Writing this story has been a journey—one filled with heartache, hope, and the deep connection that comes with loss. Each character, each moment, has been crafted with care, reflecting the complex emotions we face in life when everything we know is shattered. I wanted to tell a story that showed not just the terror of the events that took place, but the aftermath—the long, winding path of grief and recovery, of learning to live with the pieces left behind.
This story isn't just about survival in the physical sense; it's about the emotional resilience we find in ourselves when we have no choice but to keep going. It's about the bonds we form with others, the strength we draw from the people who matter most, and the ways in which love—platonic, romantic, familial—can carry us through even the darkest of times.
Jaxon, Wren, Antonio, and Fawkes will always hold a special place in my heart, as I hope they do in yours. Their journey may be one of tragedy, but it's also one of courage and finding light in the shadows.
To anyone who has faced loss, heartbreak, or the struggles that life throws our way—I hope this story has resonated with you. We are all survivors in our own ways, and we are all capable of finding meaning in even the most difficult moments.
Thank you for walking this path with me.
With love and gratitude,
Kuromi
