I owe you an explanation—and an apology.
The thirteen chapters I promised were real. They were written. And they're gone.
Through a mix of technical failure and bad timing, those chapters were destroyed beyond recovery. I won't pretend that didn't hit hard—because it did. Rebuilding them meant starting again from fragments, memory, and stubborn refusal to let the story die.
I know this is disappointing. You trusted me with your time and your patience, and I understand how frustrating delays can be. I'm sorry for that. Truly.
What I can promise is this: I am rewriting those chapters carefully, not rushing them, not hollowing them out just to post faster. This story matters to me, and I want it to reach you the way it deserves to—whole, sharp, and alive.
Thank you for staying. Thank you for waiting. And thank you for believing the story is worth it.
I'm still here.
I'm still writing.
Please be patient with me just a little longer.
