as others have said, I feel so strongly about some of the storylines you've been writing, this vn is legitimate good fiction and I want more XD, my favorite characters are Ashley and Maria and it sounds like they're getting what they gets this update but your story and character writing are amazing so my vote would be for side character content. I just also want to say I really appreciate the very honest and real view you take on trauma and depression in the story, it's refreshing to feel legitimate strong emotions over a story. between the big turning points in Ashley's Story and Maria's I've read published fiction that didn't give me the strong genuine emotional responses that your writing does, keep up the amazing work and get well soon.
