Chapter Text
Hello everyone, it's been quite a long time since I have last updated, and I am very sorry for this.
My computer had just crashed last week, together with my word files for chapter 13 along with drafts and plot notes for future chapters. And even before then I have been hit with a slump in writing, as new ideas kept coming but some make no sense while others don't even relate to the original plot line or even the anime. And ever since this and the recent events, I am feeling a little bit down and I have to post this to let you know and get this off my chest.
Sorry in advance for the long rant.
Maybe some of you - the ones who are still following this story, at any rate - might have guessed, I am a college student and my schedules are pretty messed up, even in updating and studying. The last time I updated, it was after my trip to Japan, where a burst of inspiration hit me with the speed of a Shinkansen. After chapter 12, I have written chapter 13 and drafts for about 2 to 3 more chapters and many more plot notes, but college exams and exchange program application got in the way.
Good news was that I was accepted in an exchange program to Japan, bad news is that because of the virus outbreak in Japan, especially the Diamond Princess cruise ship that was docked in Yokohama port, and also because the school where I am going for the exchange program is in the same city and is quite close to the port, the program was postponed till August. Unfortunately, I have had to pull out of the program because of personal reason and also in consideration of my study plan. I felt very sad and disappointed at this, I have so many plans when I do come to Japan, and now because of the initially poor respond time and method from Japan, the corona virus outbreak is getting worse in Japan and affecting everyone. Now I can't even use the plane ticket or the Japan visa I have applied for because the Japanese school's announcement came too late. And plane ticket together with visa application fee is not cheap, at least in my country. My mom and I have been through countless amount of headache ever since October for the application process for this exchange program, just to be told that the program had been postponed and if we do want to go in August instead of pulling out of the program, we have to go through the application process from the beginning with brand new documents?! No way sir. I am not blaming the school, because in this situation their decision is right. But couldn't they respond faster and be more decisive instead of going through countless meeting just to reach a simple conclusion that only took my own school 2 days? My country is also at risk of the virus outbreak from China, because we are right next to them in term of geography. But instead of dawdling and dancing around the issue, my country's government and every single school except for medical universities made students stay at home and study online for a month straight to avoid virus infection. Even now we are still studying online instead of going to school for lectures.
Returning to the main point, I have no idea for this fanfic's future direction, as most of my ideas are recorded in my computer, which had crashed quite spectacularly last week. So for now this story will go on hiatus for a while (no I'm not gonna abandon this, don't worry), and even when I do update again I will be extremely slow. I hope you guys can understand, and thank you for your continuous support until now. If any of you have suggestions for future chapters, special scenes requests, or any ideas at all, feel free to comment, I appreciate every single of your comments (and kudos, can not forget that).
I wish good health to all of you, please be careful going outside and be positive, this will pass quickly. After the rain stops rainbow always appear.
Thank you very much.
