Welcome to the YA arc! Apologies for this lengthy authors note haha.

An overall blanket-warning for this arc: The visual depiction and written discussion of drug use and addiction is noticeably more intense in this arc than the last. If addiction and drug use are difficult/sensitive subjects for you, please proceed with caution for the foreseeable future.

Some chapters will focus on drugs more than the others, of course. And some will barely mention them at all. But an overall warning is just easier, since it’s something that will come up quite a bit. So please just keep this warning in mind for all upcoming chapters.

This particular chapter also has an additional warning for a brief depiction of domestic abuse. Only one screenshot.

Oh! And this chapter is wordless and has a TON of screenshots (Literally the most of any chapter)… And unfortunately since it’s wordless, splitting it doesn’t make much sense this time. It will totally interrupt the flow So expect slower loading times on mobile! 😦 Sorry!

Okay, novel over… 🙂
