Space around Abandoned Colony

The 00 Raiser and the Susanowo clashed around the station, blades meeting in earnest. Setsuna was surprised at the strength of the mobile suit. 'Whoever made that put a lot of effort into it. It's able to hold off the 00.' Setsuna tried to pull back to get distance, moving along the outside of the colony, but Graham followed, the Susanowo's feet creating a track in the metal shell of the colony. Not able to catch up to the 00, the Susanowo's center opened up, revealing a small cannon. Charging up and firing a bright orange ball, it went careening towards the 00. Setsuna dodged, moving away from the surface of the colony. Graham followed him, attacking and pulling back repeatedly.

As the two suits fought, Graham's blood became hot, "I survived for this! This is why I survived until this day! Even if it means I become a puppet of the innovators! The way of Bushido!"

Feldt called in confusion, "Why are you so obsessed with fighting? You are only making things worse thinking that way!"

Graham matched blades with the 00 again, sparks flying, "Stay out of this! This is between me and the young man! Don't distract him from this destined duel!" Feldt frowned at this. 'How could someone fall so far? No wonder Setsuna sounded frustrated with him.'

The two suits clashed for a few more seconds, Setsuna yelling out, "Is this worth it?" Graham didn't respond, studying the 00 for a few seconds. Setsunc came to a realization. 'Dammit! I can't overpower this guy! I have to use trans-am!' Graham also came to the same conclusion as Setsuna. Setsuna gave a warning to Feldt, "I'm activating trans-am!" The 00 Raiser began to glow red as GN particles began radiating around the machine.

What caught them by surprise was seeing the Susanowo begin to glow red. Setsuna called out to Graham, "When did you get trans-am!?"

Graham smiled in his cockpit, "It was something my friend did for me! Now prepare for battle!" The two charged at each other with incredible speed, slashing and parrying each other as they pulled back before moving back in to attack each other. Neither could find get the advantage on the other, finding that the two of them were evenly matched. Setsuna could feel the intensity which Graham fought, how devoted he was to fighting. He could also sense a hint of desperation, of want. 'Let's see if talking might help.'

As the two pushed against each other, matching blades, Setsuna began to pull the two of them into the quantum realm, away from their mobile suits. White light began to engulf the two of them as Graham was confused as to what was going on. He closed his eyes at the bright light and when they opened, he found himself in a desert, looking up at a large rock formation. 'This looks so familiar. And where am I? Why am I not in my mobile suit?' He was also caught by surprise seeing himself in his old union uniform. 'What is going on?!'

He looked up to see Setsuna standing on the rock formation, looking out into the desert before looking down evenly at Graham, wearing what looked like a white button-down shirt, black pants and red scarf. The A-Laws pilot glared at Setsuna, "Where are we?! Why do I know this place?!" He could sense calmness and curiosity radiating off of the Krugis man. 'Sensing his emotions? Why can I do that?'

Setsuna could feel the anger, confusion and desperation coming from the scarred pilot. He replied in a calm, even tone, "We are in the quantum realm. This is where people can connect and understand each other. Feel how other people feel." Graham began to begin to ask what he meant by that, but was interrupted by the raven-haired man, "This is where we met in person for the first time. It seems to be a place important in your memories. That is why we are here"

Graham scowled at Setsuna, now just noticing Setsuna's eyes were glowing gold, "You destroyed everything I love. Of course meeting you was important!" 'How could this young man act like this means nothing?!'

Setsuna narrowed his eyes slightly, "So you fight because it's the only thing you have left?"

"Wanting to fight kept me sane! From falling to despair! It didn't matter what happened to the world. All that mattered was finding a worthy opponent." He grinned, "When I heard that Celestial Being was back, I had hoped that meant you were too. And when I saw the double-powered suit, I knew you were piloting it. I have felt more alive than ever!"

Setsuna shook his head at that. He could feel that Graham was trying to justify his own existence. 'A life devoted to fighting for fighting's sake is no life.' Setsuna's spoke in an exasperated tone, "What about other things? What will you do when there is nothing to fight? No great opponent to fight? Is there no one you care about or love?"

Graham gave him a thoughtful look, before reverting to anger, though his voice wavered, "There will always be something to fight! Some great war to engage in! Friends to avenge! Attach…" Graham could feel Setsuna's happiness talking about love, "Attachment and love are a weakness!"

