Hello, I hope you're all doing well.

I mentioned it in the last chapter's author's note, but I've been very sick for the past few days. I'd hoped it would get better by today, but that's unfortunately not the case. Because of this, I've barely been able to write, and anything I do manage to produce has been pretty incoherent and messy.

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

Because of this, there won't be any new chapters until this sickness passes. I usually don't get ill (the last time was over five years ago), and I'm hopeful I'll be better by the end of the week maximum. Maybe I'll even wake up tomorrow and feel great. But in the interest of transparency, I just wanted to warn you all in case this sickness does end up lasting longer, and so that you're not left in the dark about why there are no new chapters.

I'm sorry for the abrupt notice, and thank you for your understanding!
