We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

How do I play after the double hane on S14? I really wanted to play it, but I was worried about being cut at R14, and I didn't see any valuable options after that.

The double hane doesn't look great to me in this situation, actually. Not bad, either, though. The usual continuations (when the marked group is short of liberties) are like this:

and, when white captures at a, black captures 5 stones with b. White will then have to look for eyes with c, but this chops down black's corner. I haven't counted to see which result is better.
