This is a commission. That means I can't control what goes on in the story. Feels like no one read the AN in chapter one

Bell, Astraea, and Lili sat in the dining room of the Stardust Garden. Lili nervously shuffled in her seat, and she wasn't disguised as a chienthrope anymore. Astraea's eyes bore into the prum with calculating precision.

The sun was starting to set, bathing the dining room in its glow. It had been a few days since the incident.

Lili looked over to Bell, whose eyes were hollow and puffy. His hands rested on the table, and his eyes stared at nothing.

Astraea cleared her throat to get Lili's attention. "Now, Lili, Bell here has told me what happened in the dungeon. But I would like to hear your side of the story."

Lili turned her attention to the goddess of justice and gulped. "Lili belongs to the Soma familia, and she can't leave. The captain is charging a 10 million valid fee just to be able to see our god. Lili is constantly abused by other adventurers and robbed. Lili is also constantly underpaid by adventurers, so she barely makes any money. So, I resorted to stealing from other adventurers just to get by and make enough money to leave. Lili wants nothing more than to leave the Soma familia."

Lili's voice started to crack, and her lip began quivering. "Lili didn't know those men would attack Bell. She never wanted any harm to come to Bell."

Astraea nodded and glanced at Bell, who still looked at Lili. "She's telling the truth, Bell."

"I know, but I still killed two people for her," Bell responded. His voice didn't have its usual cheeriness to it. It was flat and dead.

"Lili is sorry you got involved, Bell. I'll take whatever punishment you see fit."

Bell stared at the prum, who was starting to cry now. Her tiny body shook as tears streamed down her cheeks. Bell shook his head and sighed.

"Doesn't matter if you didn't mean to get me involved, Lili. I still killed two people to save you. Astraea, I'll leave you to dish out any punishment." Bell said.

Astraea nodded as Bell got up and walked away. The goddess then turned her attention back to the crying prum. She felt somewhat responsible for the situation she was in.

If her familia wasn't slaughtered, maybe she could've prevented it. Maybe if she hadn't left the city and stayed with Ryu. Maybe the two of them could've rebuilt the familia earlier and stopped things like this from happening.

But she didn't. Her familia was dead, and she fled the city soon after. Now Ryu was self-isolating herself at the Hostess, and Bell had just killed two people to defend himself and Lili.

In a way, this was her fault. But it also wasn't. But she was a goddess of justice. It was her duty to make sure those are treated fairly within the law and that those affected by evil acts get their justice.

"I've made my decision," Astraea said.

Lili sniffled and looked up at the goddess. Tears still streaming down her face. Astraea's face remained impassive, but her eyes held warmth.

"I understand why you did what you did. It wasn't out of malice but of desperation. You said you stole from adventurers before. Did you think about robbing Bell?"

Lili nodded. "Yes, Lili hates adventurers. They also steal and beat Lili up, knowing there's nothing I can do about it. But Bell was different. At first, I didn't know how to rob him because of how fast he was. He would've just easily caught up to me. But the more time I spent with him, the more I realized he wasn't like the others. He was kind. Even on that day before we went into the dungeon, he saw that I was tired and hungry. He fed me and made sure I got some rest before we headed down. That's how I knew he wasn't like the others."

Astraea nodded as she digested the words. "Yeah, Bell really is a one-of-a-kind. If it wasn't for him, there's a good chance I wouldn't be back in this city for a long while. But Lili, you still committed a crime by stealing from others."

Lili's head dropped. "I know, because of my actions, Bell had to kill two people."

Astraea shook her head. "It wasn't entirely your actions. From what you've said before, others have already treated you like that. But you did steal, and for that, I'll have to arrest you."

Lili nodded. "I understand."

"Good, as such, you will remain here under my supervision, helping me tend to my garden outside. It really is a lot of work for one person. Even for a goddess."

Lili's head shot up as she stared at Astraea wide-eyed. Astraea just gave her a coy smirk.

"Is something the matter? You are being punished for the crime of stealing, are you not?"

"B-but-

"But nothing, you stole. I've sentenced you to manual labor as punishment. What's not to understand?"

Lili went to respond but closed her mouth. The punishment felt too light on her. Two people were dead because of her actions. At least, that's how Lili saw it.

Sure, two people were dead, but at the end of the day, it was self-defense. Plain and simple. Canoe and his group would've killed Bell and Lili the second Bell was disarmed. He had no other choice.

