So, for all of you that have been waiting on the next chapter of this story, and who I promised I was still working on it...

I'm sorry to say that that is no longer the case.

As much as I wanted to continue this, and even had a plan in mind for how it would end (if not necessarily how I would get there), my interest in TO Aru and Shin Megami Tensei have both dwindled enough that I'm no longer as passionately attached to this project. On top of this, my life has become a bit more complicated since graduating college, so I just don't know that it's feasible to always plan on coming back to this.

The final nail in the coffin was when my draft for the next few chapters, which I had planned out and poured a lot of time and concentration into, was accidentally deleted in such a way that I was unable to recover it, and I just didn't have the patience to redo it all a second time.

So once again, I'm sorry. But hey, there's no telling if I might come back and write something else sometime, whether it be a continuation of this one or a whole new project.

Thank you all for sticking with me. I really appreciate knowing there were people who enjoyed and were willing to offer their input on my work. If you have questions about where the Demi-Fiend and Touma's story would have gone, feel free to message me. Other than that, I'll see you around.
