Chapter 8: Negation
Footsteps echoed off the walls of the hallway.
A young black haired boy studied the brick architecture, appreciating it's likeness to historical civilizations he had studied about... or perhaps hadn't studied about back in his world. The floor was perplexingly fashioned together like an art piece. He was certain that if this tower had windows, it would be incredibly beautiful.
"Like seriously, this is the peak isekai fantasy setting!"
Indeed, not only were cute girls crawling all over him, magic was abundant, and a new and unique place to explore had presented itself. He moved his hand to his chin for a moment, pondering whether he should accept this reality.
"Could it be a dream? No, this is way too vivid. I must have passed out while I was walking out of that convenience store. Oh, that's right! I was about to cross the street when... No, don't tell me, it was Truck-chan! I can't believe it!"
After mushing his hands against his face and wriggling psychopathically for a moment, he calmed down with a slightly more serious look in his eye. Hesitantly, he rolled up his sleeve for the second time that day.
"But... They say I lost my memories... What does that even mean? I remember everything right up to that point... Why did I forget my previous life in this world, but not my old one?"
It was all too confusing. Memory loss by such specific selection was baffling to say the least, and just what caused him to forget in the first place? He would have to talk more with that Julius guy and unearth a few more details.
"Ah, after all that talking they made me do, I really needed this."
It was true, they had forced out every detail they could from him. It even made him chuckle slightly remembering the look on everyone's faces when he told them he was from a different planet, as if the concept had definitely never been explored before.
After all that talking, he managed to convince them to give him a breather. A short walk around this new and interesting place should suffice.
Reaching a break in the hallway, he found what looked to be a staircase downward. taking a closer look revealed that it actually spiraled downward, but not in a DNA type of pattern, rather it was affixed directly against the wall, following the wall in a circular shape until it terminated at the very end.
Now, stairs didn't frighten him, at least not nearly as much as other things like sharks or hurricanes, but these particular stairs were thin, and without any form of safety rail.
"Okay, this is just evil. To get out of here you actually have to walk down this?! Doesn't make any sense. Like, why doesn't this place have windows? And safety rails are the bare minimum for something like this. Just imagine if somebody..."
Suddenly, something red flashed out of the corner of his eye as he looked at the bottom.
He jerked his head back, flinching in an attempt to avoid the site at the foot of the stairs. Sweat began to drip down the back of his neck. His hair stood on end and he began to shake vehemently.
But he had to.
He had to look...
Evading this site would be evading reality. He stiffened slightly and gulped down the bile building in the back of his throat. Shifting his gaze back towards the bottom of the stairs, he took it all in.
The puke he was attempting to hold back slammed it's way back into his mouth. Placing his hands on his knees, he released it into a shallow pool on the floor. After a moment of catching his breath, he looked back down.
The sight was difficult to take in.
Blood pooled out at the bottom of the stairs. At the center of the red liquid, a single person lie dead, their head imploded and brain matter scattered throughout. A white jacket clashed with the dark blood that surrounded it. Subaru could barely make out a hint of purple hair.
With those clues, the boy had already deduced who it was.
The knight Julius.
He seemed like a nice person. Subaru remembered him being especially kind to him. He wondered what kind of relationship they might have had. He remembered the wry smile he wore when he addressed him, relieved that Subaru had woken safely.
He was a good person.
Why was he dead?
"N-no way..."
This isn't right... What happened to him?
He couldn't understand why such a kind person had died so quickly and so easily. He had fallen off of the stairs. Could it have been the lack of a safety rail? The fact that the stairs were so thin?
He didn't know. Perhaps by chance, he-
Subaru cut his thoughts short. Quickly they were replaced by something else. He felt something pat his back. His thoughts raced as his head caught up to reality. He was... falling?
His heart sank.
"Huh-"
Why was he falling?
"No... No!"
Panic began to set in. His heart began to race further. The fall was over 100 feet. The idea that he would survive this was stupid. A pathetic attempt at avoiding reality.
"No! Wait! Somebody!"
He flailed his arms through the air as tried to grab onto anything he could think of. A few feet to the right he could see the stairs circling back around close to him. He attempted to reach out and grab onto the ledge.
"Kh- ACK!"
But it was no use. His body was already about to reach terminal velocity. One of his fingers were sheered off and his arm was immediately broken.
