Thank you to xoxosecret, SucreTeen123, DeLacus, and Guest for reviewing! :)

If you have the time, please check out xoxosecret's fic Forgive Me and her fic Siblings on her other account (notsosecretkittykat)! She's absolutely divine at creating believable and relatable characters, and I've had the best time keeping up with her works!

SucreTeen123: Thank you for reviewing because I've managed to rediscover Mirage of Kaleidoscopes again, hehe... I read it awhile before I started getting less lazy about signing into my ff account, and I actually reread it again after you reviewed food for thought!

DeLacus: Thank you SO, SO much! ^0^ Your review means so much to me! I'm so relieved, because I've gone over to reread the chapters and they sound really awkwardly crafted... I remember drafting it in the middle of my winter break so I was probably really out of it at the time... hopefully, when I have more time, I'll be able to make it flow more smoothly! :'( Thank you again!

Guest: Thank you SOO MUCH for taking the time to review even though you're not signed in! :) You are incredible, because even I forget to do it when I'm not signed in... anyway, I'm so happy that you enjoyed it! :D It's no matter about the reviews - I'll do my best to continue writing regardless of how many reviews I get so thank you! Everyone's reviews do make me feel more motivated, and I'm very grateful for individuals like you who take the time to leave kind and constructive words!

I wasn't sure if the TG fandom would be receptive to an OC fic, so I'm really glad with how it turned out! For everyone who didn't review but read the first two chapters anyway, thank you! :)

I just noticed it's been like a month since I've updated, and I hope no one has thought that I've given up... in fact, I've thoroughly enjoyed the last two TG:RE chapters... very much... especially maman sasako.

I'll definitely be including that operation in the next few chapters... however, I'm really busy with my engineering classes right now, so I might not be able to get back to this fic until spring break or... maybe... even summer break... so I'm real, real sorry! This story isn't discontinued though, and I hope everyone has a fantastic time browsing the rest of the great selections in the TG fanfiction archive (though I wish there were more...)

Thanks for your support, and I'll see you soon!
