Project LOKI ③

FAQ

It's been a week since Project LOKI series has ended, but I know that you still have some questions. Let me try to answer them here, in the last FAQ!

1. Magkakaroon po ba ng Volume 4?

As I have repeatedly said, the main series of Project LOKI only goes up to Volume 3. The story is over, and there's no point in continuing it without its major plot driver—the M case.

2. Magkakaroon po ba ng special chapters?

Possible! I have been writing special chapters for the holidays, so it's not far-fetched for me to write one even after the series is over.

Now, will I be writing special chapters about their lives after the M case, like a time skip or something? Or maybe a POV chapter from another character? We will see!

3. Ano po ang sinabi ni Loki kay Lorelei bago siya nahulog mula sa barko?

If you thought it was a confession, you're entirely wrong! It's something more along the lines of "Trust me" or "Everything's going to be fine." Lorelei didn't hear it, so there's no way for her to know what Loki told her.

4. Ano po ang ibinulong ni Loki kay Jamie sa Chapter 37?

Frankly, I don't know the exact words. Haha! It could be anything that cheers Jamie up. I will let you know once I've thought of it. For now, it's up to your interpretation.

5. Sabi n'yo po sa Volume 2 FAQ, may mamamatay sa QED Four. It's a prank lang po ba 'yon?

Almost everyone who read that part expected that someone was going to die. Wouldn't it be nice to subvert their expectations? Hehe~

Honestly, it was a last-minute decision to change the outcome. On the midnight of December 30, the day I wrote the epilogue, I reevaluated the characters and the fates they deserved. Instead of going for an outright tragic ending, I chose one with a touch of poetic justice. What mattered more, I realized, was that there had to be consequences.

What was the original fate of our beloved QED 4? One of them was supposed to die, while the other would suffer from amnesia. Who's who? Go figure!

6. Sino po ba talaga si M?

I would advise you to read the story again, try to put the pieces of the puzzle together, and see the complete picture.

But to save you the time and trouble: Jaime Santiago (Jamie's brother) is the original Moriarty. He died before the series began. His secret as the original M was the reason Rhea had to be killed—because she was getting too close to uncovering the truth.

After the original M's death, Stein Alberts and Jamie Santiago (the QED 4's very own Jamie) vowed to continue his legacy. Between the two, Stein gained more control of M's organization and reshaped it according to his vision, which explains the shift in their modus operandi after Jaime's death. Jamie was merely a titleholder, though her opinion still held weight.

7. Are you planning to feature the QED 4 and the other side characters in your other stories?

They can make cameo appearances, but they won't play any important roles. For example, in QED University, Lorelei and a mysterious "L" made an appearance, but they didn't do anything significant.

It's time to shift the spotlight to other characters.

8. Will you still continue to write the Chronicles of the QED Club on Wattpad even if the Project LOKI series has ended?

Yes! The thing about the QED Club is that their adventures won't end just because Project LOKI has. I can always continue writing about their other exploits—the ones that didn't make it into the main series. I might even start a new series set after the events of Project LOKI—not a Volume 4, but something that features new cases and new characters.
