Hello everyone,

I'm sorry to have to report that the time and energy I have for writing have taken a massive hit over the past month, and the promised second segment for June rolled over into July's writing, which has also lagged behind schedule.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Work has been piling up, so I need to take some time off to settle that aspect of my life first. I'll be returning to this story hopefully some time in late August or early September.

Thank you for your patience.
