          The Player, 2B, and EVE sitting together and watching a sunset from a high elevation as the Player explains the complexity of being human and finding purpose in a never-ending cycle of failure and hardship.
          
          Searching for happiness in the pursuit of purpose and questioning if it's all worth the suffering.
          
          Happiness in small moments of an endless void of darkness - moments like sitting together and enjoying a sunset after a long day of battling machines and monsters for survival.
          
          The reason for existing is finding out if it was all worth fighting for after making those moments.
          
          To laugh
          
          To smile
          
          To experience
          
          To understand
          
          Is the pain worth it?
          
          For a chance to be with you? For a chance to see you happy and to do it all again on another day?
          
          Yeah. 
          
          It's worth it.
          
          You are worth it.

@Forgotten_Conductor He admitted he copied my story, he regrets doing it, and that he doesn't right anymore. 

The Player, Filia, and Squigly meet Kazuma, Aqua, Darkness, and Megumin
          
          ...
          
          Just think of the chaos lmfao

@Forgotten_Conductor Me, personally, there's nothing wrong with being inspired and taking some cues, but for this instance, there were dangerous similarities with the dialgoue, character mannerisms, dynamics, setup, with minor differences at which point it was no longer being inspired, it was copied. 
          
          I actually talked to the writer who did it. He approached me, actually. So that was interesting. 
          
          

@derpherp6206 Thanks a bunch! :D

@StrikeTheAlmighty Somewhere else, Fanfiction. Net

Hmmm... I don't want to jump to conclusions or anything, but I think I came across a Skullgirls story that seemed mighty similar to my own in some instances.
          
          The parallels are almost 1 for 1 with certain interactions, like there was a scene where the main character stopped Riccardo from preying on Filia and even had similar exchanges with Filia and later on when they met Samson. 
          
          

@xdRemix Lmao, feels like it. Such an eventful day XD

Even bigger development, one of my favorite artists from the Skullgirls community, specifically my top favorite, has given me permission to use his art as the design basis for several characters in the upcoming chapters, beyo d 21 and 21, and he may even consider giving the story a read.
          
          I don't want to give a name yet because if you look into him now, you'll see some potential spoilers, and I want all of that to be a surprise.
          
          I owe it to AndrewAssassins for helping me get beyond my social inferiority and giving me the idea to approach the artist and see if we could help each other.
          
          When you find out who the artist is, and that reveal will come when the time is right, consider supporting them on social media if you can.
          
          Things just get better and better. I'm not used to good things happening to me XD

Quick update: Chapter 21 is about 85% done.
          
          The format of this chapter takes place across 4 days and is broken down into sections. I just have to finish up a few more interactions, polish a few fights, check for typos, and we're good.
          
          Just a reminder, chapter 21 is a slice of life focused chapter so that we can unwind from all the action in chapter 20.
          
          Good God, there is so much that I want to do... I'm writing this as I'm going over all the ideas in my head, but I think the thing I'm most excited about is having you read this event that'll change everything, lol
          
          A lot happens in this chapter. There are a lot of laughs, a lot of fun, and overall, it's just a good time. I can't wait to get it out to you.
          
          On another side note, I'm planning on releasing the chapter as a "double feature" with the last omake, which will be longer than all the others and will pretty much be like a mini-chapter to close out all the chaos. 
          
          Thanks for your patience. Love and appreciate you guys!