Setsuna could sense the desperation flooding off of him. 'He can't accept the truth. He can't move on.' Setsuna knew exactly how Graham thought. While their motivation was different, both of them had only dedicated themselves to fighting, not looking at the future. But since he and Feldt got together, he realized how empty that felt. How much more complete his life is. 'Unfortunately, I don't know I can help with that side of it. I can't tell him how to find that path.' Setsuna grimaced at his words, "Is there no other path to follow? Nothing else to devote yourself to?"

Graham replied with shaky confidence, "Victory in battle is the only thing that gives me a rush! Fighting a worthy opponent is what defines a warrior!"

Setsuna realized despite his flagging resolve, words would never break him. He needed to be proven wrong, shown that strength comes from more than just fighting. He knew what he needed to do. Setsuna pulled both of them out of quantum space, bringing them back into reality.

Both of them floated there for a few seconds in their suits. Feldt spoke to Setsuna as she opened up communications, curious, "What happened? Did you talk to him?"

He nodded, "I couldn't convince him through words. I'll have to prove it to him through actions."

Graham recovered, still partially confused, slashing at Setsuna, who parried the blow. As Graham began to attack over and over again, he noticed the 00 wasn't really fighting back. It was dodging and parrying all his attacks, maybe pushing him back at most. Desperation entered his voice, "Fight back young man! Give me the duel I want!" Setsuna didn't respond, leaving Graham in the dark, who continued to attack, trying to get Setsuna to fight back.

Feldt looked at Setsuna confused, "Why aren't you fighting back? Isn't he a threat?"

Setsuna shook his head, "Just trust me. He is less sure of himself than it seems."

Feldt looked a bit unsure, but gave him an uneasy smile, "Ok. Just make sure we come out of this alive."

He nodded, "Don't worry, we will." As those two talked, Graham was running himself ragged chasing the 00 Raiser. 'Why aren't you fighting back? You are my worthy opponent! Defeat or victory, the fight is the ultimate rush! Why do you deny me this?!' He was confused. 'Where does he draw this strength from? How can you be strong without focusing on victory?' Setsuna could sense the wavering morale of Graham. The attacks that were coming were still strong, though they became sloppy an unfocused, becoming easier to parry or dodge.

Graham's attack continued to falter as tears began streaming down his face, "Fight back! Don't deny me what I need!" His attacks petered off, the trans-am on both the suits wearing off. The suits floated close to each other, tension thick in the air. Graham spoke in a quiet voice, sounding empty, "If I can't fight, then what am I?"

Setsuna put away his blades and replied sympathetically, "I know how you feel. I can't tell you who you are. Only you can do that. Only you can choose your own future. Find a cause, a friend, or even love. But I can't tell you how do that. You have to decide on your own." He then turned around and began to leave the airspace.

Graham just watched the 00 leave, not knowing how to respond. 'He beat me and he didn't even fight. And he drew strength from something other than being devoted to fighting. Was I wrong? Can I have a future?' Having fought him, Graham knew the man that he fought here was not the boy he fought five years ago. He had changed. The way he fought was different. 'Before he fought like a man with nothing to lose. Now he fights like he has something to lose. Was it that girl? Maybe something else?' He sat there quietly, knowing Setsuna had given him many questions he needed to answer.

With the 00

As the 00 began its long journey back, Feldt opened up communications, sounding curious, "Why didn't you kill him?"

Setsuna frowned slightly, "What would killing him have solved? He was a lost man, throwing out punches blindly."

Feldt pursed her lips, "Did you sense that? And how did you know he wouldn't attack us?"

Setsuna smiled warmly, "Because I learned he was just like the old me in the quantum realm. He was fueled by the need to fight to justify his life. But I changed. I found something else to fight for, to live for. If I could do it, so could he."

Feldt blushed, "What is that reason?"

His eyes stared into her soul, "You."

Feldt blushed deeper, despite expecting the answer, "Oh." She looked down for a second, before looking back up, eyes shining with happiness, "Setsuna, can you stop the 00 for a second?"

Setsuna looked at her confused but complied. He was about to ask what she wanted him to do that for, but she cut communications. He then heard the 0 Raiser cockpit open and there was a knock at the cockpit hatch of the 00. Opening it up, he saw Feldt floating there, who quickly guided herself in, sitting herself on his lap. As the cockpit closed and oxygen filtered back into the 00, he asked in a confused tone, "What's up?"

