*Rises from the ashes.*

I LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alrighty then I am FINALLY back with yet another chapter for the surprisingly well received Web of Hearts! This chapter might be a longer one and hopefully much lighter and sweeter in mood than the last few have been But depending on how much I can do for this one without sounding repetitive or cliche, it could also be shorter. So fair warning, cause I always write the authors note waaaaay in advance and add to them whenever I add more conent to the chapter. But it'll definitely be longer than 2.5k, I've long left those days behind for my bigger stories. But there will be one last chapter after this one, so it isn't fully finished just yet even if it seems like it here. I'm also very thankful and humored at the title suggestions for my Kimihito x Lala story I have planned for when I do end this story. When I finally decide which to use I'll be sure to give credit and thanks, but to all who have given ideas I'm still super grateful for your thoughts and input. Also if any of you are interested in another slice of life with comedy elements story by me, I've recently posted my first Kobayashi San Dragon Maid story! The title is "Goddesses need love too" if your curious about it. Also I'm working on the new chapter for it as well as some others for the rest of my stories. Hopefully by the time this starts to get reviews showing people have seen the update, I'll be halfway done with the new chspter for that one. Also I am super thankful to those of you who were patient enough to wait for this chapter. All those new to this and who have followed/Favorited, thank you so very much. It still surprises me how much people seem to like this one. Old time followers, once again I'm sorry for the wait. Well I know for sure that I've rambled on waaaay more than enough, but just had to get it out here. Here's the new chapter!! As usual drop a review and tell me what you all think!

P.s. There's another authors note at the end explaining why this took so long in more detail. Also sorry for any grammer errors, my keyboards been messing up for the past month.

"So Smith, what was the big thing we just had to have lunch first before you'd tell us?" A curious Kurusu asked of the black haired government agent sitting before him in his and Rachnee's home, sipping a cup of freshly brewed coffee since the restaurant they went to didnt make it as good as he did. Well, at least according to Smith they didn't, so he took the compliment as he could.

Shortly after she'd arrived the trio headed down a few blocks to the very restaurant they all visited once before, somewhat to Rachnera's reluctance. However with some coaxing from Kurusu and Smith telling her that the owner had been informed of the Liminal's previous experience and discomfort during said outing. The Owner himself had even come out to greet them due to Smith discreetly messaging hin that she would be arriving with a special guest who he had once hosted there. So when the man cane out and welcomed and apologized to Rachnera in particular for the inadequate service, her cautiousness had started to dwindle down to being thankful for such a treatment.

Today had proven to be a much more pleasurable lunch date on the happy couples part even if Kuroko was there watching them as a third wheel. Rachnera found a few dishes well to her liking, and Kurusu decided that he would have one of the other dishes she was torn between choosing and simply shared with her. When Kuroko had seen such affectionate behavior she damn near sqealed in joy because it meant that her task was a success. However the woman had kept her inner joy inside to a professional level, even if she did tease them a little bit. She was saving the great news for when they were all in a more private setting, so back at Kimihito's house. And that is what lead them to their current setting.

Smith finished sipping her cup before her face grew quite serious for a moment, startling both the liminal and man in the room because she hasn't made a face like that for some time. She set the mug down om the small table before pulling off her glasses and speaking. "Well to start, I know how close you two have become since I put you both in each other's care, and I'm very happy for the two of you to have found each other like that." She noted silently that they were subtly holding each others hands as they sat by one another. A small smirk wanted to rise on her face, but she wanted to save it till the really good stuff.

Smith keeps herself controlled while she continues. "Now, as of late the bill regarding the Interspecies Exchange has been getting alot more attention lately, and not just by political figures but also the public itself as the major voice. The program has grown because of huge success, and since more people are keeping tabs on it the debate among certain issues has risen again. In other words, there's going to be some major changes happening, some of them quite soon."

