After a long time to think over it, I've decided to discontinue this fic. Ever since I've started this story in 2016, it has gone through several iterations and rewrites; a major obstacle that has prevented me from progressing into writing more chapters. Along with the waning time and interest I have on hand, I see no reason to continue this. I apologize for any disappointment for those who still cared.
