Hiii author! So it's been a year (or more than) na po, and until now, I also still don't know the answers to these questions. [Last update of Keep It Simple, Stupid from December 2024] (I'll post it here as a message na lang po since I think masyado siyang mahaba to be nasa comment section, I'm pertaining to the questions at the end of the chapter.)
As someone na I wouldn't say the same situation with Ces, but a totally different one (with also a different attitude with her), but also had been enlightened like Ces at a very young age of the “white lies that keeps things from falling apart”.

5)I understand Ces, a lot, I really do. And I hope she'll find peace. ANDDD, I understand Ces' mother too! Likeee, it must be hard. So like, since I'm not the author (I leave that to you), buttt I hope she also finds peaceee.
Most importantly, the reason why I wrote this kahit na last year wala me balak mag answer talaga kasi like I would like to know how you would turn this from that to something even more interesting. ANDDD, IT'S HARDDD! Like gets ko kung bakit matagal na walang update kasi I don't write and even if I do, I don't even know how to add to thattt! Likeee, fr, I really like your way of writing and how this story makes so much sense and all, and I can only imagine how hard it is. I so understand you author! Like fr, I hope you find peace also and find your way to write the next scenes/chapters. I can see how you have put so much thought into the topics and characters (and banters that I so enjoy the most). I really really want to know more about Ces and what she'll have next.
(Btw, I read this story about 2 or 3 years ago I guess. And it's still one of my top 10! And I've read like a lot in different genres and from different authors.)
Love lots! (I used to love coffee until I experienced the not-so-great hyperacidity, sooo, chocolates??)

4)For the parents: whether they did what they think is the best or they did what they think would keep them, no matter how a child tries to understand, if they get hurt because of the parents' neglect or wrong doings, then, it's their responsibility to explain. To enlighten the child. To make sure that they will at least share their future plans or decisions. Kasi like what confuses Ces na maybe they did that because of this or that, that's because she didn't have the warning, she didn't have the memo, and they kept them in the dark thinking it's best and they wouldn't understand it, but for the longest time, all Ces was trying to do was to figure things out by herself. It's one mistake that the father cheated, it's another that they made their children believe false narratives, and also another that they doubted their children's capability to understand and handle it (like yes, they could've waited for like years or some period of time pero no matter how young kasi, can we all just agree na as once a child, we saw and understood things a lot faster? Maybe delayed ang comprehension or pagconnect the dots, pero we all did know what was going on. We just needed someone to explain things to us and not keep us blind from things.).

3) Na no matter how angry I was, no matter how betrayed I felt, somehow I had to understand that it was not about me (at least not just about me). Not that I'm invalidating myself (or Ces atp), but it made me realize, na baka more than how I felt, more than my existence, there were things to consider too (which Ces has been doing all this time esp with her younger brother, for their family). I had to understand that every choice they made (intentional or not), there were consequences, but it just happened na me (or Ces) ay isa sa mga collateral damage.