Bell knew this, and so did Astraea. Lili was the only one who didn't seem to grasp that. Whether it was a trauma response or her holding out some meager vein of hope, none knew.

But there was only one way that situation could've ended. Either Bell and Lili died. Or Bell killed to ensure their survival, and if anyone asked. Bell wouldn't hesitate to do it again should the situation call for it.

"Well, it's time to show you to your quarters while you remain here," Astraea said, standing up.

Lili was quick to do so as well and follow the goddess of justice. Astraea led Lili to Lyra's old room. Astraea removed the name tag with hesitance before handing it to Lili.

"Leave that name tag on your dresser. I will come back to clean out the dresser and get you some new clothes. But other than that, this room is yours now." Astraea said.

Lili took the name tag, and her finger briefly traced over the name. Astraea opened the door to the room and gestured for Lili to go inside.

"Now get some rest. Tomorrow will be the start of your hard labor," Astraea said. Though Lili could hear the sarcasm in her voice.

Astraea left and closed the door behind her. Lili took a second to take in the room surrounding her. It was bigger than any other bedroom she'd had before.

In the upper left corner of the room was a small bed with blue sheets and red pillows. On the right wall was the dresser and a table next to the door. Next to the bed on the right side was a nightstand with a lamp on it. There weren't any windows in this room.

Lili hesitantly walked over to the small bed and sat down. The mattress felt comfortable enough, but Lili had slept on worse. She felt nervous being here, still not used to kindness.

She looked at the name tag she held in her hand. She knew this person was long dead. Bell had told her so before the incident.

She wondered what type of person this Lyra was. But Lili would wonder later as she felt her eyes grow heavy. It had been a rough couple of days for her, and she couldn't imagine what they had been like for Bell.

.

.

.

Bell laid in his bed holding Kaguya's name tag. He ran his fingers over the letters as he mindlessly stared at it.

He hadn't gotten much sleep these last couple of days. He kept dreaming about what happened. Canoe's head flying through the air. The look of fear in Ged's eyes as Bell drove his blade into his neck.

The blood, there was so much blood. The smell, the smell was also. Bell never knew how bad a dead body could smell. Well, he knew now.

"I wonder if this could've been avoided if you weren't slaughtered." Bell wondered.

He felt a sense of comfort in talking to Kaguya. He felt like she was listening to him from heaven. Trying to offer him advice but failing to do so since she was no longer alive.

"Or maybe this was supposed to happen? Maybe those two were supposed to die by my hand. As karma for those they had hurt. For hurting Lili."

Bell brought the name tag close to his chest. He held it there and took a deep breath. Bell was trying to picture Kaguya in his mind. To see if she could offer any words of comfort or wisdom.

But none came.

"Who am I kidding? You're dead, and I'm the poor fool who arrived late to the party. I didn't know you, and you didn't know me, so why would you offer me words of wisdom."

Bell sat up and looked at the name tag once more. He sighed once more and shook his head.

"Because you were a keeper of justice, and as such, you were probably kind. I don't know what I'm doing. I have skills from people who are dead. I don't deserve them. I didn't work for them. Yet I have them. Maybe I was just hoping you'd be able to help me out in some way. But that would mean disturbing you from your slumber, and that's not fair."

Bell set the name tag on his bed. He thought back to the reason he came to Orario. It was to become a hero. A hero that saves people. Like the ones his Grandpa read to him about.

Bell scoffed. "That was a foolish way of thinking. Those stories of old are just that. Stories romanticized to show good always beats evil. Only talking about the heroics and not what is needed to pave the way there."

Bell pinched the bridge of his nose. His mind was a mess, and his thoughts were jumbled. He still wanted to be a hero. He still wanted to help people, he did help someone. But is this how it would be?

How many would he have to kill in his pursuit to help those in need? Would he be willing to? Would he so easily take another life again to save someone?

Bell wanted to say yes. But with that came the burden of carrying all those he killed. He was already carrying two.

"I don't know what to think. On the one hand, that was a kill-or-be-killed situation. Will the others be like that? Or will I have a choice in the matter that time?"

Bell was so confused about what to think. He had gone his entire life thinking killing was wrong, and one shouldn't do it. But in a situation like that. He had no other choice than to kill.

