I posted about this in the discord, but I should say something here, too: Sorry for the delay on the most recent update. After last week threw off my schedule, I had to move work around a bit to catch up - I can't really miss out on freelance stuff this month since my mattress has sprung a bunch of coils out of nowhere and I really need a new one to stop the continuing destruction of my back - and it ended up turning into kind of a mess where I couldn't work on the story during the proper times this week either. I wish I had more time and energy. 

I'll try to get the next part out as soon as possible. At worst, it'll be a missed week, but I hope not.

I'm sorry to hear things have been hectic! Please take all the time you need to make the story as good as it can be. I'm very excited to see the next chapter whenever it's ready, things are really heating up! I'm sorry I haven't managed to find much time to comment lately, but I have really enjoyed both of the last two chapters and been thinking about them a lot. The way Su talked about her family's reactions to her at the hospital especially really got to me. It really gets across that awful feeling throughout her story of part of her still desperately craving affection from other people even knowing that it's "fake" and she doesn't "deserve" it, and the sort of shocked "I've never seen anything like it" response also drives home the obvious absence of that kind of familial love in her previous life in a really sad way. Her editing her past to Ran to downplay her attachment to Shiko is also really sad, and I feel like I can see the pieces coming together as to the feelings of loneliness and desperation that must have driven her to do what she did, even if we still haven't quite hit the full reveal. Hamilcar and Zeno's confrontation was also very intense! I still don't quite buy Hamilcar's confession, it all seems too easy somehow, but I really felt the strength of their emotions on both sides - this story is really good at selling a strong depth of feeling even when we don't yet have a full understanding of the characters in question - and I really can't predict where it's going to go from here. It feels like it is spiraling towards a big turning point in the story where a lot of things are coming together and I'm really looking forward to seeing things play out!
