ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:

Heartfelt thanks to my consultant and sole alpha reader, 丸! They provided very valuable feedback and information about Japanese language, culture, and tradition. They were also responsible for the translation of all Japanese texts in the story. Without them, this story would've been much less accurate and rich language- and culture-wise. Thanks again, 丸!

I also thank you, the reader! Thank you for reading this story and devoting your time for that. I appreciate it deeply, given how laser-fast and info-overloaded daily life is in current times. I hope you found the story entertaining, arousing, and intriguing – perhaps in equal measure.

Have a wonderful day!

OTHER TRIVIA?

Well, this was supposed to be a Misc section with some ramblings thoughts, but I decided not to waste words on half-coherent musings.

If you have any questions about anything, or just want to say hi, I'm around! I don't use social networks, so the best way to contact me for now is to shoot me a personal message.

Cheers!
