Hey everyone. Thank you for your patience, and I'm sorry it's been so long. Sometimes, everything that can go wrong does, and then life finds more things to go wrong just for kicks and giggles. That's been what's going on the past month in my personal life, making it hard to focus on writing or even produce good content. Things have sort of settled, but I'll be starting a new medicine regiment soon so who knows. The last one started off not great and then went pretty bad. We'll see how this new one goes.

As for why 10 days or less, I'm forcing myself to put out a new chapter even if it doesn't meet my standards. Hopefully, getting back into the groove will help me with my mental state, but I've been very nervous about continuing. I want to continue putting out the best possible content, but I think I need to learn to let go a little. I end up worrying a lot about small details, hashing them over in my head for too long before putting them in anyway. Learning to trust my instincts is tough for me, but as I write more, I think it will get easier.

Thank you again for waiting so long, and I hope to see you soon. Until then, stay safe and stay healthy!

(This chapter will self-destruct after new chapter is posted.)

...Oh, and I have a surprise coming soon to hopefully make up for the wait!
