Hey, I wanted to apologize for how this came across. I genuinely really like your story and it inspired me a lot—that’s what made me want to write something in a similar vibe. I wasn’t trying to copy your work or take anything from it, just wanted to create my own version of a similar idea. I understand why it felt too close and why that would be upsetting, and I’m really sorry for that. That was never my intention. I do really respect your work.
