** NOT AN OFFICIAL CHAPTER! JUST AN ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello everyone (or anyone who is still reading the story)!

This is Hazel, but 6 years in the future. Last night, while contemplating what I want to do with my life (or whatever else people do at 2AM in the morning with an essay worth 40% of their grade due in a day that is still not satisfactorily edited), it suddenly struck me that I used to really like writing.

Unfortunately, trying to keep up with STEM education since the last chapter has squeezed every ounce of imaginative Hazel so that she became an empty husk fixated on o-chem and impressing whichever Harvard admissions officer happens to glance at her application. Nothing happened—go figure.

Anyways, that's TMI about me. I figured it's about time I gave this another, earnest, try. No edits on the main story yet—I'm still easing back into the thing and seeing if I can still do something like this. In the meantime, I'll just be messing around in another series starring the same characters (have to get them talking to me again, you know?)

Anyways, that's all! I hope to be with you guys a little longer this time :)