She paused as she caught her breathe but Kurusu politely interrupted. "And I take it that's what you came here to tell us? How it might change our lifestyle?" He guessed with a raised brow and he thought he saw Smith gave a brief smirk before she nodded. "That's right Kurusu. One of the main topics being discussed is ah, well You two in particular."

"Us?"

They asked in unison and surprise when Smith then nodded her head with a mild smile on her face. At this revelation Rachnera and Kurusu's eyes widened as their thoughts began to mirror one another's. 'How do we fit into all this? Have that many people been observing us? I know it's for the sake of the program but that's a little unsettling to know theres so many people who know about our relationship. But if they know and haven't stopped us, that must mean its okay, right?' He thought as Rachnera then though a bit more critically.

'She's never this open about what she actually does with her job, but this is the sort of thing I'd expect of humans. All secrets and hush hush is what they're so good at, then again so am I. But Smith is different from the rest of them, just like my Honey. She actually seems to care about us enough, I trust her almost as much as I do Honey, but not as strongly.

Smith then continued. "You see it's a large part of my job to report how you two are interacting, whether or not the both of you adhere to the guidlines of the program, and generally if your happy living with each other. So every week I usually send in a report detailing what I've seen, and my Superiors along with some of the co-founders of the Bill itself have deemed what I've been observing to be the desired effect of this entire program. In other words, you two have been one of the most instrumental parts in the creation of one of the Bill's amendments. One of these more recent amendments...is for two people of different species to legally be married so long as both parties agree to do so."

Marriage.

Marriage.

Marriage.

The word was still sinking in when Kurusu was the first to ask Smith. "Can...can you repeat that Iast part...did you say that We... We can get married?" Rachnera was still wide eyed at the government agent as she watched with all six of her ruby reds trained on the woman's mouth even if they were only an arms length away. No, that's too convenient, too perfect. But she wouldnt be kimying about something like this. But she must be sure. SHE MUST BE SURE-

"I said that you two can legally get married if you both agree to it, and there's nothing anyone would be able to change about it. Even if they tried to change it, which I highly doubt would work since we've been seeing many secretive Liminal and Human couples, it would already be a pre-existing and permanent amendment and legally binding. So yes, I'm saying that you two can get married." Smith finished with a smile growing bigger on her face.

Silence and surprise, that's all the happy couple could feel in themselves at the moment. Rachnera recalled her thoughts from yesterday on their little stroll in the park. Thinking about a time that would come in the future that would allow them to fully be together with no fear of repercussion by the Program and in association The Law itself. She'd been upset that she and Kurusu felt so restrained even when they tip-toed the line from time to time. But now Ms. Smith was sitting here before them telling that there was a chance for no more restrictions on their relationship. And for that solution to be something as wonderful and Bonding as marriage, she was feeling a sense of being overloaded with sheer happiness.

Kurusu was feeling more or less the same, but he was also feeling a sense of fear for the first time since meeting Rachnee. Not fear of commitment, no he was more than ready to swear himself to her. Even if marriage was a normally huge thing to consider for someone his age, he's not like most others. He is responsible with how he lives, he keeps his home clean, takes great care of his girlfriend, and he is quite kind in nature to nearly everyone. Being ledt to his own vices for a decent portion of his life heloed mature him more than others his age. His fear wasn't of cold feet, it was a fear of not being good enough.

He knows Rachnera would deny it immediately because she s been so thankful for him being there for her, but he has been feeling a sense of needing to be more for her. After all once they do get married, not If, then thay means they could...go further in that way. And say that eventually one day she were to want children with him, would his current living situation be enough to support her and a child? After all, he just works part-time in a doujin shop. The program took care of housing and renovation of their home, but other than that he lived a pretty noderate lifestyle. He didnt have a car, even tbough he could drive pretty good, because he couldnt afford car payments if he tried.

