23-Mar update:

Hi all,

After indecisive and revised deliberation, I've decided to step away from this story for now. My earlier post alluded to leaving this unfinished entirely, but I've sat with that for a few days and can't get on board with it. I don't have a timeline to return to this, but know that it is still very much on my mind and something that I will continue to spend moments developing - it just won't happen with the same frequency as before. I want to see this to the end, and if you all are willing and can grant me some patience, I hope to provide the story as intended.

Cheers,
