### Author's Note
I haven't posted chapters for about three days; it's been quite challenging to focus and get back into writing. Right now, we're at the most crucial stage of the novel, and I'm doing everything possible to satisfy my perfectionism and deliver a good arc and a readable finale.

Enjoy your reading.