The impact with the stairs now sent him spiraling in a circle, flailing and kicking as he fell. Vomit rushed it's way back into his mouth, shooting out of his nose as he attempted to keep is teeth clenched.
Nothing was working.
He was going to die.
As he continued to spiral he only lost his bearings even further.
I'm going to die. I'm going to die. I'm going to die!
His mind was racing. He was in pain, he was sick to his stomach, he was nauseous, he was afraid.
With every spin he could see the floor coming closer. Below him he could make out Julius' body closing in with each pass of his vision. He began to weep as tears were flung in every direction. Any second now he would-
Suddenly everything stopped.
A numb sensation overtook him. He attempted to turn his head but it would not obey him.
Quickly he realized his eyes were shut. Slowly he managed to open one of them. He could only open his left.
Red assaulted his vision as he fought to gain his bearings. The right side of his face felt as if it was resting on something soft, but he was having trouble making it out.
A tingling and burning sensation ate away at the lower parts of his body. Forcing his head to move, Subaru managed to bend his neck enough to look around.
Gazing at what remained of his body, his mind went blank.
He began to convulse as he took in the sight of his broken limbs. His arms practically exploded, muscle fibers and veins exposed to the hot air. He could feel it burning, searing away at his insides. His lungs attempted to conjure air, but he only choked on blood.
And then it came.
Unimaginable pain. The boy screamed as his body went into shock. He could feel that the vertebrae in his spine had disintegrated into shards and were now sawing their way through his spinal chord with every miniscule movement.
The feeling of electricity jolting through his body now accompanied his agonizing pain. His screaming softened to gagging as blood continued to fill his lungs. Ruptured blood vessels allowed his precious life force to drain away onto the cold ground.
He found his mind going dark as the pain began to subside. His body turned back into a numb-like state as the light around him grew dim.
Slowly he attempted to turn his head. Inch by inch, he managed to adjust his left eye in a position so that he could make out what was underneath him.
While the majority of his body had contacted the floor, his head was rested on the back of it's previous victim. Subaru only managed to live as long as he did due to Julius unintended intervention. Without the knight's back being there, Subaru's head would have been paste the instant it came in contact with the floor.
He wasn't sure whether he preferred the outcome or not.
He realized how weak and pathetic he was. Even as he lay dying, another person who had already befallen death was prolonging his useless life. A waste of space that had never accomplished anything.
Weeping silently in a pool of red, Natsuki Subaru breathed his last.
Beatrice gripped onto the boy's hand fervently. It was as if she might lose everything, even if she let go for a mere second.
He was everything to her. Everything her mother couldn't be. She had seen the memories.
When she made the mistak- rash decision of opening Echidna's book of the dead, she saw everything about the Witch of Greed that was hidden from her since her birth. Every false truth, every misleading concept, every manipulative touch.
The truth was almost too much for her to handle. The fact that there was no 'they' was not comforting in the least, not when given the implications that Echidna truly couldn't care less whether Beatrice lived or died, but she couldn't help but find solace in the fact that this boy had managed to rip her out of that cursed existence.
She was an utter fool, clinging to a promise that was broken far before it was even made.
Before, she had attempted to find self worth in her creator. Her mother was who she looked up to the most, the one who brought forth her aspirations, and she took pride in being a creation of the Witch of Greed.
But now, she found her self worth elsewhere. Her mother could not be the determining factor for whether she lived or died. In the end, Subaru was able to tear down her caged mindset, pulling her out of that wretched library and showing her the world.
But at what cost?
Almost every night, he would wake her up in a nightmare, begging for the pain to go away, whispering unconsciously about people leaving him.
Just how long did she allow the world to torture him?
And once again, she was unable to be there for him. If this Julius person was to be trusted, he had lost his memories. Of course it was the Taygeta Library, a place she absolutely despised now. She knew about the books and how they worked, she felt like the knight was hiding something. She only grew more and more suspicious of him as he sat across the Green Room with his elbows pushed against his knees.
He had some kind of ability that was being used to charm her. She quickly crushed the butterflies in her heart and eyed him down with a disgusted look. Just how much did he know? And just how much was he hiding?
However, before she could ponder the thought any further, the boy's hand began to twitch. She attempted to help slowly rouse the boy from his rest, before being kicked away by Subaru's leg which she had claimed as her seat for the past few hours.
