Dear Past Readers, Present Readers, and Future Readers of whoever excavates the archives of this fandom to find this story,

Hi! I guess anyone who still remembers me from waaaaaay back then are probably all gone now, so I'll need to explain everything. I am of course, the author of this fanfiction who promised to finish it but never did. Believe me, I really wanted to finish this but a lot of stuff happened – I actually had the next chapter all written out and I passed it to my friend to type it out for me but she never got back to me and we're not in contact anymore. The notebook that I wrote it all down in is forever lost with her, and around the same time, I lost the will to write in general. Like, not just for this story but for writing in general. Stuff happened. Life happened.

It's been years since I first published this – I've grown older, changed my views, and I no longer condone or care about this sort of fetish plot. I mean, I literally have the word 'rape' in the summary! Jesus Christ, 14 year old Polas! But despite all this, I truly cared about this story. It made me so happy and it was super fun to write. I remember laughing as I wrote back then. I'd give anything to have that sort of feeling again.

It's because I truly care that I want to give this story closure. I had the ending planned out and I still remember the general gist of it, so I just wanna lay it all out for whoever cares to read this. The ending was supposed to be, after they all escaped, blah blah blah, they were gonna ambush Iemitsu and his gang in a place and then force them to participate in a trial a la The Case of The Three Students (Sherlock Holmes). There was going to be some angst, some whining, some stupid jokes, but in the middle of it all Giotto would have a tragic accident and Tsuna nurses him and he sort of comes around to the fact that they both need closure. The final chapter would end with Giotto waking up from his coma with memory loss and Tsuna reintroducing himself.

So yeah. It was a pretty silly plotline.

I think that's about all I have to say. This story has come to an end and I hope if someone from back then is reading this, thank you for sticking with me all this time.

See you when I see you!