She cuddled into him, taking off her helmet, "After the innovators are defeated, if you were given the opportunity to have a normal life back on the planet, would you?"

He quirked his eyebrow, removing his own helmet, "Only if you wanted it. I'll follow wherever you go."

Feldt smiled, heart racing slightly and blushing, "Well, I think that would be a good idea. Earth would be a better place to have a family." She smiled coyly, newfound confidence flowing through her, "Well we have a few days, so why don't we practice?"

Bridge of the Ptolemy

The pilots, Ian, and Sumeragi stood in the bridge along with the remaining bridge crew. Having handed off the data to Mileina, Feldt and Setsuna waited patiently for the results. Tieria looked at the two in surprise, "You found the location of Veda?"

Setsuna nodded, "We got the information from Wang Liu Mei."

Tieria looked away thoughfully, "So Veda's been found."

Just then Mileina chirped in, "Data analysis complete. It's at point CZ9842R." Mileina paused for a second before speaking again, "Wait, that's the dark side of the moon!"

Sumeragi gave her a commanding look, "Mileina, focus the super long-range camera at that point." Mileina nodded, bringing up the location.

Allelujah immediately spoke up, "That's Lagrange 2." Ian chimed in, adding, "That's an area where they aren't even developing colonies. The perfect place to hide I'd say." The location popped up on the observation screen, showing a blank area.

Lyle looked at it curiously, "There's nothing there."

Sumeragi narrowed her eyes looking at the image. 'There must be something.' Without looking up, she called to Mileina, "Superimpose the star map on our current location." As Mileina did that, a bunch of red appeared where the starts should be in the center of the image.

Allelujah spoke in a confused tone, "The position of the stars are off."

Sumeragi smirked slightly, speaking quietly, "Optical camouflage." She turned her head to face Mileina, "Mileina, calculate the area of the discrepancy."

Going over the information, Mileina was surprised. In a shocked tone, she replied, "It's a diameter of 15 kms!"

Lyle's eyes widened, "15 km?"

Tieria responded evenly to that, "Something like that has to be optically camouflaged."

Just then Mileina's console beeped and a message popped up. The brown-haired girl immediately smiled upon seeing it, "It's a coded message from Mom! She says they are bringing the new gear to us!"

Sumeragi nodded at Ian, "You and Mileina get ready to get the stuff on board."

Mileina looked at her curiously, "But who will run the sensors?"

Just then the doors slid open and Saji walked in, saying confidently, "I can do that." Lasse immediately stood up and approached Saji, punching him in the arm lightly. Saji rubbed the impact site, asking casually, "What was that for?"

Lasse gave him a smile, "For taking that hit for me. I owe you for that."

Saji put up his arms, "Don't worry about it, just doing what I thought was right." The rest of the crew told him how happy they were he was back and how they were worried about it. Saji blushed as he received all this public attention, moving to his seat as the crowd cleared.

Sumeragi nodded at him and spoke to the rest of the crew, "Everyone not doing upgrades, get some rest. You'll need it. Once I have a battle plan, I'll call you back to the bridge." With that, everyone left the bridge, either resting or helping with the gundams.

Hanger 3

As Feldt went to the 0 Raiser to check up on it, she saw Linda floating above the machine. Curious, she asked, "What are you doing?"

Linda looked over at her, smiling, "Just giving the machine a quick check." Linda then smirked at her, "So I hear you managed to hook up with a certain pilot."

Feldt just smiled back, "You can say that." Her smile became more bashful, "Thank you for encouraging me. I'm happier than I've ever been."

Linda gave her a kind smile, "I watched you grow up. Of course I would encourage you." Linda then gave her a curious look, "So how is he in bed?"

Feldt blushed bright pink, matching her hair, "Thank you for checking out the 0 Raiser." She then retreated from the hanger, embarrassment obvious. Linda just smiled at her retreating form. 'Ah, young love.'

Anew's Room

Lyle rested by Anew's bed, looking at her comatose form as he sat in a chair. She had been moved into her room after they determined nothing could be done with regeneration. They set up a feed for her to keep her alive, but that was all they could do.

