Hi all. Sorry if you expected another chapter, but this is unfortunately not that.

I am unsure if I will be continuing the fanfic. If I do, it will be at a leisurely pace, but don't hold your breath.

I was hoping to discuss the fanfic with more people because of how meaningful it is to me. I've wondered about what these characters do in their spare time, how they interact with each other - sort of like what I saw in the DLC. They're like a family to me, friends. It feels less lonely when they're in my head.

Writing, researching, and creating new scenarios take up huge chunks of time. The characters, areas, and lore of XBC2 are already developed. I try to fit the arbitrary guidelines as best as possible to create new dialogue and events. It's fun, yet exhausting.

I am not receiving the discussion and feedback I had hoped for. I may have expected *too* much. I'm unfamiliar with what the FanFiction community is like, and was hoping to build my own little community. So I could make friends.

Writing this has helped me develop skills that I intend to use in my very own creative writing, and for that I am grateful. Maybe one day people will be into my very own creations as much as I am and I'll be able to talk to them at nauseam about the creations. That day is far away... or is it?
