Greeting, my favourite author im in love so much with your writing and characters. the best and creative plots you made especially the justice for our maya. hope i can give you appreciation token. anyway, im here actually to ask your permission to use your characters in my humble ff. im in progress of writing about a woman who had childhood crush on maya. the story wholly will be how she still like to watch over maya in silent from afar. she is Sei Hitori, her father was adopted son of abe hitori and the grandpa who is oyabun of yakuza made my oc as his advisor or admin role in yakuza. im going to publish the prologue soon so if you dont mind, i personally invite you to read my very poor written ff to understand more about the hierarchy of the yakuza. so in my planning, im going to borrow your maya as my oc's love interest. she will just story telling of her crush on maya without alternating maya and ilya you have created. i would like to make your stories as reference. where i would also borrow Ivan, Anya, Lidya as well since in my oc line of work, she will need to interact with the heir of yakuza which is Ivan. i imagine my oc call anya miss and spoiling lidya when ivan is away. i hope i wont make them out of characters as i really bad at writing. though actually i will just borrow their names and some events while my oc will just story tell like we reading her monologue. importantly my story is about my oc facing her stressful work, mental illness and breakdown, healing from unrequited love journey. that's what i plan for now. probably in the future i would abandon it as irl i busy and if i lost idea, i just byebye it huhu. oh my im so sorry for taking so much space here. just want to know your insight about this. thank you author
