Hey there. Sorry to anybody who's got this on a watchlist and was hoping that this was a new chapter, I know that it's always disappointing to think a new chapter of a story that's been on a long hiatus has come out only to see that it's just a note. If it's any consolation, however, I'd like to announce that I'll be returning to my work on Phantom Persona, and that while it may be a little while still before a new chapter comes out, it will be coming out relatively soon. Before then I'm going to be doing a little bit of editing on previous chapters to better reflect where I see this story going, as well as bring Danny's aesthetic, psychological concerns, and personality further in line with the way that I'd envisioned him within this story. Granted, his personality isn't going to change drastically from what it is now, certainly not without significant character development at the very least, but I am interested in the evolution of his character in regards to the way he is at the beginning of the story versus the show, how he got there, and how he will continue to grow throughout the story. I feel like it's only fair to point out that I do intend to have him, along with other characters, explore who they are as people and there will be some level of confusion to work through on their parts in regard to sexual orientation, as well as how they see themselves as young men and/or women. It is Persona 4, after all, but I promise that this element won't be overbearing and that it will not smother the other aspects of the story either.

Moving on past the editing phases, I feel like it should be noted that while I do still intend to follow the story of Persona 4 in broad strokes, as we continue moving forward there will be an increasing amount of changes due to Danny's presence in the story and the interference of a variety of characters, including the occasional chapter focusing on Valerie, Vlad, and the like. At any rate, I think that I've more or less stated my intention well enough here, and I hope that whether you're a returning reader or a new one that's just getting into the story, you continue to enjoy it as it moves on. I'll be leaving this note up until the next chapter comes out, at which point I'll be deleting it.
