To all my amazing readers and the editors who followed this story from the very beginning to the very end,
Thank you — truly — from the bottom of my heart.
When I started writing this novel, I never imagined how far it would go or how many people would connect with Airi, Toshio, Mina, and the emotional journey they shared. Every chapter you read, every comment you left, every vote, every collection, and every moment you spent with this story gave me the strength to keep going.
To my readers:
Your support has been overwhelming. Thank you for laughing with the characters, crying with them, cheering for them, and staying through every twist, heartbreak, and gentle moment. Your excitement, theories, encouragement, and patience pushed this story to become something I'm truly proud of. You made this world feel alive.
To the editors:
Thank you for giving my story your time, your attention, and your trust. Thank you for reading from the first chapter to the last and for believing in the potential of this novel. Your careful eyes and dedication mean more than words can express. I am grateful for every moment you spent walking through this journey with me.
This story began as an idea — but it became a living, breathing world because of all of you.
Thank you for allowing me to share this world.
Thank you for supporting my writing.
And thank you for finishing this journey with me.
I hope we meet again in the next story.
With deep gratitude,
Digzee
