Gomenasai everyone! *Bows head in apology*
I can't believe it's been almost 4 years since I have last updated this story. Wow a lot of things have happened in the past few years, it's been a wild ride. I don't want to go into details but I do feel really bad that I never ended up updating. I even wrote out the plot of what will happen in the last chapter. However, I never ended up writing out the details of what exactly would happen because I was stuck at a crossroads. I knew what I wanted to happen but I couldn't quite commit to one ending. At first I thought maybe I was suffering from the infamous writer's block, but I realized I knew what I wanted to say I just didn't want it to end. Seems like my personality is like that. I will never eat the last piece of food, I'll always leave one piece left. Because I don't want things to end. But alas all good things must come to an end.
After thinking a lot about what to do, I decided that I will write the last chapter as I imagined it to be when I first began writing this series. However, I couldn't stop thinking about "what if..."
What if Hana never went back to Homura? What if she returned back to her old life? How would she re-integrate back with her family? Would she still remember her three years in the K world? Would Homura try to find her? So I've decided that I should write an alternate ending. I think that would make me happy and really get my creative juices flowing. It would also help me getting over my mental block over endings.
So this author's announcement is my little teaser to what is coming in the future. If any of my followers are still following, please don't give up hope. I do plan to re-read the K project manga, re-watch all the animes and side stories, and then re-read my fanfiction to ensure I have continuity. To make sure I haven't forgotten any characters or anything of that sort. Then I shall put the finishing touches on the chapter that I'm planning to release.
Not to make excuses, but I am in a residency right now so this is also one of my excuses to procrastinate from writing my literature review papers and keep my mind off the presentations I have to do in the future. Nothing makes me more creatively productive than getting lost in my own head because I don't want to face the real world. And right now, the real world is a really crappy place to be. I think writing helps give me some semblance of control over my own stories because I wish the real world is different. I wish people could exist in peace without being greedy for power. But we are humans. Humans are faulty and flawed, we love and hate, we control and devour. We commit atrocities and come up with excuses for why these atrocities must occur. Humans continue to take and take and take, we take from the environment, we take from the nature around us, we take from each other.
Wow okay, I did not mean to go onto a mini rant there.
Thank you for everyone who's come with me so far on this journey.
