So. He's back at last. How about that? I know a lot of people have been curious as to his status, and to prevent him from having to spend too much of his writing time on a return note rather than the next chapter, I, Ignis, have decided to write something for him.

Ronin, the man, the myth, the legend, made it through most of BMT(Basic Military Training) before, prior to "Beast Week," it was discovered that he is suffering from *degenerative myositis* in his *flexor digitorum brevis*(unless my medical knowledge is off). Basically, one of the muscles in the bottom of his feet have turned into swiss cheese. Due to that, he spent an extended amount of time in med hold, and just recently got back.

This does, however, disqualify him from being in the Air Force, which really, really sucks. So please, do not harass him for the long absence, he's just had a career ruined. Even I'm (trying) to cut back on the harassment. So if you want to show your support, or ask further questions, join us in the discord. The join code is in Ronin's Bio. It's a fun place, you can chat, shit-post, cause me pain, play Valorant with me, or watch as I do my damndest to make Ronin change the Chapter 47 cumshot volume back to 5 oz.

The new chapter is already in the works, but Ronin is still a bit frazzled. It'll be out soon, but for now, I have pushed him to publish this update. I think I speak for him when I say thank you for all the support on this story. We're back at it, and plan to be working together for years to come.

Yes. As Ignis has so eloquently put it, I'm back. Can't necessarily say I'm better than ever, but I'm at least free of the clutches of BMT. I know it took quite a bit longer to get out than initially planned, but… well, I'm afraid the Air Force is rather keen on holding onto people for as long as possible.

As Ignis stated, the best way to keep in touch is my Discord server. If you want to ask me about my experiences or just get an update on the story, that is the best place to go.

I'm back to the grind in writing, along with trying to get my whole life together, so I can't promise an exact update time, but I'd keep it within the realm of two weeks. That seems a generous amount to give myself so I don't immediately come back in and start burning out.

It's good to be back, guys. But as always, this is Ronin signing off.
