Announcement:

Hello! Seth's Kiss speaking here to let you know of the official date for Part Two's release. It'll be, if all goes well, on the night of October 31st, to coincide exactly with the very first few minutes of All Saint's Day. Given that this entire fic first stemmed from the plot that you'll soon discover in Part 2, I wanted it to feature on one of those two dates for they have a particular meaning to me, which I will now share with you.

My parents told me that I 'started being born' (their words, not mine) on Halloween night (water breaking and stuff) and that I 'stopped the birth process' at midnight sharp. Despite logically coming into this world on November 1st, legally, I'm born on October 31st (that's what my papers say). In addition, my birth resulted in the very long debate on whether I was a Halloween child or an All Saint's child, my father wanting me to be the former 'cause it was cool', my mother wanting me to be the latter 'cause it was safe' and my elder sister wanting me to be neither 'cause it just freaked' her out. The debate ended with me having both as my birthdays, family-wise anyways (shrugs). Ta-da! Yep. Nothing in my life is simple (sighs).

Anyhow, I hope to see you all very, very soon! Lots of love! Bye-bye!

Seth's Kiss has left the building.

Note: I'm replying here for all the dear Guests who posted on Part One and to whom I had yet to respond:

To Guest 1: Hello and thank you for your review! I'm so, so glad you liked it! It really means a lot to hear that! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! Hope to hear from you soon!

To Guest 2: Hello and thank you so much for your review! Reviews actually, because I'm assuming that you're the same person that's been reviewing in a row since Chapter 2, I think. I'm honestly thrilled that you enjoyed Part 1 so much, and I adore your enthusiasm! I'm also happy that you enjoyed the portrayal of the characters (as I always fear them being out of character, which I'm quite sure they are) and all the personal touches to the Bleachverse, which were quite investing and challenging, believe me. As for that little parenthesis were Karin mentions that her brother had been kidnapped, it was actually a nod to that episode where Ichigo leaves home, without any warning or goodbye, to go train with the Vizards, and Yuzu dramatizes his disappearance by crying out that her brother had been kidnapped. An attempt at humour, sort of... Thanks again and I hope you'll enjoy Part 2 just as much! Bye!