Now he was really feeling a sense of inadequacy. He may not know of any vehicle aside from a van of sorts that could hold the Arachne comfortably, but the fact that he wouldn't even be able to afford one made him feel some shame. Kurusu enjoyed their walks to stretch her legs, he also knew she liked to stay at home too. And he was fine with that, just the fact that he couldn't if they wanted to bothered him. Hell he had to ask Smith last time if she could provide transportation to the outing at the beach-

"Kurusu"

"Huh?" He was brought from his inner thoughts when he heard Smith saying his name, and got his bearings back. He glanced to the side and saw Rachnera had a waiting face next to him. "Well Honey?" she said, waiting for an answer. Apparently he must've been asked a question and gotten lost in thought that he didnt hear it. He chose to play it off by saying "Sorry, got distracted there. Can you ask again?" while looking a little sheepishly toward Rachnera, who smiled while shaking her head a little in amuesment.

"What am I going to do with you Honey...no, thats not what I meant. That's private." She began to say before she stopped herself, her cheeks a bit red and Kurusu himself felt his own cheeks heat up some. Rachnera coughed and composed herself before looking him right in the face. "I said what do you think Kimihito? About us getting married?" She asked with excitement in all six of her ruby eyes, and Kurusu couldnt help but love how happy she looked at the prospect. He already knew his answer, but he also wants to make sure she knows her own. He gave a soft smile as he answered her finally.

"I'd want nothing more than being with you Rachnee, but if we could smith, could we talk privately?" He then asked as he faced the government agent who wore a brief look of surprise on her face. "Hm, fine. Just call for me when your ready." Smith said as she quickly understood and nodded, rising to walk towards the hallway to give them whatever privacy he was wanting. Once Kurusu was sure she was far enough he returned his gaze to Rachnera's, who held one of her eyebrows up in questioning. "What was that about?" She asked and he took a deep breathe before responding.

"I just, wanted to talk to just you first about this. This is a huge thing, and I am more than willing to go through with it, but I wanted to make sure that your ready for this. I didn't want to assume anything and put you on the spot. I-" He said but was interrupted when she put one of her sharp fingers to his lips with ever careful grace, effectively silencing him from rambling. Now She was the one who looked serious towards him.

"Honey, listen very carefully. I'm still not fully sure about whatever I might've said last night after I drank that coffee, but I'm sure you heard about how I trult feel about you Kurusu. I will never be as sure as I am right now. I want to marry you Kimihito Kurusu, because I Love You." She whispered the very last part as she cupped his face with both of her hands and drew him to her face, kissing him deeply full on the lips.

Surprise was the weakest term to use for how Kurusu felt at the moment, but his mind wasn't trying to make sense of what was happening to him st the moment except for one thing. She was kissing him, they got to actually got to go through with what they attempted to share before Smith arrived unexpectedly earlier. He relaxed from his worries for the moment and chose to just enjoy the sensation of warmth flooding through his heart and body right now. His arms slowly wound their way around her generous form as her own hands began to encircle his head, keeping him from pulling away from her.

At the moment it felt as if they were completely alone in the world, nothing existing but them. Not Smith waiting in the hallway by the door, not the exchange prograns rules and new amendment. Even when said amendment would be the saving grace for the act happening at the moment. But not everything could last forever, although the amendment would.

The passionate pair held their kiss for another minute before they both had to pull away for air, and both also had red cheeks upon their faces. Kurusu was still looking at Rachnera with a small look of surprise, but the rest of him radiated that sense of happiness that partially attracted her to him. Her face was nearly ready to burst with more embarrassment as she too processed what they had just done, even when she was the one to initiate it.

Neither of them said a word as they stared at one another, but the looks they gave each other spoke volumes of their relationship. There would be no hesitation, no second thoughts, because it was just meant to be. She had been a hurt individual always trying to be careful even when she acted as if she had not a care in the world. He was the one to give her kindness after she was cast away from her first host family, and it was that kindness he showed which drew her to him when he readied himself to give her a chance to escape from MON. Kurusu was the first to break it.

