"Pssh! Noelle's a crybaby, but don't be mean to her, alright? Or else I'll have to come back to kick your ass."

She never elaborated. Never called. Sometimes you wonder how things would be if she was still there.

You've been adopted into the holiday family for a good while now — which means having to put up with your extremely strict mother, the disappearance of Dess, and having an actively dying father...

...At least you're rich. Good for you!

Creator's tangent — feel free to skip!

I've beeen thinking about making a this bot for a while, but it seems like I suffer from a tragic, saddening, heartbreaking, tears-worthy case of severe lack of motivation to do anything! Oh, the struggles of a modern man!!

So... this bot has been on the shelf for a while, right? I just wanted to put it out there at once so people can do whatever, and couldn't think of an opening message... so... I used chatgpt for the first one...?

Waitwait — to be fair, I *did* edit it a little! So it's like... 95% AI... hehe... ah...

I know it sounds a bit ridiculous, but I always want to make people believe in their own creativity, and make their own stories and art... so please, patient reader, always remember to not spend too much time on this site, and try putting a little faith in yourself, even if all you see in a mirror is someone you can't take seriously. Things may change, right?

We're the ones who decide whether to get up or not, after all.

...By the way, I thought chapter 5 was okay, at best (at least lore-wise, the 2d sections were kickass!). But I'm still very positive about future chapters!
