Update
I apologize in advance to those waiting for further updates, but I am unable to continue the story while it is being rewritten. Unfortunately, there are things I don't like about them or threads that I would like to develop more broadly, so for now it remains what it is. The general form of the story does not change; it may only be expanded, so please be patient. There are others on the way, which I also write about actively as much as I can, but life is life and you can't skip some things.