Bell groaned. "Ugh, I wish Grandpa was still. He'd know what to say. He always seemed to know what to say."

His mind wandered back to the old man that had raised him. His grey bushy beard came to mind. Bell felt a single tear roll down his cheek, remembering him. He was quick to wipe it away.

"Would he know what to say? Or would it just be another lie? Why did he lie to me? Did he think I couldn't handle the truth?"

Bell's mind just felt more cluttered than before. He had more questions and still no answers. He hit his mattress in frustration.

"Alright, screw this. I'm getting something that'll take my mind off all this."

Bell grabbed Kaguya's name tag and placed it on his nightstand before standing up. He attached his sword to his belt and grabbed his coin purse.

He knew exactly what he needed.

Ryu stood in the Hostess of Fertility. It was almost closing time, and she hadn't seen Astraea nor Bell in the past few days. She was starting to grow worried.

"They probably don't want anything to do with me anymore. That's probably it." Ryu thought as she mindlessly swept.

She didn't blame them, of course. She was a stone-cold killer who went on a rampage against Evilus after the death of her familia.

But now it was restarting, and she didn't go back. It was best she didn't. She'd put Bell and Astraea in danger if she did.

"It's better this way. They'll be safer if they forget about me." Ryu thought.

But her heart ached at the idea. She wanted to be there with them. She wanted nothing more than to see her goddess every day. Help her in the garden. Spend time with her. She wanted to do those things.

With Bell, she wanted to train him. To show him the ropes and be his protector so someone like him could still smile. Someone so pure and kind.

She wanted to protect that smile.

She kept sweeping mindlessly until she saw Astraea walk in. The goddess entered in a regal-like manner as she always did. But Ryu could tell Astraea was troubled.

"Lady Astraea, what's wrong?" Ryu worriedly asked.

Astraea gave Ryu a soft smile. "Hello, Ryu, sorry I haven't stopped by recently. But I need your help."

"Anything, just tell me what you need." Ryu quickly responded.

Astraea's eyes filled with a slight sadness that hid a deeper one. She briefly closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Bell had an incident in the dungeon. People died, and I can't get through to him. I've tried talking to him, giving him his space. But nothing's working. He also hasn't slept and has started drinking a lot."

Ryu gulped and nodded. "I see, and you think I can get through to him because we went through similar things?"

Astraea nodded. "I know it's probably selfish of me to ask this. But I don't know how else to get through to him. I thought maybe you could since you share this type of experience."

Ryu stared at her goddess, who seemed nervous. It was obvious to Ryu that Astraea really wanted to help Bell. But she was having trouble doing so.

Ryu didn't blame her for coming to her. Ryu knew what it was like to kill and have people die right in front of you.

"How did those people die?" Ryu asked.

Astraea nervously swallowed. "Bell killed them." She muttered.

Ryu's eyes widened in shock. "What?! How? What happened?!"

Astraea let out a tired sigh. "He and his supporter were attacked. Bell had no choice. I know he won't let me in, but it's really eating him up on the inside. I was hoping you could talk with him."

Ryu quickly nodded. "Of course. Is he coming here, or am I needed at the Stardust Garden?"

Astraea noticed Ryu didn't call it her home. But she brushed that aside for now. Helping Bell was what was important to the both of them right now.

"He's back home. He likes to sit out in the garden at night. He says he likes to watch the stars. During the day, he mostly stays away from me and Lili."

"Lili?" Ryu asked.

"Bell's supporter. She's wrapped up in some pretty bad things of her own. Bell protected her, and as such, two men died."

"Is this supporter dangerous?"

Astraea shook her head. "No, not at all. She's just a poor girl who's had to live life under constant abuse from those around her. She's not even allowed to leave her familia unless she pays a 10 million valis fee."

Ryu scoffed. "That's despicable."

Astraea nodded. "It is, I'm currently working with Ganesha on a way to get Lili out of there. But in the meantime, I've been teaching her how to garden and the values of justice."

Ryu quirked an eyebrow. "And does she like these values?"

Astraea nodded. "She does, her thoughts about justice were similar to yours."

Ryu looked away. "That was a long time ago now."

Astraea frowned. "Ryu, I didn't mean anything by that."

Ryu stood up. "I know, I'll go and get changed, then come back with you to check on Bell."

Ryu walked away before Astraea could say another word. The goddess sighed and placed her hand back on the table.

