Certain's conversational writing tone makes the beginning seem slow, it is like stories that give full names to all their characters straight away at introduction. Would have been much faster writing to leave out some details and just jump straight to the character motivations. Cyph her's shorter sentences are stylistically nice, but the big problem is that the narrator isn't given enough motivation. Sure change is good and altruism is good, but it's not apparent what this narrator want's to repent for. Don't need to spell it out, but just a little hint would have at least given some sort of motivation. Voting for Certain.
