Your anticipation for the story's continuation warms my heart. Currently, my 3rd semester finals are imminent and will occupy my time until October 18th. Until then, I won't even have a moment for myself. I genuinely appreciate your patience.
Rest assured, I'll be resuming the story, and I promise to do so after October 20th when my academic commitments ease up a bit. I kindly request your understanding and extend my apologies for the delay.
