I titled them as separate chapters because while 36 and 37 are connected (and are happening simultaneously in fact), Chapter 36, you'll notice, is told from a different perspective. It's not Michael's point of view, but the point of view of Sinnoh as a whole, and thus it doesn't have a concrete location. That's why I only wrote the Freddie Horner/Steve Wilkes dialogue, and didn't describe their actions or appearance or surroundings. Then, in Chapter 37, we trickle back to one perspective out of many (Michael's). I considered your idea of a 36/36.5, but in the end I decided to keep the 36/37 split, because the half-chapter sort of took away from the impact I was aiming for.
Anyways, I've posted them. Take all the time you need!