Meanwhile, during their entire conversation. A brown-haired catgirl was listening in.

"Oh, Bell." She worriedly thought.

.

.

.

.

Bell sat in the garden. A small round table next to him with a whiskey bottle and a glass on top of it. He was drinking whiskey because he remembered his Grandpa always used to drink it.

He felt some form of comfort while drinking it. He felt closer to his Grandfather now that he was gone.

Bell took a quick swig, thinking about that. He still didn't want to believe the man who raised him was gone. It just couldn't be real.

Bell took another swig, finishing the glass before refilling it. He gazed at the stars and admired their beauty.

Shining so bright in the sky and illuminating the darkness. His Grandpa told him each star had a story, and that one only had to listen to hear it.

"I'm pretty sure he was just giving me pickup lines." Bell chuckled.

Bell took another sip from his glass and sighed. He knew this wasn't healthy, and it wasn't really helping at all. But it made him forget, if only for a few minutes.

"Can't keep running from your problems, Bell. Can't keep running from your problems."

Bell took another sip before setting the glass down. It was empty now, and Bell was tempted to refill it once more.

"Bell." Ryu softly called out to him.

Bell found that weird. Ryu never called him by his first name. Nor did she ever come by the Stardust Garden.

Bell turned his head to look at her. "Ryu, what are you doing here?"

Ryu walked up and pointed to the other chair next to Bell.

"Mind if I sit?" She asked.

"Go right ahead," Bell responded.

Ryu took her seat, and Bell noticed she looked different. She wasn't dressed in her green maid uniform. Instead, she wore a white shirt with jeans.

"Think this is the first time I've seen you in normal clothes," Bell said.

"I'm not at work. Wouldn't make much sense to wear it outside of me working." Ryu responded.

"Fair point, so I'm guessing Astraea asked you to talk to me?"

The moonlight shone down on them, allowing Ryu to see Bell better. He had bags under his eyes, which were more hollow than usual.

"Have you not been sleeping, Bell?" Ryu asked.

Bell leaned his head back. "Does it matter? That's not what we're here to talk about."

Ryu sighed. "Lady Astraea told me what happened. I understand if you feel guilty, Bell. Taking a person's life is easy, and when you do it, the weight of that crashes down on your shoulders. It makes you feel bad for what you did."

Bell turned and looked Ryu in the eyes. "That's the thing, Ryu. I don't feel bad for what I did. I've been thinking and thinking about that situation and if I had to do it again. Those two were bad men, and the world's a better place now that they're gone."

Bell shifted, and now his whole body was facing Ryu. "And it scares me that I don't feel bad. It scares me that I care so little about life like that. I don't want to become someone that can so easily take a life."

Ryu listened to Bell's silent plea that was lost to the night air. Since it was still summer, it wasn't chilly outside, but it soon would be.

"Bell, you know what I did after our familia was wiped out, correct?"

Bell nodded. "Yeah, you killed everyone that was responsible. Brought Evilus to its knees by your sheer wrath alone."

Ryu's ears slightly drooped. "Yes, but that's not all. I targeted anyone remotely connected to Evilus. In my anger, I wanted to stamp out any traces left of them. I used poisons and traps. Nothing was off the table for me, and by the time I was done, I felt empty. I completed my revenge, but it didn't bring my familia back."

Bell leaned forward. "I'm sorry you went through that. But Ryu, you ended the dark age. I'm just some kid who killed two people in self-defense."

"I wasn't much older than you when I did that. All I know is my actions had consequences, and as such, I'm blacklisted from the guild and have someone hunting me. But I still want to help you."

Bell sighed. "I appreciate that, I really do. I want to talk to you more about this, but it's hard. Every time I close my eyes, I just get taken back to that moment. Nothing changes, and those men still die. I feel bad for only a moment. Then nothing, no regret, no feelings of anguish. Just relief that they're dead and I'm not. Does that make me a bad person?"

Ryu hesitantly put her hand on top of Bell's. The boy looked down at it and back up to her.

"I thought you didn't like to be touched?"

"I don't, but your touch doesn't disgust me. I don't know why."

Bell looked to the grass beneath him. "How did you deal with everything after your crusade ended? Astraea's tried to help me, but I can't talk to her about this. Not when she's…so kind and understanding. I just…I can't talk to her about this. I don't want her to know about any of this. She's done so much for me, and I don't want to taint her with the blood on my hands."

