@waldo220 Thanks for explaining your reasoning. It's true that it's starting to sound a little off to me now, haha. That's the issue with learning multiple languages, sometimes you forget things about some of them. Anyway, I think I'll leave it because I'm not totally sure if "will" or "would" or their respective contractions would be most accurate here (kind of feels like it's both), and it's colloquial language anyway, where all sorts of horrible things happen to language. /excuses
Well, now I just thought of "when I speed walk then I always make it in time", but that might cause issues with the typesetting, which is always a consideration. At any rate, thanks for the grammar explainer, and sorry for not changing it despite accepting your reasoning (*ノωノ). I try to be more of a descriptivist than a prescriptivist anyway! /moreexcuses
Thanks again for taking the time to explain, and rest assured, I'm a fluff dealer and will push it whenever I find more!
Edit: nevermind, I completely forgot about her preceding bubble-- that's embarrassing. Anyway, I went to change it despite what I said, and realized she's really referencing what would happen if she slept in a further 10 minutes than usual, so of course it'd be "would" (contracted to I'd). Probably would've been more apparent if I'd read the chapter like a normal person instead of skimming my final checks because I'm lazy/impatient. It's fixed now!
Edit 2: almost forgot to make speed walk past tense too. I didn't want to put "if i were to speed walk" (because length), so I went with a simple "if I speed walked", which somehow sounds a little wrong to me, but I can't think of a reason it would be wrong.