"Rachnera, there's s-something I want, need to discuss with you, before we call Smith back in here." He said with an unusually serious and hesitant? voice, that caught her attention quickly. She understood what he wanted to talk about was important, or maybe even a secret as she nodded and listened raptly. "Go on Honey." She encouraged as she waited with curiosity about whatever he was about to tell her. He nodded and faced the table before swallowing some saliva that had built up in his mouth, clearing his throat and mouth in the process.

"Alright, well I know that we're both excited about getting married and all, but I think we should have a talk about something that might come of it later on. Do you understand?" He asked as he looked her full in the eye and she thought about it for a second before she realizes hes talking about having children. After all with there being no activities held back they were sure as hell gonna be spending some quality time with one another on a different level than what they've been getting by with without stepping over the line in the law's eyes. And sometimes those... activities lead to certain things, offspring being the main result. Finally she nodded and replied with a neutral voice, trying to feel out his stance on it.

She was more than fine facing the possiblity of being a mother one day, even if it didn't seem as if it would come anytime soon. There were methods and steps they could take to control when such a thing woukd occur, although Rachnera's methods were probably different and definitely more lewd than any that Her Honey might be thinking of at the moment. Certain positions and sexual acts would certainly ensure low possibility of her getting pregnant early, but all it would tske is one time. Fate was funny like that, it could change on a whim and sometimes it would never be changed from taking a certain path. That was life, and a small part of her mind wanders if the horrible things she went through were meant to be so that she could reach where she was now.

But as long as she was with the man she loves, and bearing only his children, then she had nothing to fear. She knows Kurusu would make a great father to whatever children they have, just as he will a wonderful husband to her in the soon to be future. And she hopes that he knows that about himself as well. She focused her mind as be accepted Her answer and continues.

"I know that I'm not exactly an ideal provider since I only have a small time job, but I would do everything I can think of to provide for any family that we create together. I know I don't have a van or something to drive anyone around in, and I hate to make you walk all over the place even if we have fun just enjoying the peace of it. And if we ever have more than one child, we would have to get a bigger place because this one isnt big enough for a full on family. I just... I want to be able to do those things for you, and our kids, if we ever have any. I want to be worthy Rachnera. And right now I dont feel that way because I can't do any of those things right now." He finished dejectedly, and hung his head a bit, unable to look her in the eyes as he basically just demeaned himself for his lack of ability.

Rachnera watched his confession of sorts with a neutral face at first, whuch had then gotten surprised and then grown sad for seeing her boyfriend like this. He didn't deserve to feel like that, just like he told her she shouldn't feel and sort of fear of hurting him back at the beach. She began to lean forward until she was nearly face to face before she brough his head to lay on her chest, his body twisting a bit as she forced to him to take a different position. The Arachne began to lightly stroke his head when she spoke.

"Honey, sometimes I think you worry too much about how things are with me. You do the best you can and go way beyond what other people would do, and I do love that about you, but I don't want you to overwork yourself worrying me, I want us to be happy together. You have to be able to relax, and enjoy what we have. Besides, I might have a possible solution to at least one of those things your anxious about. So please, relax. Alright?" She asked and he looked up into her six eyes, all of them filled with a soft, almost motherly sort of tenderness. Seeing it put him more at ease, even if he still held some of those fears further back in his head. He sighed and slowly nodded his head, unable to stay in such a mood with her trying to help him. It reminded him of their latest trip to the beach where she had her own moment of emotional turmoil thinking of him.

"You're right Rachnee, things aren't guaranteed to turn out bad. And even if they do, things can always get better. I should be more focused on enjoying my time with you instead of possibly making You worry over me instead. I... I'll try to not over think things. For You." Kurusu then said with more confidence in his voice than before, and Rachnera found herself smiling down at him as her nood then rose.

