Hello all!
It's been a while, which makes this all feel very strange and unfamiliar to me. I thought I'd throw myself out here and send a hello to anyone who might possibly still be linked to notifications to this story, and its sequel.
I think I owe you all some sort of explanation. A fellow T7S writer, and one of the best friends I ever had, died somewhat tragically. Her name was Nim, she was a fantastic writer, and I miss her every day. You may have known her because she was a frequent in the T7S community, and most importantly, her presence proliferated into those of many, many humans. She just made life better, simple as that.
I stopped this story and all of my writings because they insufferably reminded me of her. Four years later, the sadness is only a small part of my equation with Nim, and I am now able to think of her and feel overjoyed at the fact that I got to know such a precious soul.
Four years later, and I'm also quite older. I realized I really enjoyed writing this, for the most part because it made people like you guys and Nim happy.
If anyone is still interested in me continuing the sequel, I'd love to continue. If not, consider this a friendly hello from a distant friend, wishing you love and peace in this crazy and beautiful world.
