Dear Readers,

First, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story. It means the world to me that you've shown interest and care in exploring this world I've created.

I kindly wish to share that what you're currently reading is the very first draft. For me, the purpose of a first draft is to capture the raw essence of the story and get it out of my head. It's an early, unpolished version where I simply let the characters and events unfold naturally. (Even then, this first version has gone through three different revisions since I first uploaded it).

A more refined and thoughtfully crafted final version is available now under the name DEM. I hope you'll look forward to seeing how the story unfolds in its truest form.

Thank you again for your attention, and for joining me on this journey. Your support is invaluable.

Your devoted writer,

Ela Shadow Rose 🥀
