Chapter one:
There were 3 things cut there. Those being these:
"And somewhere in Southeast Asia," Katherine says.
"How come I'm not surprised?" AJ asks.
"Our president is dumb enough to let anyone get away with murder," she clarifies.
Why was it cut: I thought it sounded racist.
"Death by chocking most likely, seeing as the marks are in the neck. Tongue is cut out, they're unsure if it got cut out before the murder or after it," Kathrine says.
"Well let's at least hope they had a good fuck then!" I say.
"Echo, not the time!"
"It's always the time!"
Why was it cut: I didn't think it was serious enough for the scene I was going for.
"Can we get more information? Is there more to the killing? Did it happen in a certain area?" AJ asks.
"I mean all I could tell was it has a lot of drug problems around it," Kati says.
Why was it cut: I found it to make the scene too obvious.
Chapter Two:
There was one cut interaction (the second to last time it's only a cut interaction.)
"Does he have a criminal record?" I ask.
"No, not that I see. How so?"
Why was it cut: I wanted a small hint.
Chapter 3:
The last time I only cut an interaction, next are going to be full plots I cut out.
Oh shit, yeah, they need a timeframe.
"The last few years I guess."
Why was it cut: Too wide of a timeframe.
Chapter four:
A complete plot was cut out here, Katherine was supposed to have relationship problems due to being a workaholic. Something the second to last chapter still hints at.
Why was it cut: I thought it was a waste of time.
Chapter five:
Another deleted plot, originally, Echo did try to kill themselves. Hinted to with this line,
"I think we are having a case and that I want to die. I don't know about anything else, I'm not exactly a genius," Echo says.
Why was it cut: Much like Kati's thing, I simply thought it was a waste of time. Much like AJ's plot line.
Chapter six:
Like all the others, a few shitty jokes were cut out. As well as that, originally, AJ got shot in this chapter. Admittedly to the right shoulder and it didn't show that much.
Why was it cut: Other than contributing to a few jokes in the next chapter (South Park and Dear Evan Hansen jokes mainly) this was a complete angst fest. It didn't contribute to anything. And I also changed the idea for this and the chapter after....
