It's so crazy to me to think that this book is finally over. I started it last year in May, and now, I'm finally hitting the end of it. The whole thing is over 300,000 words. Can you believe that? I know I certainly can't. It took a really fucking long time, but we're finally at the end of the line.
I just want to take this time to thank everybody who got this far. I know it was a bit of a long ride, but I hope it was worth it. There's more where that came from. The second book in the series, which is called 'Secrets beneath Secrets', should be going up any minute now, assuming it isn't already up. Just because a new book is coming doesn't mean the content will change though. Good old murder mysteries are still coming. This time though, we have new characters and all that jazz. It'll be a lot of fun.
This is the second time going through this book, and for anybody who read the original, this is the obviously superior version. It's a monument of how much I've grown as a writer, hell, a novelist, over the past four years I've been writing this series. That's right; four years. The first rendition of QATH came out for years ago today (4/11/15). I was a fetus back then, so my writing skills were questionable at best, even if they were pretty good for a middle schooler. So much has changed since then. Now, I'm writing 5-10 thousand words a week and at least 2.5k a day. I'm doing what I love for a story and cast I love. I'm proud of the finished product. It might have taken a long way to get here, but I'm happy with it.
An especially big thanks needs to go to my four cowriters and closest friends. Lillian, thank you so much for listening to all my rambles at school and for helping me plan out all the dramatic stuff, even if I know you won't be reading this. Your friendship means the world to me. Polly, you're the most meme-y friend I could ask for. Thank you so much for being the first person to ever submit content for the original QATH. Your encouragement started me down this path, and I'm so glad you've been here for me all this time. Niamh, you're absolutely amazing. Your writing inspired me to even begin this book's original draft four years ago. It's all because of you that I even came up with my characters. You're spectacular and deserve all the love in the world. Lily, my dearest girlfriend, I love you so much. Thank you for everything you've ever done. Don't you ever doubt your skills as a writer, honey bunches. You're fucking epic. Also, thank you for making the judge twins for me on such short notice. You saved the story in that respect.
Now that all the mushy stuff is out of the way, it's time to talk about the meat of this chapter. I know what you're thinking. Chris, the book is over, what are you doing here? I can explain, I promise. This chapter is something of a little bonus. Not only is it an author's note dump since I feel like there's a lot to get out of the way here, but it has a bonus to it.
This chapter has character descriptions for every single character appearing in the book. That's right. Every single character. It has trivia like age, likes, dislikes, and talks about their role in the story. That being said, this chapter has MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS. AND I MEAN MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS. DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED THE BOOK. This chapter reveals every single killer and victim. It also contains spoilers for important plot twists. The stuff involving a certain critical point revealed in the second half of the final case is saved until the very end for the sake of spoilers. DO NOT READ THIS CHAPTER IF YOU HAVEN'T READ TO THE END.
Most of the stuff in these profiles is pretty self-explanatory. The exception is probably the creator thing. It has one or two of five names listed next to it describing who originally created the character. Digital refers to me (in case you hadn't already noticed my username). My four cowriters listed above are the others. For anyone curious, Lillian is Phoenix, Polly is Hatty, Niamh is Ace, and Lily is Shiny. We've been working together since QATH began. Back in the original, they all had characters in the story, and that still applies to today. If anybody wants me to, I can send you a link over PM to their writing profiles.
Also, this next segment is pretty important regardless of if you plan on reading the profile or not. At the very least, it's important to me. I was going to put it at the end of the chapter, but I don't want to make people scroll through the eight extreme spoiler profiles and risk seeing something they'd rather avoid to read this. The profiles will be down below my sign off. It feels weird doing an author's note at the beginning instead of the end, but I think it's necessary in this case.
Originally, QATH was an Ace Attorney spinoff. Back in the original, there were canon characters in it. However, since then, much has changed. Only the structure and a few minor details such as mediums have remained. As such, I don't know if I can entirely brand it as an Ace Attorney story anymore. Besides, I post this on archive of our own, and I feel like calling it the Quiet after the Hurricane series is a bit on the wordy side. Over there, I'm going to be giving it a different title. It's also what I'll be calling the series on here and on Wattpad. I thought through it quite a bit, and I've finally come to a conclusion.
The series shall henceforth be known as Morix.
With all of that said, think I'm done here. The profiles are all below. I hope you've enjoyed the first book in the Morix series! If you liked it, be sure to check out the sequel 'Secrets beneath Secrets'! Thank you all so much for reading this far! I'll see you all next time!
- A final time, Digital

She blames herself quietly for Venus' death, but she presses on regardless to find the truth behind Pieter's disappearance and Natasha Morix's murder. Natasha acted as her motherly figure in life, and out of loyalty to her, Chrysalis wants to find the truth more than anything.

Name: Venus RinkoAge: 19Gender: FemaleBirthday: February 1Occupation: Legal assistant at Morix Law OfficesCreators: Digital and PhoenixFirst Appearance: Turnabout IgnitionLikes: Her sisters, ice skatingDislikes: KillersVenus was the second-in-command to Oracle before her death. She acted as a shoulder for Chrysalis to cry on when things got tough as well as a mediator when she pushed herself too hard. She was supportive of her friend to the end and wanted only the best for her. Even in death, she undoubtedly feels the same way. For some reason, she is unable to be channeled by any mediums. Lily, Chrysalis, and Sora have all attempted and failed.

She learned about it through Venus and decided to help. A few months before the establishment of the project, Cassidy was nearly wrongly convicted due to corruption in the Prosecutor's Office, which ultimately convinced her to join the cause. It eventually caused her murder. Much like Venus, she is unable to be channeled despite the attempts of Lily, Chrysalis, and Sora.

While she never was too close with Natasha, she wanted to help them for the sake of closure. Sora's sweet personality make it easy for her to gather much information from unassuming suspects, helping the project in the long run. She acts as a source of motherly comfort for the group as well.

He acted as an encouraging voice for Chrysalis before his disappearance, urging her forward with positivity. He went missing a mere month after the project began fully. He was last seen in Germany and was the reason Chrysalis attempted to travel there in the final case. The trail has since gone cold.
