AN:

HO HO HO Merry Chist-Oh wait I'm about a week late for that joke.

Yahallo Everyone! How are you all doing these days? You guys probably had a heart attack when finding out this wasn't a new chapter. I'm sure some of you thought the worst and that I decided to abandon this story. Fear not my adorable readers; I want to see this story through to the end, if I can help it. No way am I throwing this story into the never ending abyss of abandonment.

I'm sure you all missed me after I haven't updated for… 4 months. Wow, life really doesn't care about what you want to do with your time. For those who want to know why I disappeared, well the simple answer is that I had university to attend. Being a 3rd year in Engineering left me no time to write and my finals for the semester only ended about two days before Christmas. I really wanted to write out a new chapter before the year ended so I went back and read up on my previous chapters to freshen back my mind.

I found so many things that made me regret writing these parts and I really wanted to fix it, especially chapters 4 and 5. So instead of writing on a new chapter I decided to clean up and fix my old ones instead.

I know a lot of you are right now probably pissed that after so long of waiting all you guys get is some clean up chaps and really I can't blame you. Sad to say, but I'm not that good of a writer that I could chug out chapters in a matter of days. My editor was against me doing this but after long hours of contemplation we both agreed that this was the best course of action.

Anyway, the good news is that there really wasn't much that needed to be redone in chapters 1, 2 and 3 so you guys can skips those if you want. Chapters 4 and 5 are a must to reread since that's where the big changes are. I'll list out the changes bellow to make your lives easier:

Chapter 1: Replaced the Japanese lines with English.

Chapter 2: Made it so that the stalker in chapter 3 appears earlier for some form of small foreshadowing.

Chapter 3: Redid the stalker confrontation. Changed the infirmary scene into an emergence clinic and removed the weak decisions made regarding the altercation.

Chapter 4: Redid the whole interaction with Yukinoshita. Doubled the chapter length by adding in Yuigahama's cookie baking request of the story.

Chapter 5: Redid the history between Hachiman and Yui. Kept the second half of the chapter.

With this you're all set to prepare for the next chapter.

Which is where all my problems are currently at. I don't know what I'm supposed to do! (TTATT)

I'm having a tough time trying to write chapter 6. I broke it down to three ways I can do this and I'm at the point where my editor and I can't decide which is the best way to proceed. But then I had a brilliant idea!

I'll ask you guys what I should do next! Well more like I just want your opinions to put my conscience at ease. So the roads I can take from here on out are:

1) Make an original intermission chapter that will mostly detail what's been happening in the background. This will pave the way for the next arc which is the Saki arc.

2) Make chapters based on episodes 3 and 4. This will delay the Saki arc but will introduce characters like Hayama, Totsuka and Zaimokuza.

3) Go straight into the Saki arc. With this I'm basically throwing Totsuka and Zaimokuza under the bus but this will progress the story faster.

I'm giving you guys the chance to voice out your thoughts on what you would prefer me doing because I value my readers opinion. This is as much my story as it is yours. So after rereading the chapters I hope you guys can either PM me or review on this AN since I won't be removing it. Now that that's finished I can end this AN.

Hope you guys have a good read and have a happy new year!