"AAAgh, AAAAAAAAGHK!"
The boy let out a bloodcurdling scream as if he had just been ripped out of a pot of boiling oil.
"S-Subaru! What's wrong I suppose?!"
Quickly recovering from being knocked away from the bed, Beatrice sprang back onto the boy, securing his arm as he flailed about.
"Huh-W-Subaru!"
Now awakened from her slumber, Emilia joined in securing him as he threw his arms and legs wildly, screaming as if he were bearing insufferable agony.
"Ah- I don't wanna die! It hurts, I don't wanna... huh?"
As if at random, he stopped. His eyes that were just bouncing from place to place now rested on the face of the white haired princess.
"E... Emilia?"
The room went silent. Moving his eyes over the blond haired girl that was clinging to his opposite arm, he said another name
"Beatrice? How did you... Did... I survive?"
He raised his hands in front of his face. The site of dismembered and missing fingers flashed in his head.
Didn't I die? Did they save me somehow?
Now looking up from his perfectly intact extremities, he surveyed the room. Vines covered the walls like a jungle. Grass grew beneath him, culminating in the form of a familiar bed. Across the room, a purple haired knight stood, gaping in disbelief.
"You... But, how? I was certain she... She didn't take your name, so... How are your memories…? No, that's not right! He's... Was she manipulating me from the very start?"
Julius face grew pale.
Nothing made any sense. How was Subaru able to remember them? He could have sworn that Gluttony had taken his memories... Was Subaru able to recover them somehow? No, surely Julius would have gotten his name back by now... At least, that's the only way it would make sense.
Breaking the freshly born silence in the room again, this time Emilia spoke.
"S-Subaru, you can... Remember us?"
Subaru stared for a moment, unsure how to answer. They had known each other for at least the past day, surely this was the wrong question to be asking him… But it was all too familiar. After pausing for a moment, he chose the option that felt the most safe.
"Oh... Um, yeah. I think."
The silver haired girl began to shake. Gripping him tightly, her emotions began to crumble.
"I... I was soooo worried. I thought you had forgotten what you said that day... Please, don't ever scare me like that again."
Hearing this, Great Spirit sitting across from her looked at Julius. She formed a scowl on her face as her gaze pierced through him, threatening to crush him like an anvil.
"How despicable, in fact. Do you find it enjoyable to toy with our emotions like this I wonder? Betty should destroy you where you stand."
Julius recoiled in shame at her words. Once again he had failed.
"Wh... I-I'm sorry. Please forgive me."
"H-hold on!"
Everyone turned their heads back to Subaru as he attempted to speak.
"Weren't you... I remember it, you were on the lower floor. Didn't you... Die?"
Julius face quickly changed from morose to confused. An array of emotions passed over him as he heard that word.
Die?
Subaru, I apologize. I have no idea what you are talking about."
Subaru eyed him closely. Julius face was perfectly fine. Aside from bags under his eyes, one would surmise that he was perfectly healthy. Not only that, but his knight regalia was completely unblemished. The black haired boy couldn't make any sense of it.
"Was I just... Dreaming?"
No. It didn't make sense. How would he know about these two girls? He didn't remember sleeping at any time since arriving here... Oddly, now that he thought back to it, this was the exact same scenario he had previously woken to.
"Wait, Emilia. You said you thought I lost my memories?"
She stared silently at him for a moment before answering.
"Y-yes. That's right. Julius told us that you had an accident in the Taygeta Library and lost your memories."
Suddenly, a revelation hit Subaru.
"This... this is just like before."
Could it be? I hate to come to assumptions so quickly, but this is the only thing that makes sense…
"Is this... a Full Dive MMO RPG game?!"
The room went silent for another few seconds. Emilia giggled before letting out a weary sigh. "There you go saying weird things again, you nincompoop."
As if on queue, the young boy replied back.
"Who even says that any more these days?"
He turned to look at the blond girl beside him and stared deep into her eyes.
"Hmm."
He placed his finger to his chin and pondered.
Butterflies. She looks so.. Artificial.
But there were other important details. This watchtower was named Pleiades, a reference to the seven sisters, a cluster of stars he had studied about. But what picked at him the most was his death.
There's no way I would survive something like that... That has to be it! This is a video game, and I just respawned!
He felt excited for a moment, but then forced his optimism down as soon as he remembered the context of his death.
