I sat before the computer this entire afternoon and evening, typing and deleting, deleting and typing, yet I remained profoundly unsatisfied.

This feeling—the sensation of lovers reuniting—is proving impossible to capture.

I penned a line of dialogue, deleted it; then drafted a passage of narration, only to erase that as well... I am quite torn.

I will be working overtime tonight, or perhaps this chapter won't be posted until deep into the morning hours past midnight...

I am striving, truly I am! But... my brothers and sisters, please do not wait up for me...

If I cannot finish it, I will rest now and make up for it with four extra chapters tomorrow; if I do manage to complete it... it will likely be two or three in the morning by then.

My apologies.、V
