AUTHOR'S RANDOM NOTE WHEN ALL WE'RE ACTUALLY WAITING FOR IS A CHAPTER UPDATE TO EXPLAIN ALL THE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS

To put it simply, I've been slow in my updates for several reasons. First, when we were approaching December, I had many things in life that needed my attention more than this fic. Not long after that, I got injured, which disabled me from doing most things that required mobility. As I write this, I am preparing myself to be admitted for my surgery. My upcoming slow updates will be due to the healing process I have to go through. Know that I long to finish this story because the complete plot has been ready since chapter 1.

I'd also like to address my gratitude for the reviews.

To the ones who consistently compliment this story, I thank you. Your positivity has been the only thing that keeps me writing. I often feel inadequate, but your kind words make me confident.

To the silent readers, I thank you, too! Thank you for accepting this story, regardless of your preferences.

To the ones who might be feeling a little disappointed lately, I also thank you. I appreciate the blindspots I might not see. I hope whatever I'm writing here that brings unhappiness to you does not ruin your day. I also hope there are no triggers to emotional trauma as well. Thank you again for sticking around for so long.

All that to say, I'm excited about the upcoming chapters, and I hope you are too. Chapter thirteen will come out soon.

Be blessed.
