Author's note:

  Hi everyone,

  Thank you for reading and following this story.

  I think I made a number of mistakes when writing this. Having two passive main characters is probably the biggest one. Taking so long to get to a decent inciting incident is another. Not being familiar enough with the genres I am writing is yet another.

  This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

  For sticking with me so far, thank you.

  I will revisit this story in future. For now, I'm going to leave it as is as I have two other projects plus an IRL business to attend to.

  Thank you for reading.
