Hello everyone!

Firstly, I hate writing these. They make me feel like an incompetent, lazy writer, given that I just went through a 5-6 month period of hiatus without any sign of life. And to those who enjoy and follow this story, my deepest apologies. What exactly happened during that time will be specified below:

Essentially, I managed to neglect my way into a bad situation with my grades in school. While I do admit that my introduction to high school did play a small but considerable part in it, my own irresponsibility and carelessness managed to put me at risk of failing the school year. Of course, my grades were atrocious only at Maths and Physics, but these subjects carry more than enough weight to result in failure should I not get these respective grades back up. Needless to say, that left me anxious and caused turmoil between me and my parents - nothing serious, I'll assure you - , so my inspiration completely died. I often tried to put some work on Chapter 4 (Which I'm currently re-working), but I had to go full focus on studying to avoid wasting an entire year. Resuming all that, I was in a rough spot.

Regardless, I am sorry for this long period of silence. Sadly, I cannot promise you anything, but recently, a string of good events (Having passed the year with decent grades after deciding to quit my slothful ways, seeing my friends quite a lot during my vacations, knowing that people still favourite and follow the story despite the lack of updates) got my spirits back up. I'll put some more work into Chapter 4, and with enough luck, may even release a one-shot idea I've had in the back of my mind for a while now.

Once again, my apologies for the overall absent wreck I've been for a long while. I hope you can all understand, though I'd comprehend if not. Regardless, I'm looking forward to see you all on next chapter!

Till next time,