It was torture to the extreme, he was positive that every other pain he had ever experienced in his life paled in comparison.
But, I'm back here... If I'm going back in time, that means there must not be any other players. So much for the MMO part I guess.
There were other possibilities as well, but the idea that this was a video game felt like a joke.
These were real people. His attempt to make light of the situation made him feel sick. Just how much might Julius have suffered from that fall? He hoped that the reality he had experienced was nothing more than a premonition, or maybe some type of dream.
He couldn't get the burning feeling out of his head, his arms and legs busted and splayed open, blood pumping out of his body and into the cold stone. Then he thought about Julius and a gnawing feeling nipped at the back of his head.
"You. You're name is Julius, right?"
The knights face shaped into one of pure bafflement.
"What? You can remember them, but not me?"
To this, Subaru averted his gaze and brushed the back of his head nervously, realizing he said something that would confuse him.
"Ah, yeah. What you said about my memories. You were right, some of them are missing. I can remember you guys, but anything deeper than that is totally missing."
Emilia's face mirrored in shock at this, realizing the implications.
"So you... R-really don't remember?"
Beatrice also seemed a bit dumbfounded at this, but quickly regained her composure as she gripped onto his hand.
"I'm sorry, I wish I could remember more, Emilia-chan."
The white haired girl visibly recoiled. Her eyes widened and her breathing became erratic.
"E-Emilia, what's wrong?"
"N,no.. You. Y-you couldn't be.. A-are you really-"
Emilia began to speculate, however Beatrice immediately cut her short.
"He is not an imposter, in fact. Betty can still feel our contract, I suppose."
Emilia breathed a sigh of relief, before berating herself internally for failing to trust him.
"In any case, there is definitely more to this than I originally thought. I apologize for my indiscretion in diagnosing his condition."
The purple haired knight offered an apology.
"Mm. It's okay, Julius. I know you were only trying to help."
The half elf flashed him a wry smile, noticing that she wasn't the only one blaming themselves for this mess. She might not know much about him, but even if others couldn't see it, she could tell how devoted he was.
"You are too kind, Emilia-sama."
The four of them had now made their way to the central room for breakfast. Or, what would have been breakfast. After hours of conversing within the Green Room, it was closer to lunch.
Similar to what he remembered, they questioned Subaru thoroughly. However, this time he preferred to skip over the fact that he had been summoned from an entirely different world. When he had giving them this information last time, it ended up being quite the shock for them. As confusing as this situation already was, he preferred not to complicate things further.
"Alright then. I suppose this session has been satisfying in terms of collecting information. I will make my way to my quarters."
With that, Julius slowly stood and began making his way to the outer rooms. Subaru stared at the knight as he left, a nagging feeling drawing his attention.
That's right, Julius fell off the stairs before. Did somebody push him off? That reminds me… I swear I could have felt someone push me from behind.
In that moment, he resolved to find whomever was responsible.
Casting glares around the room, he took in as much information as he could.
Starting with Emilia, she was a dazzling girl that he honestly could say was probably perfect. Even with the short time he had spent with her, he found it not only unlikely, but nigh impossible that she would be responsible for Julius' death. Especially after what she said to him in the green room.
Changing from Emilia, he observed a blue haired child whom he remembered to be "Meili" and a brown haired women with practically no sense of modesty named "Shaula" playing in the corner.
After his initial observation of Meili, he assumed it unlikely that a child her age would conspire such a thing, and left it there. Passing a glance at Shaula, he wasn't sure what to make of her. There was a deep mystery to her, even to the others who hadn't already lost their memories. He would have to keep an eye on her.
Next was Ram, who was across the room handling the leftovers from their meal. As if she instantly knew, she peered over her shoulder and cast a look of disgust. He was familiar with her sharp tongue thus far, but none of her words cast contempt. However, he could feel a deep sorrow in the way she spoke. Many times over their meal, she would either remain quiet, or would visibly shake when attempting to say anything. Something was deeply bothering her.
It would be easy to be suspicious of her, but something tells me that she has a completely different issue. I'll take note of it, but I can't find any proper reason to point a finger just yet.
Anastasia was the next. Her purple hair reminded him deeply of Julius, and he wasn't sure if perhaps they might have been related somehow. He had never seen so many people with different colored hair before. Although he felt the urge to ask, he crushed it down, insinuating that it might be rude to make such an assumption when they had just forgotten his identity.
