Dear readers, before you read this story, I'd like to say a few things. First of all, I have to warn you that some of the subjects mentioned in this story might be triggering, so here it is:

Trigger Warning:  This story contains subjects like abuse, rape, suicide, self-harm, child neglect, mental illnesses, bullying, and death.

If any of those subjects might trigger you in any way, you might want to leave this story be. For sexual content, I will make special warnings (especially if it gets explicit) so you will be able to skip those scenes if you want to.

This story mentions a lot of heavy topics so if you are a sensitive person and cry easily, this might not be the right place for you. I also won't blame anyone if they decide to stop reading at some point during the story.

For everyone who decides to give this story a try: I hope you'll like it.

I don't know how long this story is going to be exactly, however, I do know that this will not be a short story. The storyline is complex with a lot of different characters and perspectives and it might take me a few years to actually finish it. In general, I tend to plan long novel-like stories. So if you don't plan on reading a long story and potentially waiting for new chapters to come, this might also not be a good story for you to read.

(I'm also not sure if I can manage to follow an uploading schedule since I am busy with (high) school/ sixth-form/ A-Levels at the moment. For now, I will try to upload once a month.)

Edit for new readers: I graduated on June 17, so the part in brackets is no longer valid.

I also do not have an editor and English is not my native language, so I might make some mistakes here and there. I usually re-read the chapters before publishing them so I can hopefully correct as many mistakes as possible.

At this point, I also want to give my thanks to my best friend Kyo, who usually reads all my stuff before I get to publish it and gives me some feedback on it.

That's all for now,

greetings, Kat  (≧◡≦)
