I was originally going to announce my return with a new chapter, but I figured it's been a really long time, and the sooner the better.

As for the reason for my absence... well, let's attribute it to a certain virus. I was particularly unlucky, though certainly not hit with the worst-case scenario. But ah, I shan't ponder upon it any further!

What's important is that I'm back! And, hmmm... I don't know how my writing has evolved throughout this period of no posting, but I suppose there's only one way to find out!

My sincerest apologies for this long, long hiatus. Rest assured, I am back in full force as of this moment!