Wow, this whole situation is so complicated.
From what he knew, she was a merchant, as well as another Dragon Maiden similar to Emilia. Whatever that meant.
He considered politics for a moment. Perhaps she was trying to eliminate her opponents? No. Other than Julius, she had no one to support her apart from the Emilia camp. Infighting would be unwise, especially to someone with such political stature.
Okay, who else is there?
He moved his eyes across the room for a moment. There was nobody else that he could see. Julius had left, leaving only the people who were in the room-
The people who were in the room.
"Where's Beatrice?"
The knight paced slowly around the cylindrical abode. His eyes mirrored weariness, the color seemed to drain from them with each passing minute.
Pausing for a moment, Julius attempted to collect himself. This what not the time to distress. He had been tasked far too much to let this continue to weigh on him.
I will keep going. Even if no one remembers me, I will not throw away my duty.
He was caught between the task that Subaru had assigned him with, and his own incompetence. Would he fail again? Would his next blunder bring ruin to the ones he held dear? He did not know. He could not know. There was only left but to persevere.
"How utterly disgusting. Perhaps your intentions only permit you to scheme in the darkness of your own room, I suppose?"
Walking through the door was a Great Spirit in the form of a young girl. She processed a menacing look, eying him up and down.
"Beatrice-sama?"
Julius only grew confused at her tone, but couldn't find himself surprised that she would spite him. That was merely the correct thing to do.
"What are you planning, in fact?"
Her eyes seemed like they would pierce through him. He could almost feel the hole burning through his chest.
After a brief moment to catch up to himself, he finally replied.
"I assure you that I do not have any ill intentions toward you or anyone else. I can see that you do not trust me, as my name has sadly been ripped away. However, I do not intend to stand motionless. There are a great many threats in this tower, and I wholly impose myself to protect you all, and Subaru, per his instructions."
The spirit appeared to be considering his words for a moment, before shaking her head.
"Protect us? If you were protecting us, then tell Betty why her contractor has ended up in that state!"
Julius flinched. Greif struck his face as he bit into his lip and balled his fists.
"Please, tell Betty why! Why doesn't he remember?"
The knight remained silent for a moment. He had to chose his words carefully. If he gave any information about Gluttony, or Reid's book of the dead, it could result in even worse ramifications. If they knew about the archbishop, or how to reach her, they would undoubtedly put themselves in danger in an attempt to return Subaru's memories.
At the same time, he had realized his mistake when he mentioned Subaru's 'instructions'. Even now, he wasn't sure whether Subaru had actually managed to arrest Louis' form, or if she was attempting to manipulate him into drawing the other members of the group to her. The possibility that this was another part of the Witch Cult's scheme had to be taken with great consideration.
Gathering his thoughts, he gave the same explanation he had given before.
"It was a book of the dead. I can't explain the details, but that is what caused him to lose his memories."
"Liar!"
Beatrice pointed her finger at him as tears rolled down her angry eyes. Julius Divine Protection allowed him to connect with spirits on a deeper level, but it did not take such a power to tell how distressed she was.
"Betty knows… She read the book, She knows how they work! Mother lived here, she was involved in this tower's construction! Betty knows how the books work, in fact. There is something you are hiding from us."
His heart began to sink. Could he hide it any longer? Was there any chance that they would allow him to slip away?
The young girl continued to eye him down spitefully as she backed towards the door.
"Betty will find out, I suppose. Even if she has to rip it out of you."
As her steps disappeared through the hallway, the room again grew silent as the cracks grew in the mind of the young knight.
What started out as a walk quickly devolved into a scramble. With each step, the site flashed in his mind.
A white cloak and purple hair, stained with blood.
Even with as little he knew of Julius, the idea of letting him die was incomprehensible.
And so he sprinted down the hallway.
Rounding the corner, he saw the young girl clad in red.
"Beatrice!"
Noticing him calling out for her, she sped up to meet him.
"Subaru, what is it I suppose?"
"Beatrice, where were you? Have you seen Julius?"
Noticing the first thing he mentioned was in regards to that suspicious knight, she gave a pout.
"Really, you are concerned about that man? Betty gave him a piece of her mind, in fact."
She adopted a look of distaste as she talked about him.
Hearing what she said, Subaru lowered his tone.