Dragging a sharp finger carefully around his jawline, she spoke softly into his right ear "That's my Honey. Thank you, for everything." she said before kissing his forehead from above. Kurusu leaned into it as he played with a few strands of her purplish hair before saying "I think it's about time we called Smith back in, and let her know our answer." She reluctantly pulled back and gave a small chuckle.

"Guess you're right, not like we can go to that level with her in the house. Although We could always ask her to join in on the fun if you'd like." She teased and laughed more when his face went beet red and he couldn't form a coherent response. "Just teasing Honey, you know me." She clarified and Kimihito gave a small chuckle of his own whike shajing his head at her antics.

"Of course I do, but since we're on the subject..." he trained off before quickly moving right next to her ear, almost startling her and finishing "As nice as Smith is, You're the only one for me." before pecking her on the cheek. Rachnera found herself gasping but amused that he would tease her in such a way, one she has definitely used on him a few times.

'Oh once we're married, I'm locking us in a room with my webs on the door and windows, and neither of us will be leaving for a full week. He's going to feel all of my techniques!!!' She thought lewdly before coughing to clear ber throat and compose herself in front of him, not letting him know in the least what fun they were going to get into on their wedding night. "Well then, lets bring ber back in. It's time to tell her."

Kurusu nodded and stood up to peek his head into tbe hallway, seeing smith discreetly trying to text someone on her phone. He called out to her "Hey Smith, we're ready now." Said woman jumped about an inch before casually sliding her work phone back into her jackets pocket.

She had just gotten finished with relaying her progress to her superiors regarding the status of the happy couple, and knew she had them hooked and sunk with the marriage proposal amendment. So him coming out here for her must mean they've decided to accept, Score for Smith!!!

She allowed herself to show a brief smile and followed him back into the room, seeing Rachnera sitting happily and in thought, most likely envisioning the wedding they are going to have. In a way Smith envied her, being able to have a fairy tale esque ending with one another. Smith herself was alone, but she was fine with it since it allowed her to work with more Liminals and intergrate them into this changing society around them.

Yes, even when she slacked off Kuroko still thought about her job. Interspecies relations and even couples was something she was passionate about and did take seriously, but she did dislike all the paperwork and not exactly great pay she receives while doing so. Still, it was moments like she had experienced with these two that made it seem worth it to her. Plus with the success she's had so far with Kurusu and Rachnera, she might even be open to a promotion for causing the first Human and Liminal couple and marriage. Well, she urged and set the path, they just took it. And Rachnera technically started it all when she decided to kidnap him, but such trivial details didn't matter right now to her.

She sat across from the spider woman and her human companion and asked the question in the best fashion possible. Outright. "So, are you two gonna tie the knot or what?" Maybe it was the bold way she had just said it, but Smith wanted to chuckle when she saw the two of them blushing as if they were nervous highschool time crushes when they've been living together for almost two months now. Neither one of them went first until Kurusu Finally spoke up, at first with some hesitation but gradually he gained more confidence.

"Y-yes, Smith we, uh, We've... Ahem, We've decided to get married. There's no changing my mind, and I'm positive Rachnera feels the same way." He said with a firm smile on his face and turned to see Rachnera smiling as well and nod to Smith. To them is seemed like Smith had expected their answer all along, but with good reason. After all she was the one who told them without doing so how to bend and play the rules.

What they weren't expecting was Smith's reaction to their decision.

"YESSSSSS!!!!! Finally!!!!" She damn near shouted to the heavens above much to the surprise of tbe house's inhabitants. After she got iver her little victory outburst she had a very giddy look on her face and began to message someone on her phone rapidly. Was she really this excited for them? Neither Kurusu or Rachnera had reacted like this, well Rachnera kept her joy inisde when she first heard the news. Kurusu had been surprised for sure, but he wasn't an overly loud person to begin with. Once she calmed down Kurusu attempted to bring some humor to the situation.

