Author note 14.06.2024: hello dearies, sorry for the long wait. I had a long pause because I had to rewrite the plot on my side - it was very messy and I had many mental breakdowns along the way but i think i got it sorted out now TT v TT sorry, I'm very slow and dumb.
Anw, I have rewritten parts of chapters: 4.7, 4.8 and 4.9. This author begs the reader to give them a quick reread as there will be new info sprinkled within.
Due to major rewrites in the plot itself, I will have to start writing the next scenario from scratch and it will take me time. So sorry T v T
