Hello, whoever's been reading these stories. It's me, ya boi. Now, you may be wondering, where have I gone? And today I'm finally giving an answer.

To put it simply, I ran away. Under circumstances beyond my control, my access to this website, and therefore my content, was completely removed. I had to quit . It was rough, and I hated letting everyone down, but I kept my head down and marched on. Eventually, I tried to forget about these stories, even writing new ones on Ao3, under a completely different name. It worked until today. I was looking through the Oregairu fandom, as I have ever since I discovered it, and a fic on this website caught my attention. Essentially, the writer had died, took his own life due to his depression and anxiety. The fic was posted by his friend with an explanation. It's not the first time it's happened in the Oregairu fandom. Each time, it breaks my heart. Because it reminded me of what I had given up. I could have come back. But I didn't.

Seeing that fic really reminded me of why I started writing in the first place. A way to have fun. A way to escape from whatever I've been running from. Thinking about it now makes me realize how ironic it is. I've run away from my escape route. And with the world as it is, life is more fragile than ever. I don't think I could die knowing that I left things unfinished. So I've finally decided to suck it up. I'm back. For good this time.

Let me say a few things. I'm different. I'm older, I'm tired and I'm a different writer now. I'm going to be rebooting both fanfics, adding them to the regular archive instead of the crossover one because their only change is the MC. I hope that I'll live up to your expectations.

Adapting a quote from Doctor Who, I've been running for a long time. Maybe my whole life, or at least a significant part of it. But what is life without a few sacrifices? Without pain? It's time to stop running. I'm coming home.
