I apologize immensely for the delay in publishing the next chapter. I know it sounds absurd, but what should have been a period full of joyful activity and joy of seeing relatives has left me in a bad emotional state, from which it is difficult to remove myself. I think I worked little and badly on the chapter, repeating, distorting and impersonating scenes endlessly, with poor results. I'm a little better now, but it's hard to re-emerge from one's abyss sometimes.
