for all my keiko readers who are still around:
i am so sorry. no, i am not discontinuing the story, but updates have been so delayed. my ultimate goal is to still finish book 1 by the end of this year, but with my current schedule i'm not sure how it will be. i'm going to try my best but i'd like to reiterate that there is no longer a guarantee. i hope you all still stick around with my schedule (finals are coming up, so after that i'll be free!) and finish keiko's story with me:)
