Hivemind(ed) Summary & Belated Happy New Year! (Patreon)

Hey everyone, sorry for the silence, this Christmas period hasn't been a great one. I've needed to take a step back whilst also working on everything. Now there's a contradiction for you...Not going to sugar-coat it, this part of HiveMind(ed) I have absolutely despised. I've had to write and rewrite to make sure that I didn't present work that'd easily be considered a spoiler for the plot. Even now I'm uncertain as to whether I have divulged too much or perhaps too little.This should satisfy a majority of questions for now. I can't make things any clearer until the plot dictates. Just know that 'Queening Ceremony' is bad for the MC, I guess. :/Next work that I do I'm leaving the mystery out and just delivering a much simpler concept that integrates into a story more smoothly.Now it's getting the last of the characters for the college arc done. I hope you all enjoyed a good holiday season, I'll be catching up on messages Monday.
