Hello, my dearest Stars!ᯓ★
How have you been shining lately? I hope that wherever you are in the universe, the storms have been kind, the nights gentle, and your hearts wrapped in a little warmth.
I imagine whispers have fluttered through the galaxies,
“When will the next update come, author-nim?”
“What became of Mars? Why has the sky been so still?”
First and foremost, I want to extend my sincerest apologies for the delay. I know so many of you have been waiting patiently to see what becomes of our beloved story and its constellation of souls. Life, it seems, has a remarkable way of tossing meteors into one’s orbit when least expected. Between work and certain life-altering changes that demanded my full attention, your author-nim found herself navigating a rather unexpected chapter. And to make things a touch more cosmic, your planet Mars caught a cold that eventually turned into a rather stubborn fever.
Even celestial bodies, it seems, must rest.
But fear not, my luminous ones! I have been resting, healing, and most importantly, writing. Even as I drifted in and out of fever dreams, I kept the story close, weaving its next threads whenever I could steal a moment from time’s demanding hands. I truly apologize for not informing you sooner; believe me when I say I tried, but the hours have been far less generous than I wished. +++
