I'm discontinuing this story. I've completely lost the direction of where I wanted to take it and didn't know how to work around the holes that are present. The last three chapters are proof that I was just losing my drive and edge when it came to writing this out. Originally this fic was just going to be short seperate chapters detailing character perspectives with their reactions to the "Snap".

It went completely off the rails after the 2nd chapter and turned into a very rushed plot that I was forcing myself to try and figure out as I went.

There's a part of me that wants to rewrite all of this with a more focused and thought-out plot line. One where Ibuki isn't the sole antagonist. Because trying to write with just him was more difficult than I thought it would be.

If I were to rewrite this Emi would still be the main protag along with Kai. Both of them sharing that role together. With whoever the hell I can put as the antagonist of the story. This isn't a guarantee...just something that I'm thinking about.

Hopefully you all understand and have a great day!
