gang i'm back... i'm so sorry for ghosting yall... honestly i don't wanna make excuses but i do in fact have an excuse... i told myself id take a nice long hiatus in between the interlude chapters and part two but i got too excited and didn't, and then burnout and writers block hit me like a truck after a few chapters... so i dipped without any notice im so sorry i fully wasn't even intending to do that but im back now! my motivation and interest in this story has (kinda) returned, and i think i'll resume writing it after a bit more mulling over the plot and the direction i want to go with this. thank you to everyone whose stuck around this long! i love you all. i swear ill be back with a new chapter (probably?) soon!