Lyle felt a sense of melancholy wash over him. Here they were approaching the endgame and yet he still felt lost. He can't say he thought about the future long term besides destroying the A-Laws, but Anew had a place in that future after they hopefully won. Yet here she was, unresponsive. 'I sound pathetic. The Lyle of five months ago would have scoffed at the current me.' Yet here he was now.

He grabbed Anew's hand, hoping it would give him strength. 'Anew wouldn't want me to wallow in my suffering.' He could imagine Anew looking at him disappointed by how he acted. Making a snarky comment on how he's being a mopey bastard and that he should do something about it. She would probably yell at him for getting angry at Setsuna for saving her and his life. Feeling lost. He missed her smiles and laughs and even that infuriating smirk she had. He smiled sadly before he scowled. 'I'll make the innovators pay for all they've done. For all the people they killed. For using Anew like a puppet. For manipulating the world to make a false utopia.' He knew anger wasn't the healthiest response, but it was the only thing he had. 'The repercussions can come later. Now is the time for action.'

He then heard the PA asking for all pilots to come to the bridge. He steeled his expression, knowing it was only a matter of time till they entered combat. He stood up and leaned down to kiss Anew on the forehead. 'I'll find a way to get you back.' With a confident gait, he left his room, ready for what was to come.

Bridge of the Ptolemy

Sumeragi looked at all the pilots in their pilot suits, including Marie as they gazed at the observation screen. The bridge crew was gone except for Saji. She had gone over the plan, which wasn't much as they lacked info, but it was something. They all saw that there was an A-Laws fleet blocking their path forward, the largest they had seen. It wasn't going to be easy.

Setsuna spoke first, "We are going to bust through the A-Laws fleet and recover Veda."

Tieria replied in a low tone, "This will be a battle like never before." The pilots all nodded, knowing the scale and stakes of this battle. If they lost, no one could offer meaningful resistance to the innovators.

Sumeragi looked over the group, "Is everyone ready? This may be our final battle."

Lyle nodded, "Despite our different goals, we all know what needs to be done to secure the future of humanity."

Setsuna spoke resolutely, "We all are thinking about the future. That's why we fight. To create a better future for everyone and ourselves." He glanced at Feldt out of the corner of his eye. Feldt looked at Setsuna, happy smile on her face. The rest of the crew looked at Setsuna with awe, knowing he was right.

Tieria spoke up first, "To recapture Veda, so it can't be used by the wrong people."

Allelujah stepped up, his voice determined, "To make a world where super soldiers like Marie and I are never created again." Both Marie and Allelujah heard their other personality grumble a bit at that, but sensed they agreed. Marie grabbed his hand, squeezing it comfortingly. He sent her feelings of gratefulness over their bond, her smiling at him when she received them.

Lyle nodded at the two who already spoke before stepping up himself, "My mission remove the A-Laws and innovators who would control this world. And to…" He trailed off, not finishing his thought.

Feldt balled her fists, "I want to create a world where no child has to lose their parents to terrorism." Setsuna intertwined their fingers after loosening up her balled fist, smiling at her. Lyle gave her an approving nod.

Setsuna looked down before looking back up at the group, "I want a world where no child has to grow up fighting or become a child soldier." He took a deep breath and continued, "We'll change. If we don't, we'll never face the future." Feldt squeezed his hand, looking at him with pride.

Saji looked at the assembled group, pride filling him. Despite his hatred of them months ago, he had come to enjoy being with them, even if it didn't come through the best circumstances. His biggest shock was seeing how much Setsuna had grown. He had gone from a more closed off and standoffish teenager to being open enough to have a girlfriend. 'I wouldn't have believed that if you told me that five years ago.' And once this was over, he had his own battle to face with Louise. 'Just a little more time.'

Sumeragi scanned over the group, proud smile on her face. To see them go from a purely professional team to a family of sorts. She spoke up with confidence, "As soon as we finish resupplying, we are heading out."

Everyone looked at Setsuna expectedly. He scanned around the room, blushing slightly at their confidence in him. Taking a deep breath, he looked out the window, sounding determined, "Then let's go. To the dark side of the moon."

Tieria's Room

Tieira looked at himself in the mirror, trying to maintain a calm attitude. He could feel the tension on the ship. Everyone knew what was happening and the ship felt like a ball of tension. 'The calm before the storm is the worst. We have no idea what we are facing, so we have to imagine.' It was just like this after Neil died. They knew the enemy was coming and all they could do was wait.