"Beatrice. What did you do to him?"
Beatrice shook her head.
"Nothing he didn't deserve, I suppose. Betty only-"
"Beatrice!"
The black haired boy suddenly became irate, grabbing onto her arm and eyeing her down.
As if doing a complete 180, the spirit quickly crumbled under his grip.
"B-Betty is sorry, I suppose! I only asked him a few questions, I didn't do anything to him!"
A few tears crawled down her face at her contractors actions. Never before had he been this rough with her. She knew that he loved her, why was he doing this? Why would he be concerned for an outsider like that knight of all things?
Letting go of her arm, the boy strode forward.
"Damn it! I don't have much time!"
Beatrice stumbled back to her feet, attempting to catch up with him.
"W-wait in fact! Betty will come with y-"
"No you won't! You will go back with the others."
"B-but I-"
"Now!"
Subaru had turned his head, looking down on her with fire in his eyes.
The teary eyed Beatrice quickly spun around and began walking the other direction, not bothering to turn and face him again. He could hear her sniffles and hics as he made his way back down the hall.
Shit… She didn't deserve that. I'll have to apologize once this is all over.
He didn't have time to think about it. Someone's life was on the line.
No matter what, he couldn't allow Julius to die a second time.
Julius sat with his back to the wall, considering his options.
Beatrice knew. She didn't know everything, but she was on to him. If she learned anything else, their safety would be compromised.
I could tell them. He thought.
No. Telling them would only put them in danger, wouldn't it? At the same time, a detailed explanation would clear up their suspicion.
But I would be sending them to their deaths…
That was true. In the event that they learned the truth, they would go through him if they needed to. There was a good chance they would end up just like him or Subaru.
Probably worse.
He would be condemning them to die.
He pushed himself away from the wall and rested his palm over his eye.
A choice. He had to make a choice. Who would he sacrifice?
Beatrice's words echoed through his head.
"Betty will find out, I suppose. Even if she has to rip it out of you."
It was only a matter of time before they found the truth. Yes, they were suspicious. They could peruse the library and stumble upon the book, but that was unlikely. The chance of them finding the truth by trial and error was incredibly small.
It was him. That was how they would find out.
He was the key to their death.
Busting through the door of his room and entering the hall, he had come to a revelation.
If he were to leave the tower, they would undoubtedly search for him. This would only endanger them further.
If he were to share his knowledge, they would be cursed to die.
So there was only one final option.
Subaru, forgive me.
Coming to a stop, the knight peered towards his feet.
Below him was the 5th floor. The fall was substantial, enough to kill any unguarded human.
Julius turned his eyes towards his outstretched hand.
'Ladies.'
An array of spirits of varying color sprang forth. Despite the contract that he had made with them in the past, they still clung to him. It was unlikely to be anything other than his Divine Protection.
'You can go now. Please take care.'
Wordlessly, they followed his instruction. He could feel the connection from their contract dissolve within his od, a feeling that he shared only with himself. These spirits had no recollection of him.
As they flew past, he fixed his gaze on the floor below. The tips of his boots were now hovering over the abyss.
This will be my final failure, one I shall take with me to the grave.
Slowly he leaned forward, closing his eyes and loosening the tension from his body.
I leave my lady in your capable hands.
It took every ounce of concentration to release himself to the fall. His body desperately attempted to pull itself back, but he relented. There was no stopping this. This had to be done. It was the only option.
"I'm sorry for everything, Natsuki Subaru."
He was now beginning to fall. His torso was nearly parallel with the ground. He only hoped that the floor below would make short work of him.
However, before he could fall any further, he felt something grip around his ankle.
"Sorry for what?! Being a colossal dumbass!?"
A familiar voice called out to him, on the precipice of a demise of his own creation.
Alright everybody, apologies for the wait. It's been almost two months since the last upload. Fortunately, I have already made a solid amount of progress on the next chapter. I recently found a breakthrough that will allow me to put in around 1000 or so words every day, so assuming it works out, you can start expecting regular updates. Anyways, let me know what you think. I know this is diverging a bit from canon, I am just taking the liberty of utilizing the butterfly effect to various degrees, at least that's my excuse. Anyways, there will be lots of interesting stuff coming up in the next few chapters, so keep an eye out. Thanks for everyone's support, I hope everyone has had a great day/ night wherever you live!
