You might be wondering why this story has been on hiatus for so long.
About a week after I posted the last chapter, I was involved in a serious accident that left me in a coma for five months. It completely changed my life, and recovering has taken far longer than I ever expected.
I feel like I let all of you down, and that's something I've carried with me ever since. I'm genuinely ashamed that I couldn't keep the promise I made to continue this story. I'm truly, deeply sorry.
Even after I recovered enough to come back, I found that something had changed. It's hard to explain, but I feel like I lost the part of me that knew how to write this story. Every time I try to continue, it just doesn't feel the way it used to.
I honestly don't know what to do. Part of me wants to continue this fic, another part of me thinks it deserves a complete rewrite, and sometimes I wonder if I should just start a brand-new story instead.
The truth is, I don't have the same motivation I had back then, and I don't know if I'll ever get it back. I just didn't want to disappear without telling you why.
To everyone who waited for this story, thank you. Whether I find my way back to this fic or end up taking a different path, I appreciate every single one of you more than you know.