Ryu patted the top of Bell's hand as her chair scooted closer. Bell reminded her a lot of herself in a way. Not wanting to burden Astraea with her problems.

"Lady Astraea has seen death. During the Dark Age, bombings and attacks were constant. Dead bodies littered the streets every hour of every day. Lady Astraea is used to death. But we're the same in not wanting her to know about it. But she is accepting of who I became. After my revenge spree, I wanted nothing more than to lay down and die. I would've died bleeding out in some alleyway. But Syr stepped in and saved me. She showed me that life was still worth living. You just need to find a purpose to it."

Bell chuckled and sniffled. "Ryu, I have a purpose, it's the whole reason I came to Orario. I want to be a hero and help people. But I don't know if that will be enough anymore."

Bell took in a shaky breath. "I'm scared, Ryu, I'm scared of myself for not feeling bad about killing. I'm scared that I'd do it again if it meant Lili and I got to live. If someone harmed Astraea, I'd kill them as well. The idea of it just seems so easy…and that scares me."

Ryu reached up with her other hand and patted Bell on the shoulder. "Having those thoughts doesn't make you a bad person. As long as you don't act on them, they're nothing more than just thoughts."

"And if I acted on these thoughts?"

"Do you plan to kill someone else just because you can?"

Bell shook his head.

"Then you're defending yourself or someone important to you. Killing doesn't make you a bad person. It's the way you go about it that does. I know from experience."

Bell sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. Ryu's words had helped him a lot with the thoughts that jumbled his mind.

"I just feel bad for Astraea. I can tell that not talking to her about this hurt her and worried her. But there are some things I don't want to talk about. Not with her, at least, and that's nothing against her or her character. But Astraea picked me up on the side of the road. Some nobody she didn't know or cared anything about. Yet she helped me. Escorted me to Orario, gave me a place to stay as I searched for a familia, and when I didn't find one, she offered me a spot in hers. Some nobody on the side of the road, and she helped me."

"You're not a nobody, you're important to Lady Astraea," Ryu stated.

Bell chuckled. "I am a nobody, Ryu. To both you and Astraea. Astraea has known me for two and a half months. You've only known me for a month. I'm just some country bumpkin she took pity on."

Ryu let out a frustrated sigh. "Bell, did you ever think to ask what Lady Astraea felt."

Bell shook his head. "I know how she feels. This is how I feel about myself."

Ryu furrowed her brow. "And why do you feel this way?"

"I don't know, but I do. Astraea's nice and kind. But I feel like I've taken advantage of her kindness in some way. I don't know why I feel this way. Maybe it's because she's the only thing good I have going for me in my life, and I'm afraid she'll leave, so I do this as to save myself the hurt. I don't know."

Ryu nodded slightly, understanding Bell better now. "Well, Lady Astraea would never do that. She won't leave you. She won't leave anyone ever again."

Bell nodded and looked back up to the stars. "You know my Grandpa always said that each star has a story. You just have to be quiet and listen. I wonder if one of them is him."

"I'm sorry for your loss, Bell."

"Thanks, Ryu, for everything. Things seem much clearer now. I think I'm going to try and get some sleep now."

Bell stood up and grabbed the whiskey bottle. He handed it to Ryu, who held her hand up.

"I don't drink." She said.

"I want you to take this from me. Hide somewhere I can't find it or destroy it. I relied on it, and I shouldn't have. It being here will always remind me it's an option. I don't want that option."

Ryu could see the seriousness in Bell's eyes. She could tell he hated himself for having this moment of weakness. For turning to the bottle as a means to cope.

So, without a second thought, she took it out of his hand. She examined it and saw it was already half empty. She also noticed that Bell reeked of booze. She didn't know why she hadn't picked up on it earlier.

Maybe she was too focused on helping Bell to notice what he smelled like.

"Are there any more?" Ryu asked.

Bell shook his head. "No, that's the last one. If you didn't talk to me tonight, I probably would've bought more. If I ever buy more for a reason like that. Beat me until I can't stand anymore."

Ryu's face filled with concern. "Isn't that a little extreme, Bell?"

Bell shook his head. "No, I know what alcoholism can do to a person. There was a man in my village who was one, and he was a mean son of a bitch. I don't want to end up like him."

