Author's Note:
Good day, readers. The previous chapter, this one, and the upcoming chapters are all being rewritten. I wasn't satisfied with how they turned out, and I felt that continuing as they were might ruin the story. As a result, I had to take some time to replan. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you enjoy reading!

PS: All the chapters needed to be rewritten have been edited.