'But this is not like that time. All our gundams are intact. No one is injured. We are on the offensive this time. And the innovators won't stop us. They can't.' He had faith they can do it. If they didn't, the consequences would be disastrous. The innovators had corrupted the plan. 'No, Ribbons corrupted it. The rest of the innovators were following him in this selfish plan. What was the point of guiding humanity if you just are going to rule over them?'

Taking back Veda would be their redemption. Even if they weren't accepted, it would prove to themselves that they made the right call, that all the sacrifices were worth it. 'Veda.' Even now it felt empty without Veda. For so long, he was connected that without it he felt lost. He had gotten used to it after five years, but it was still an empty part of him that couldn't be replaced. He spoke quietly to himself, "I finally get the opportunity to get Veda back." He chuckled to himself. 'What would Neil think of them now?'

Things had changed so much since he died. Everyone had opened up and truly become a family. Looking back, Tieria remembered how much of a stick in the mud he used to be. 'I used to be so obsessed with the plan, I didn't think of everyone's wellbeing. I even used to hate Setsuna for his recklessness.' Neil had showed him the human spirit was strong, even if it made mistakes. Tieria fought against his own kind because of that. And no one embodied that spirit more than Setsuna. It had been a long journey, but now he put all his faith in Setsuna. 'Neil had a lot of trust in him. I guess he was right about that.' And people had even come to like him. His old self would have scoffed at this trust, but then again, he hadn't gone through the trauma of the last five years. 'Even if I'm not physically a human, I would like to that that I am close enough to one.'

Taking one last look in the mirror, he left to head to the hanger to wait near the Seravee. He couldn't rest. He needed to be ready to fight.

Allelujah's Room

Allelujah and Marie rested in their room, trying to relax before the storm hit. They sat on the edge of the bed, her head resting on his shoulder. His arm was wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer. She spoke in a slightly worried tone, "Are you ready? This is the biggest battle we will fight."

Allelujah sighed, "Honestly? No. But it is something that needs to get done. And only we can do this."

She nodded her head, agreeing with his words. 'Would I have been on the other side of this if Allelujah hadn't rescued me?' She pushed that though from out of her head. It didn't happen, so it wasn't important. She felt Soma send reassuring emotions at her. She sent a grateful response. Another thought came to mind.

She looked up at Allelujah, pulling her head off his shoulder. She spoke curiously, "Allelujah, after all of this is over, what do you want to do? What should we do?"

He smiled at her curiosity, "Why don't we explore?"

"Explore?"

He nodded at that, "Neither of us had the opportunity to be human, to live. I want to see the world, see what's out there." Allelujah had always yearned to see the planet he was born on, see what made it tic. When they won, hopefully they would have the opportunity to.

She smiled at the irony, "We were made to colonize space and you want to explore the Earth? What would the institute say?"

Alleujah gave her a teasing smile, "Probably that we are failures and need to be locked up." He frowned for a second at the old memories but shoved that back. They had escaped that fate and the institute was gone. They didn't need to worry about that.

Marie gave him a quick kiss then beamed at him, "They probably would. And I would love to explore the world with you. See what we missed after years of being trapped." She looked down at her lap, her tone nervous, "Allelujah, do you want to have a family? You know, kids?"

He kissed her on the forehead, his voice loving, "I would love to have a family with you. To get married to you. But I want to see the world before that, if only for a few years. If everything goes well, we will have plenty of time for that."

She smiled warmly at that, "I suppose that is true. Now when do you want to get married?"

Bridge of the Ptolemy

Sumeragi observed passing space as the ship continued towards the combat zone. The whole bridge crew was at their stations, except for Anew's station Being empty. Gunning duties, however, were being taken over by Ian and Linda, who were in the secondary station. 'This will hopefully be our final mission. In an ideal world, we would no longer be needed.' She smiled sadly. 'Unfortunately, this world isn't ideal.' If she had to be honest with herself, she suspected Celestial Being might always be needed. Maybe not to the same scale as currently, but sometimes even a good government needs help from the outside. To get around the red tape that keeps them from acting. She chuckled to herself, knowing the irony of people on the ship were planning for the future and she was here thinking their organization might always be needed. 'I guess that's why I'm the tactical forecaster.'