"Soooo I take it your happy?" He asked and Smith nodded as she put away her phone. "Very, I've been waiting for this amendment to go through all the processing, its been like having your eyebrows waxed. The worst part is the waiting, and most of the time you just want to shout "Do it already!". So yes, I'm not onlt excited thst this is becoming a reality but that it's also going to start with you two. I didnt say this specifically earlier, but you two are the first being asked." She elaborated.

"Well, arent we special? Which brings up something I want to discuss with you." Rachnera joked before she looked at Kuroko with some seriousness. Smith raised an eyebrow in curiosity, Kurusu too was wondering what she was talking about. "Go on. I'm listening." Rachnera obliged and began to speak in a tone that reminded them both of the night Kurusu had been abducted by the Arachne. In other words, she was hinting something as part of an angle.

"Well as you know since certain prohibited activities will no longer be in effect and there's sometimes certain results because of those activities, do you think there would be any sort of contribution on the programs part? After all if Honey and I become parents, would the progran still be watching over us and and our... um... children?" She finished with some nervous thought because she never thought of having kids before. So attempting to be seriously thinking of them now, even to try and see how Smith would react actually threw Herself off.

Smith stared at the spider woman for a solid five seconds before she deadpanned "You know you can just ask things right? Hou don't akways have to come off mysterious or teasing. Just say you guys need help or something, that's what youre getting at right?" Rachnera shrugged but nodded because Smith had hit right on the mark, even if it wasn't in the way she wanted. Still, she gave kudos to Kuroko for being smart enough to see it.

"That's right. You see Honey here brought up something that had been bothering him, something that came to a boil when you brought up marriage. After all He's been single and alone most of his life, from what he told me. So he's now thats he's about to legally share his life with me, and if we were to have kids, he would have a few drastic changes in lifestyle. Housing is already covered by the program, but He feels as if he has to do more, despite what I've told him. So, I figured that maybe if you had any positions available as a coordinator, or even working for you personally if there was something he could take a chance with." She finished and Kurusu felt sheepish at her asking something like that on his behalf, but he was actually shocked that he hadn't thought of that idea before.

'That's a great idea, why didn't I think of that sort or work? I'm great with people, or st lesst it seems that way. I could work with Liminals all day, I'm not the sort to discriminate someone for their bodies or anything. And I'd make sure they were properly being taken care of...holy shit Rachnee your a genuis!!!!' He realized with his eyes going wide as he thought about it more and more. He had to ask Smith, at least show some initiative so he could get her favor on his side.

"Do you have anything available in the program Smith? I mean I'd be happy to help out, i could do thst kind of work. And I'd have the fact that I'm a host helping me, right?" He asked and Kuroko tilted her head to the side in thought, and looking him over. He hoped it was in the professiomal sense snd not the other, cause Kurusu doubts Rachnera would allow him anywhere near Smith without her if the agent saw him in that way.

"Wellllll I suppose I could do some asking around, but I do know that there is a need for people who have become new hosts. After all I'm overseeing nearly a dozen exchangees right now including you. You could say I'm overworked, and would welcome any sort of help that could lighten my workload." Smith said casually, but to them it was clesr as day that He had a chance at getting a job in the program. And he was very happy to know that, so he was going to make it known.

"Thank you Smith, for everything. My house, meeting Rachnera and helping us out, the trip to the beach, and this... just thank you." He said gratefully to the agent and Kuroko found herself feeling warm inside.

She loved helping others, and seeing that look of praise on his face for her made her feel good. It was a good and bad thing Rachnera was with him, if he would've been single then she might've made a move, but then maybe He and Rachnera wouldn't have been so successful as a test case for the program's amendment. It would have still been going through debate with little if any evidence to support that such a thing could be legitimate. So good and bad to her, but the good far outweighed the bad in her book any day.

