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 and answered, the main series of Project LOKI is only up to Volume 3. The story is over and there is no point in continuing the story without its major plot driver: the M case.

2. Magkakaroon po ba ng special chapters?

Possible! I've 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 life after the M case? Like a time skip or something? How about POV chapter of another character? We'll see!

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

If you thought it's a confession, you're entirely wrong! It's something along the lines of "Trust me" and "Everything's gonna 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 do not know the exact words. Haha! Could be anything that cheers Jamie up. I will let you know kapag naisip ko na kung ano. 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's gonna die. Wouldn't it be nice if I subvert their expectations? Hehe~

Honestly, it's a last minute decision to change that someone's gonna die. On the midnight of December 30, the day I wrote the epilogue, I reevaluated the characters and the fate that they deserve. Instead of going for an outright tragic ending, I went for the one with a touch of poetic justice. What's more important, I realized, is that there must be consequences.

What was the original fate of our beloved QED 4? One of them will die while the other will suffer 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 started. His secret as the original M was the reason why Rhea had to be killed—because the latter was getting close to that truth.

After the original M's death, Stein Alberts and Jamie Santiago (QED 4's very own Jamie) vowed to continue his legacy. Between the two, Stein got more control of M's organization and shaped it the way he wanted to, which explained the change in the modus operandi after Jaime's death. Jamie was merely a title holder, but her opinion was still valued.

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

They can make cameo apperances, but they won't play any important role. For example, in QED University, Lorelei and a mysterious L made an appearance, but they didn't do anything of significance at all.

It's time to focus the spotlight on other chacters.

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 itself, their adventures will not end just because Project LOKI has ended. I can go on and write more of their exploits—the ones that didn't make it to the main series. I can even write a new series after the events of Project LOKI—which is not a Volume 4—and feature new sets of cases and characters.
