Moshi-moshi! Takahashi-dono here!

This particular fanfiction was written while I was bedridden with a high-grade ankle sprain. Our editor took the time out of his day to ensure a proper, fluid read of the story. To say that a lot of us didn't work hard on it is a vast understatement.

The entire story was created freely for your enjoyment. Whether you've seen Bleach or not, we did try our best to get readers engaged in the premise of our tale. Silas's adventure obviously doesn't end there. For as long as his heart yearns to see his family, he'll continue this rebellious streak.

Volume one comes to a close, but the finality hasn't. A review is not needed, as I mainly wrote this for fun and hope that it has entertained the reader. It can be read on a lot of sites that allow fanfiction to be freely published. If you or anyone else sees this book, and it's not in my name, it's likely a fake copy. And if that cool-looking Bankai image of Silas is seen anywhere else, you know where it came from first!

The entirety of volume one was created without any donations. Volume two, however, will not be created unless I get enough readers to support the work. I will never ask you guys to do that, so feel free to bask in the great adventure that Silas Wren underwent while trying to find his faith. And yes, yes, we read all the "emo" GIFs. Haha-ha!
