Author's Addendum:

Today is the 5th of December in the year 2024. I will turn 21 on the 7th and i have finished the last few lines of work on the Epilogue of Rewritten earlier today.

I started Rewritten four and a half years ago in the summer of 2020 while i was cycling the depths of depression that still to this day haunt but not cripple me. I started this series as a internet-centric not loner but rather lonely person. While i still suffer from lonliness every now and then i keep fighting because i know that life has some rather beautiful things in store for me, one of those things was experiencing and will continue to be experiencing Beastars.
To me the story back when i first read it was a story that painted the world as uncaring to those that dont fit into the unfair rulings of the world as in the relationship of citizens to a state upholding some natural ruling. And as the themes lent itself to the idea of not fitting it, it portrayed the normal status quo as a terrible and horrible thing but one that fit into a sense of nature. It is within a carnivores nature to kill and eat meat.

I have grown some… a lot i would care to think as this feeling of hatred towards the original for I saw it's world as an unchangeable status quo, i nowadays realize that it never tried to say any of those things. It's a celebration of being different and that those that are strong, like our beloved Legosi and Louis, can and should protect those ideals that are worth protecting. This fight is a fight worth dying for, worth experiencing pain for and one that will end up making us better.

I am currently going through the ringer of q autism diagnosis and i suspect to also have a form of ADHD, and i celebrate the way that i am different from the norm as i find the norm has grown jaded and ignorant of a lot of problems. And when i experience Beastars i feel a turmoil in my heart that i need to take breaks for in order to weather properly. Its a weird feeling that i suspect has to do with it being a considerable hyper-focus for a long time.

In the end i cannot really justify why i wrote this Story. I liked Juno a lot and felt her treated poorly for no reason, and i liked wolves a lot. So i wrote a Jugosi story because i felt like it and just kept going cause i just had so many good ideas here and there and everywhere. This story has honed my abilities to a point where i feel comfortable in writing my original worlds and works, multiple concepts and ideas floating in my head that i wish to bring to paper.
I guess this whole Addendum is supposed to say one thing and one thing only. Thank you Studio Orange, Thank you, Paru Itagaki, Thank you, Stephen King, Thank you, Junji Ito, Thank Hideaki Anno, Thank you, Ken Levine, Thank you, Warren Spector. Thank you Tim Cain, and all those that shaped my hyper-focuses and therefore painted worlds for me to live for a while.

Thank you to anyone out there that creates something that inspires another. Thank you for those that are inspired and Thank you to Life for letting me experience it.

I am going to take some time to concentrate on an original work of mine that has sprouted from another writer and mines inspiration and hopefully sooner or later you'll find a book in a store somewhere with my name as writer on it. And i hope that whatever book you buy that day, should it be mine or anothers, i hope you enjoy it and treasure it.

I should mention that the Rework of Season 1 is on hold unfortunately due to the factoid that i cannot really concentrate on Beastars much at the minute. Maybe i'll crank out some more chapters for it in the future but i cannot promise it'll ever be finished.

Thank you for Reading and Thank you for your attention. I loved every second of this Journey and i'm off to start my next one. I hope you'll do to and i hope that at the end of it you come out a better person than before.

Foxy's Addendum:

Hola amigos. How are y'all doing over 4 years later? Or perhaps you've only just picked up and finished the story just this past month? Either way, no matter how long you've been on this journey with us. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being here.

I still remember when I first started this journey with Portal in the summer of 2020, and now here we are, bringing this small chapter of our lives to a close. It's truly brilliant, to be part of a story such as this. And having accomplished this over several years has, of course, brought with it much change. The way we write has changed. The way we interpret stories has changed. The way we relate to these characters has changed. So much has changed. I imagine a lot of you have changed as well since then, for those of you that have stuck around that long. Thank you for being here with us.

As for how I've personally changed, I'll be turning 20 soon and finishing up my final year of college as an Aviation Maintenance and Technician major. I'm a lot more mature than I was then, a lot less alone as well. I made a lot of mistakes getting here. A lot. But in hindsight I'm happy that they happened. And I'm happy with who I've become because of them.

It's crazy how time flies and how much is different now as well as how much is still the same. Life truly can be a beautiful thing. As was this story. Thank you again. Whether you've been here from the start or just started yesterday, thank you. And thank you Portal for letting me be a part of this chapter in your life and to be a part of your story. And thank you Clone for being a part of this Journey with us as well.

To be completely honest I could probably use the break from writing and editing. Shit's hard to manage alongside school and work lol. Whatever happens next, this has been fun, through all its ups and downs.

P.S: I will update this chapter with Clones Addendum as soon as he finishes it. didn't want to keep you waiting any longer though.