Sumeragi had no idea what she would even do, assuming she was allowed to go back to regular life. She had grown to mistrust government, especially after all the experience with Celestial Being. And working for a government as a tactical forecaster again would make her uncomfortable. However, Kati would probably be happy with her coming back and she had no idea what Billy would think, especially after what Setsuna did. 'Setsuna could have been a little more subtle.' She shook her head at that. 'Of course, that wouldn't be Setsuna. He doesn't do things in half measures.' And Billy was probably incredibly bitter at her. She would have been if he was in the same position. 'I'm sorry that I took advantage of you like that. You deserved better.' She had made many mistakes in her life and she wanted to apologize to both Kati and Billy, her closest friends when she was in school and beyond.

Her thoughts drifted to the rest of the crew. She had watched over them for so long it felt strange that if they won, many would be going their separate ways, assuming they could get away with that. It would be a strange feeling. The crew had been together for so long, having devoted the last several years to the organization, though some had been there longer than others. Sumeragi let out a sigh. The ship would be emptier. 'But I suppose that is only natural. People need to move on with their lives.' And with hindsight, she would miss Feldt the most. 'I watched that girl grow up in front of me. Now she's confident, has a boyfriend and hopefully a bright future after this.' There was an empty feeling in her chest thinking of that. Her mother called it the empty nest after Sumeragi left for the school and the military. 'Never expected to have that feeling so young.' Yet she wanted Feldt, and Setsuna by extension, to find happiness. 'But first, we have to win this fight.'

She readjusted herself on her captain's chair, sitting up straight. 'One more battle.'

Hanger of the Ptolemy

As the ship neared the combat zone, and the enemy fleet came on sensors, the pilots entered their gundams and machines, ready to go. Everyone either quietly reflected or talk among themselves. Allelujah was caught a little by surprise when he saw Soma appear on his screen, speaking to him in a calm voice, "Do you mind if I speak with Hallelujah?"

Allelujah tilted his head in confusion, not expecting her to start that interaction. He nodded, smiling slightly, "Sure. Give me a second." He signaled to Hallelujah that Soma wanted to talk, letting him take over.

Hallelujah spoke in a snarky tone, "It's funny to hear you want to talk to me and it isn't yelling at me."

Soma glared at him slightly, "I'm trying to be serious here. Can you listen to me for five minutes without the snark?"

He rolled his eyes, "Fine."

Soma looked down for a second before refocusing on the male super soldier, "I just wanted to say I'm sorry for how I treated you. I thought you were some kind of monster, a thoughtless killer. It turns out there maybe something decent in you somewhere. And thank you for saving me from Andrei. He would have killed me otherwise. And as strange as it is to say, I consider you a friend."

Hallelujah gave her a genuine smile, surprised by her tone, "It's definitely strange to hear that coming from you, but I suppose you grew on me too. Granted it helped that you stopped yelling at me so much. And one friend would be nice that isn't the softie I'm a part of." His smile shifted to a smirk, "Though it is funny to see the ice queen defrost."

Soma bristled at that, "I'm trying to be nice."

Hallelujah raised his hands, sounding apologetic, "Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry. Just not used to people apologizing to me. Now let's work together to save this world!"

Soma gave him a confident grin, "I can agree with that!" Marie and Allelujah smiled at the interaction, happy the two were truly getting along. Allelujah poked Hallelujah, signaling he was taking back over. Hallelujah allowed it, pouting slightly after having that moment with Soma.

Both Soma and Allelujah felt the Arios attaching to the rail of the catapult. Allelujah silently asked Soma if she was ready. She nodded. The gundam launched, joining the rest of them as they headed to the battlefield. It was time.

Author Note Two

We're finally at the conclusion. No turning back. The only change I think I need to comment on the Graham fight. I initially was going to go by the original, but I liked the idea of trans-am taking you to a concrete place rather than a featureless void. And the rock where the two met face to face made perfect sense. As for the fight, Setsuna not fighting back and not giving him what he wanted was an interesting angle to take. Setsuna's victory didn't need to be physical, it needed to be philosophical. And showing his resolve and strength by not fighting showed he had learned not everyone needed to be defeated by force, especially after he realized what was up with Graham. I hope you guys enjoyed the difference!

Thank you for reading and the feedback I get is always appreciated! See you guys next chapter!
