I apologize for the previous chapter. I was certain I’d copy-pasted the right document. I assure you, that most definitely was NOT a part of the translation. I don’t even know how it happened, given that the translation never even had a Chapter Eight. I want to remove it, but to be entirely honest, I’m not all that sure how. The layout feels very confusing. I’ve never been that handy when it comes to computers, though.

I’ve also been talking to someone. They’ve been saying a lot of things that don’t quite make sense to me, and this is the most pleasant way to ask them to stop, since I’ve long-since decided and made clear that I will no longer be making attempts to respond.

Another thing I feel I have to mention are some of my own impression. I don’t know if it’s just been a while or something, but the story isn’t quite playing out as I remember it. For instance, I don’t actually remember there ever being a stranger. Or Kokone dying this early. Or it having… an actual, in-universe book. Maybe I’ve just confused it with something else over the years? Well, I’ve come this far. Might as well push the rest of it out.

Speaking of, the next few chapters will probably be slightly delayed.

I have an early flight tomorrow.
