I’m sorry, but I have the weirdest bit of commentary to give on this: There’s several places where the comma is outside the quotes (if you do a search for ”, you’ll find them) and it’s making me go all twitchy-eyed. I’m about 95% confident commas are supposed to go inside the quotes, the way other punctuation does, at least in English? Sorry about this.
Don’t be sorry! Feedback on language and grammar is very useful to me, since I usually write in Finnish. (This is probably the first time since middle school that I’ve written a piece of fiction in English.)
Apparently the punctuation slightly depends on whether you are using British or American English and whether the work is fiction or non-fiction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_marks_in_English#Order_of_punctuation ). Since this is fiction, you are in any case totally right about the commas going inside the quotes, and I will edit accordingly. Thanks for pointing this out!
