Hello! So I decided I should tell you a few things about this story and why I decided to write. This story was slightly personal for me.

So I read an amazing story called Matching Scars, which has the group in a mental institution. It's an incredible story, if you haven't seen it, GO READ IT! It's told from Maka's perspective and tells a great story.

I want to thank everyone who read this story, favorited it, reviewed it, and followed it. You are all amazing for contributing to this story in some capacity. I say this a lot, but it's so amazing to see how many people and the nations they are from reading a story that a teenage girl from the U.S. wrote. I've developed as a better writer for original stories (since I'm terrible at writing).

I liked the idea of Soul's perspective more than Maka's for this story because Soul is such an enigma in the anime. I thought it would be interesting to try to peak into why Soul is Soul. Even though authors 'twist' the character for the story, this seemed to hold Soul's essence. I would've loved to write it in Maka's perspective since we're very similar, but I'm like both of them and wanted to do something new.

Ok, so you probably want to know the answers to: how is this story personal to Sab? How is she like Maka & Soul?

Answer: My parents are divorced just like Maka's, but they didn't get divorced for the same reasons. I'm fine with it because I knew it was for the best. It took a long time to get done, but it's all good. :) That's why I wrote it like that when Maka's tells Soul about her past.

As I watched the anime I realized how we both like to do things on our own and don't need anyone to impress. Maka is at the top of the class, but it's not to impress her parents, friends, or teachers.

On the other hand, I'm like Soul as well. Like him, I also play the piano. My brothers get annoyed with my piano playing, just like Soul's parents. I don't know why though. I play video game music and anime music. Two things they love. Siblings are weird. ;)

I don't have mental condition that I know of, but I liked writing about them because I love psychology. It's one of those topics that appeals to me because of the intricacies and commonalities.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my little note. If you have any more questions for me, don't be afraid to message me. Check out my newest idea in the previous chapter and comment on how you like the idea and what should be incorporated. Thank you so much! :)