Ryu nodded. "Ok, Bell, if I hear you bought copious amounts of alcohol, I'll pay you a visit."

Bell smiled at Ryu. It was a tired one, but a smile nonetheless. "Thanks, Ryu, now I'm going to go get some sleep. Then bathe and have a talk with Astraea. Good night, Ryu."

"Good night, Bell," Ryu responded.

Bell grabbed his glass before leaving the garden. Once Bell was gone, Ryu looked at the bottle. She could see her reflection in it.

Ryu then turned her attention to the moon and stars once more. Bell's words about the stars rang through her mind.

"Is your story up there, Alise? Are you and the others watching me?" Ryu wondered.

Receiving no answer, Ryu looked back to the bottle once more.

"I don't need you, and neither does he."

Ryu then walked away. Her journey took her to the wall of Orario. She gazed at the massive structure before reeling her arm back and tossing the bottle against the wall.

It shattered on impact, thanks to her level four stats. The orange-golden liquid spilled on the ground as well as the glass. Ryu was quick to clean up the broken glass and discard it. She didn't want anyone cutting themselves on it after all.

Once that was done, she headed back to the Hostess to rest.

.

Bell awoke early the following day. He laid in bed for a few more minutes, enjoying the comfort of his mattress. But he knew he needed to get up and get cleaned. He could smell how bad he smelled from the booze.

With a sigh, he pushed himself up and slightly stumbled out of bed. He had a slight headache, but nothing too bad.

"Ha, I have a stronger tolerance than Astraea. Well, that's not saying much."

Bell stumbled out of his room and walked to the bathroom. He knocked on the door to make sure no one was in there. Hearing no response, Bell entered and took off his clothes.

He walked to the shower and turned it on. He waited for the water to heat up a bit before stepping in. He grabbed a bar of soap and ran it across his body in order to clean himself.

He felt himself starting to relax slightly as he cleaned himself. Something about being clean made him feel more human.

After washing his hair, he turned the shower off and stepped out. He dried himself off with a towel before wrapping it around his waist.

Bell stepped outside and went back to his room. He shut the door behind him and locked it before going over to his dresser. He grabbed a white t-shirt and black pants, as well as underwear and socks.

He put them all on in quick succession before exiting his room once more. He walked into the dining room, seeing Astraea sitting at the table. Sipping a coffee and reading the newspaper. Bell could hear the shower running again.

Lili was in it.

"Good morning, Bell." Astraea warmly greeted.

Bell gave her a nervous smile. "Good morning, Astraea. I need to talk to you."

Astraea set her newspaper down and gestured to the seat next to her. "Have a seat."

Bell nodded and sat down. He faced Astraea, who looked at him with a warm and welcoming gaze. Something that made Bell feel even worse for how he acted.

"I'm sorry for how I acted. Pushing you away and all when you were only trying to help."

"That's ok, Bell, I don't blame you. You were going through some things, and you had to work them out in your own way. Just know that I am here to offer you my help should you need it."

Bell sighed and looked down at the table. "Thank you, that means a lot to me. Really, it does. But with things like that. Death and killing, I want to keep all of that stuff away from you. You're important to me. As well as pure and kind. I want to keep all this nasty stuff away from you."

Astraea placed her hand atop Bell's. She gave it a comforting squeeze. "Bell, that's very sweet of you, but I've seen death before. Multiple times in a single day, in fact. You don't need to protect me from it."

Bell looked into Astraea's eyes. She could see he wanted to do nothing more than protect her from this.

"I know, and it's selfish of me to think otherwise. But I want to. I don't know why, but I just do."

Astraea gave Bell's hand another comforting squeeze. "Alright, Bell, how about this? You don't talk to me about the deaths and killings, and I won't ask about them. But if you need to, you can, and I'll listen. Does that sound good?"

Bell nodded his head. Astraea smiled and patted the top of his hand.

"Good, now go and get some breakfast. I made the pancakes just the way you like them."

Bell gave Astraea the smile she had been wanting to see for a few days now. "Thanks, Astraea."

Bell then got up and walked to the kitchen. All the while, a plot was being concocted against Bell Cranel's life.

Well, that's the end of this chapter sorry it took a while to come out. Got the flu, then had my birthday, and wanted to update a few of my other projects as well.

But well, I'm all better now, and I should go back to updating this more soon. Anyway, hope you enjoyed and I'll catch you guys later.
