I definitely haven't been going into the writing mindset thinking about catering towards 'top' or 'bottom' in what I write. From a limitation standpoint, more active MC involvement (especially in panels) will have to wait for when we start getting him comfortable with existing beyond that cloak of his. That narrative wall should end at Act 1, and give rise to an increasingly involved MC through the course of Act 2. If it helps, think of this like a slow burn. We'll get to enjoying our cute companion, but the 'small steps' along the way have to happen, first!
