More Spanish! more and more and more Spanish! my editor worries a little that it might make the story a little hard for people who don't already understand it, but hopefully it'll be fine. There are never full chapters or even scenes in Spanish, just sentences from the characters, because a good portion of the MCs are parting of the Hispanic diaspora.
(like...all of them but two)
There is going to be quite a lot of Spanish in next weeks chapter "Lullaby"
(here's a teaser)

How just like that - like the eye of the storm the argument became silence, as daddy and I tried to pull him unharmed from the mass of needles scratching away at his thin skin.
In the end, only one thorn punctured him through, in his right arm.
He didnât even cry, but when daddy carried him inside to clean him up, mommy rushed over and took the matter out of our hands, patching him up with bandaids, cooing over him-
âOh, mi pobresito. Que pasa? Que pasa? Mi hijo, mi corazĂłn. Mamiâs got you now. Itâll be okay. You love mami, yes? You know mami loves you so so much?â
