But from what I can gather by the end of Volume 9, the only conclusion I can come to is that they never intended to actually finish the scenario set up at Volume 8's end. The plan, for what little Miles and Kerry have one, appears to have been to smash their toys and set them on fire, so to speak, and then immediately jump-cut to when everything is fine elsewhere.
I guess they were like "hey, we want to do this", without regard for whether it would make a good story. Kind of like fanfic authors, only fanfic authors don't force other, professional writers to cater to their whims. What do they gain from doing this, though? I mean, don't they want to make money? Are they that full of spite that they would destroy a source of income?
