update 65.

WHAT I DID.

it's nearly june. isn't it crazy how fast time passes? one moment you're wearing long sleeves and waiting for the snow to melt and the next, you're in a tank top and shorts wondering when the weather will calm the fuck down. that's how it felt for me, anyway. june brings a lot of things. ice cream, the sun beating down on your neck, [A]'s birthday—it's bound to be a lot of fun.

there isn't much to say in terms of new content. i'm sure you're all tired of me repeating things—i am too. this is my last week before i start my fulltime job so i'm hoping (fingers crossed) to finish the chapter by this week. it's really just a matter of forcing myself to sit down and write, but with an attention span like mine, sometimes that can be difficult. either way, everything is outlined. i had a rough idea in my head of what was going to happen and ended up writing that down on a notepad the other day. it's not necessarily something i need to follow, but i feel good knowing where and when exactly i'm stopping.

in other news, i recently went back into the game and decided to re-evaluate some stats. i have yet to upload the new version (it'll come out when chapter nine does) but the 'laidback/intimidating' and 'independent/collaborative' stats have been booted. i found that i wasn't using the two very much and they didn't really add to the story, so yeah. the laidback/intimidating stats are completely cut, while the choice of whether or not you choose to trust [A] in chapter one will be added/taken from your relationship points with them. the same goes for any other time you decide to be cooperative or not, though in the case that it's not with [A], it'll be added/taken from the other ro's relationship points. this grants more opportunities to raise or lower your bar with certain people, which i use to unlock or lock certain choices (more so a plan for the future).

hopefully when i come on here next week, i'll be yelling about how i've finished the chapter so. good luck to me i guess. hope you're all well <3

SNEAK PEEK.

Both of our chests are heaving, pants loud and coming out in puffs of smoke. My ears are ringing; the only sounds I can hear are coming from us.
