Oh no oh no---!
          I have to make a new chapter in between AGAIN, Aaaaaaaa!
          
          Ugh, this happened cause when I do be thinking about it, it makes no sense for Elfis to NOT clarify to Avril this early and with a renewed ish mind to warn her about her 'immortality'. I need to make this... I wanna title it interlude, but I dunno if that will fit and I need to make a whole new ahh chapter

Serious-kouhai: [Gyaaa--- Forgive me if I have to do some changes again! This one is mostly in the world building, so excuse me for the update notifs incoming for Re:Atonement]
          
          Serious-senior: [Is your worldbuilding at least stable?]
          
          Serous-kouhai: [You don't need to worry about that! I have a strict and laid out vision of Nexus and the design I have for it! Don't worry!]

EXTRA AFTERWORD FOR CHAPTER 6.1 (I forgor about it)
          
          Serious-senior: [Oya? What's this...? Seems like a note or scratch or something like that... Oh!]
          
          Serious-kouhai: [What are you doing???]
          
          Serious-senior: [...Pftt-- haha! You ended up forgetting?]
          
          Serious-kouhai: [Forgetting what!?]
          
          Serious-senior: [You wrote this! You forgot Avril's parents are dead!]
          
          “My father, my mother, and myself continued to be diligent. This led to us being less poor and I managed to have the chance to move out and get better opportunities. I didn’t move to the capital, but I did go to other major cities in Hálogreich. So I endeavored to do my best in every job I got, menial or not. All of it in order to get money and be more stable and help my family. And I’ll be able to fulfill my wants. I didn’t become nobility in the end, but I’m not poor anymore.”
          
          Serious-senpai: [It would be funny as heck if Avril said that to Grimm. She smoked too much of that alternate timeline.]
          
          Serious-kouhai: [That... That is funny. Imagine her cringed shocked ahh face when she realized she said that. Grimm would also be like, uhh what???]
          
          Serious-senior: [Well, good thing ya realized it. That's good.]

(6/17/2025): on Chapter 3 revision again
          
          No MAJOR changes, but the domino effect of Chapter 2 IS in place. If you have read this chapter, go near to the end where Avril has dinner with Reinhard for significant changes.
          
          Serious-kouhai is at the end. But I shall also show her here:
          
          Serious-senior: [Wow, you sometimes do have a habit of forgetting what you need to say, guess what, you ended up here when you didn't plan to.]
          
          Serious-kouhai: [Sorryyy... I sometimes end up writing when it's somewhat of a rush... so I do forget.]
          
          Serious-senior: [Alright, now tell us what you got, my junior.]
          
          Serious-kouhai: [So, I'd like to elaborate on why Chapter 2: Steakout at the Loothouse was heavily revised. It's because it made no sense for Avril to not react to Elsa 'dying'. She would have screamed for Reinhard to stop with his swordplay of the Astrea Family.]
          
          Serious-senior: [Although, you written something else entirely...~]
          
          Serious-kouhai: [Yep, I thought about the scene and thought things logically. It makes sense for Avril to immediately just restrain Elsa, you know? She doesn't like killing at all, so the best bet is to get her in jail.]
          
          Serious-senior: [You look like you got something else to add.]
          
          Serious-kouhai: [I'll say it here for the Wattpad version! Let's say Elfis had a hand in making things end up like that last Chapter. The way to last affect Avril's mental state is to have Elsa go to jail, and not have Avril see her 'die'. Because of a certain mama, Elsa will escape, and Avril will just as much be stressed out if Elsa escaped from her grasp. She'll take that as her failure. So Elfis made things like that.]
          
          Serious-senior: [Uh, I don't think you should have said the word mama...]
          
          Serious-kouhai: [Urk--! Oops! But I wasn't blunt---!]
          
          Serious-senior: [Session is over once more! See you in the next Afterword!!!]
          
          Serious-kouhai: [Alright... I'll take the 'shut up'.]

Author's Notes at July 16/2025-- Chapter 2.2 (Aftermath of the First Day):
          
          Domino effect of Chapter 2 is in effect, though not much changed (only the beginning, but no major important dialogue)  so if you have read this chapter, you don't need to read it again. Though I did change Esfir into Hálogreich, since I did work on Nexus. ahaha.
          
          So if there's no major changes, Serious-kouhai will not be appearing. Though she is hard at work.

Okay, I apologize for accidentally publishing a chapter that WAS NOT supposed to be released until after I finished ARC 1. My mistake, sorry.

Afterword for Chapter 2 Revision. And I return once more, haha
          
          <Afterword>
          
          
          
          Serious-kouhai: [Gyaaah! This chapter revision shouldn't have taken so long, but damn I got caught up in stuff. Good thing I am back to writing now. But ugh, I'm still swamped with other stuff despite having decided to use this month to really complete ARC 1. I seriously gave up on Art Fight for this.]
          
          Serious-senior: [Well, you really gotta pick up the slack before you're truly swamped with work. Keep up on this writing streak you got, even if this week is a 'busy' week for you.]
          
          Serious-kouhai: [Yes, yes! I shall not let this time go to waste at all---!]
          
          Serious-senior: [Also, I'm surprised you popped up THIS early. I thought you'd appear at least in ARC 2 or when you finished up ARC 1's main plotline.]
          
          Serious-kouhai: [Considering the amount of revisions I've done. It makes sense I'd be appearing at least now. To treat my dear viewers a bit better and be a bit more fun in the Author's Note AFTER a chapter.]
          
          Serious-senior: [Well, you aren't wrong. Also, do tell your readers the plan you got.]
          
          Serious-kouhai: [Of course! The plan I have is to release Re:Atonement super final version in AO3! And I'll actually appear in the end. Just that you readers here will find me this early!]
          
          Serious-senior: [You could wait for that, but my kouhai here will get some credibility points first before posting Re:Atonement. She'll be releasing another fic and a oneshot. What you got to show before you give out this self-indulgent fic?]
          
          Serious-kouhai: [Sure, I've spent so much time here ahaha... But it's still long as thanks to revising Chapter 2, there is a big domino effect. Okay, maybe not too big, but more revisions are up on the way...! So I'll tease about them some other time.]
          
          Serious-senior: [Seems like this session is over. See you our dear readers for the next update! And you get all the plus points if you recognize this format that we're doing, ahaha!]

I'm back again! And I finally revised, revamped chapter 3!
          Brand new in between chapter incoming!
          
          Back to writing, finally

Wow, uhm, that was a long hiatus...
          I really need to get my discipline back, it really cannot just be motivation... Either way! I now revised (not yet complete) Chapter 7!

Finally revised Chapter 6, now that break is nearing, I hopefully will be writing more~
          
          Though, I do plan to flesh out Felt-chan a bit more and add more scenes. More revisions.
          
          I am not dead
