EDIT: Guys, very sorry for short missing segment around the 6th minute. I don't know why I keep making mistakes, even though I edited this through 3 separate times T_T. I am considering temporary suspension of some activities because the workload has clearly gotten to be more than I can handle. Please know I am sincerely trying to improve your experience even though it is taking me some time to do so <3
This story is set during the end of lantern rite, but I wrote this story prior to actually playing it, so certain parts are not cohesive with the canon storyline.
