Hello, dear readers.

I won’t be able to update the story for the next few months.

My father passed away, and at the moment I don’t have the energy - or even the mindspace - to write or think about much of anything.

There are things in my life right now that need my full attention, and I don’t want to compromise on them.

I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but my circumstances just aren’t in the right place at the moment.

P. S. I won’t be responding to comments for a while. I’d really appreciate it if you could refrain from asking me anything for a few days. I know you’re all thoughtful and understanding, but I’m not in the right state to reply right now.
