I apologize for literally repeating what everyone else has said, but please, if the muses visit you, don't ignore them! I beg of you! This story was literally the reason why I made an account, just so I could follow it and hope for an update.
You have an extremely good knack for writing realistic characters, and they do nothing but leave me wanting more. If you could find the inspiration and time to continue, I'm sure hundreds of readers would love you all the more for it