But Kuroko took a glace at a nearby clock and saw that she had other appointments to keep, and her other charges to check up on. Who knows, maybe she would find another situation like the one before her now. With some reluctance in her voice, Smith revealed her departure to the pair who were very happy with the news she's delivered to them today. "Well seems like it's time for me to be off, I do have other responsibilities to see to today. Think on what we've discussed you twoz because either tomorrow or the day after I'll be arriving with a higher up to go over the formalities and what not. But there still can be a wedding, which I'd be happy tonhelp you plan out if I ever get some time off near the date you two decide. Or it can be a simple civil one without all the fuss, your guy's choice." She stood up and walked to the door, with Rachnera and Kurusu standing behind her to see her out properly. Before she left the doorway, she gave them both a warm smioe and tokd them with genuine kindness "Have fun planning out the rest of your lives together, I'll see you soon." And she left the threshold waving to them.

"Dont worry Kuroko..." Rachnera said as she pulled Kurusu's hand into her own, taking her usual care to ensure she doesn't hurt him with her sharpness. Kimihito finds himself completely at ease in her soft grip, even if what he held was a chittonous armor that could easily slice his hand up like a garbage disposal. But he held not an ounce of fear, because he knew she could never hurt him willingly. He leaned his head on her shoulder and she leaned her head on top of his when he finished her words.

"We will."

Authors note 2.

I bit off a little more than I can chew at the moment, but believe me I'm gonna chew until I'm finished and keep on going. Not only do I have my first and main SnK/AoT story Wings Of A Warrior to write for, I have another SnK one (Awakening), and this one which is harder to do than the rest because its almost fully au with manga elements. I have a Tokyo Ghoul story that's just getting fired up (One Rung Up The Food Chain), and I've recently just started a small story into the Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid series which I loved called Goddesses Need Love Too if y'all are interested. And that brings me to the second minor part of my absence.

As soon as I posted the last story I got two very hateful reviews from an anonymous guest whom I've grown a hatred for. Now while that ain't gonna stop me from writing it just pissed me right the hell off that I received those hateful remarks. And I know it's also the same person who leaves similar reviews to other stories like mine in the franchise just because most likely their a sad pathetic person who should learn to chill the fuck out and leave people alone just because their stuff isn't what you want. So I'm gonna keep on writing for ALL my stories, and I will never stop. Even if a story gets no updates for a long time, keep faith because it probably means I'm working on another story that needs some chapters. So rest assured I will keep writing for my stories no matter how long the delays.

I know this one will sound a bit silly, but also part of my absence is I've been watching many Anime series I never actually got to finish. And some of the endings kinda messed me up, either mental mind fucks (Neon Genesis Evangelion and End of Evangelion ESPECIALLY.) to Future Diary messing with my feels for the ending, even with Redial Ova making things sweeter. Also Deadman Wonderland, the ending was weak but overall I enjoyed it alot. Probably will read the Manga for that later on. Also have gotten into Overlord and LOVE it. Attack on Titan S3 has also been out and I'm excited that the current arc is coming to a close and one of my favorite ones is soon to be animated. Also My Hero Academia has been getting more intense and I always watch that on Saturdays after Cells at Work! which has been such a fun series and I'm sad that it's coming to a close soon. Also I've been watching Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and absolutely LOVE it, and have finally after hundreds of memes decided to get into JOJO'S. I regret nothing except having little time to write at times. So forgive me, I watch tons of anime and read waaaay more fanfiction. Anyone who's seen my profile or reviews on dozens of stories can attest to that lol. Some of you hopefully understand that one.

Final note, after some persuasion from a great friend and fellow writer, I've thought of also putting my stories on Archive Of Our Own, where my account has the same name as this one. I've already had success putting the first two chapters of my Tokyo Ghoul story on there, so slowly but surely I will be putting the rest of my stories on there as well including a possible remaster and updated version of this one. Also I've gotten Tumblr back where I'll also announce updates, same name as on here. It honestly makes some things easier to just use it for as long as I have. If any of you think or would like to see this story as well as my other works on there, just rell me in your reviews or a PM to me. I always respond to them, usually pretty damn fast.
