Back Again, Ten Chapters Tomorrow

It had been a month—did you all miss me?

The days I spent at home with my child really stripped away all the dust from my heart, leaving my whole person clear and transparent. Now that I was back on duty, it was time to get back into the rhythm of updates.

I'd said I would update whenever inspiration struck, and I had indeed written bits and pieces in the meantime. But this stretch of the plot had already focused on the end of this arc, and releasing it in scattered fragments would leave things neither up nor down—far too uncomfortable. I'd write a bit more, then save up ten chapters to release together tomorrow, as an early New Year's greeting for everyone~~
