To Love A Killer - "Index"

･｡*⋆☆⋆*｡･★･｡*⋆☆⋆*｡･

Edit (August 9, 2024)
Wattpad has become so exhausting, I'm not even sure why I try, and not just the site.

I really can't believe this has to be said and repeated, but here it goes anyway. Yes, this is going to be edited on multiple chapters so it has a chance to be read....

The Glossary and Index chapters aren't meant to be read or even remembered by you as the reader. You as the reader can easily skip them and not miss a single part of the story.

They are notes to look back on for me, as the author. To help with organization, so that I won't lose the info in my many other notes. And should you feel the need to look upon them, they are there for story information. Such as character, location, and slang info. (And so much more)
Feel free to read, go back to, or skip the two at you're leisure.

Another thing: if you consider these lists and descriptions "too long" or "dragging on" -Well news flash, this whole story is incredibly long. I've put a lot into it.

If it bothers you this early on, I don't recommend reading further chapters...

Now- Story Update:
The new chapter will be posted (hopefully) in the next month
(Posted on a03 -to be determined if I want to continue posting here...)
I'm not going to rush anything though. My family and mental health come first.
