So, I'm honestly not in a great condition right now. Some developments on the job front have caused my depression to flare up and I'm back to having suicidal thoughts. A week ago, I was close to deleting this story and wiping my google drive. Then my uncle passed away and while my family hasn't been close to the rest for the last few years, it's caused some of the rest of the family to try to reach out to us again, which has created other emotional issues in the house. Especially after how they treated us five years ago after a different death in the family.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

Well, it hasn't been total doom and gloom over the last two weeks. My sister just gave birth to her first child.

Anyway, my emotional state has just not been conducive to writing at all. I'm trying to struggle my way through the next chapter, but I can't make any promises right now.
