Light Separation

Light Separation (formerly known as Separation or Separate in its initial drafts) is one of the few stories in the Thornverse. Its plot, along with Kaimuh Recycle's and possibly many others center around the worldbuilding of said universe, but it has the most connection to Stepping Up.

Its concept was developed in 2016, but considerations of rewriting were thought of by Al in the 2020s.

About
The story centers itself around the fictional country of Olana, with it along with Kaimuh, is also dealing with their long history of fighting monsters from the dark. Such darkness and corruption is seeping in and corrupting the individuals of a small town in Olana, and everyone has considered barricading and sheltering themselves as a means of protection.

Stepping Up provides another perspective to the damage being dealt.

Trivia

 * Most of everyone's names being nouns was actually a form of style choice. Although some of their names had to be changed a bit.
 * Almost all of the cast were initially based on video games. Heartbeat, who used to be named Under, was based on the indie RPG Undertale. Swatch, who used to be named Switch, was based on the mobile game Color Switch. Gear's initial concept was based on the Steam logo. Almost everyone else had their concepts inspired from the rhythm platformer Geometry Dash, from the unlockable icons to the official levels.
