Dear readers,

  I’m sorry, but there won’t be a chapter today. After a 10-hour school day, my headache got the best of me. I tried to sleep it off, but I woke up too late to do the final edits.

  The chapter is finished—just not publish-ready in my opinion. That’s on me; I should’ve planned better. I’ll make sure to post it tomorrow or Wednesday.

  This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

  See you very soon (Tuesday or Wednesday)!

  — N.N.

  Oh—and for those who’ve read everything so far, here’s a little glimpse into what’s coming next. Some lines from the upcoming chapters:

  ~“And the Western world was cruel to everything they didn’t deem as normal.”

  ~“After all, the greater the light, the bigger the shadow.”

  ~“No reaction is the best reaction.”

  ~ “Alive, I am alive.”
