Ironically, I actually managed to write chapter 3 to near completion in a single afternoon--- like more than halfway done. Sadly, I'm still unable to finish it, and neither can I promise to publish it in the following weeks. There's more to write in it, but I can't find time to do so since my schedule for this whole month is suddenly so packed (yes, even if February has only started...). I plan to postpone all activity on this account, and I hope to see you all again in March!
P.s. Chapter 3 might actually be the longest chapter I've written so far.
