it turns out I wrote over 3000 words of FEELINGS, because it seems I have never essayed on this in full glory before.

( this post is all about Claude's epic journey of feelings )
