Hello, everyone!

I've been working on something of a grab-bag this time, with a bunch of smaller pieces of writing that closes off several short story paths that have been left hanging for many years.

Which ones? Well first, there's the one in Hiroko's Gullible storyline, where Kyou stops messing with Hiroko but commits to making sure she keeps her word. This one basically loops into the story path where he keeps pranking her with some minor script changes. The second is for the Redemption storyline, on the Spiral subpath where Kyou gives into temptation and uses the penlight on Akiko. The new ending occurs when Kyou decides to leave Akiko alone during the critical moment near the end.

Finally, there's an ending partially written for the Villainous Devotion storyline. This one is found when Kyou pursues Nozomi through manipulating her friends right up to the point of victory, intending to do the exact same thing to her only to change his mind at the last second. It's just missing an epilogue, which I'll get to in the next update.

Oh, and there's the new art too! We have some new illustrations for both the story paths written last month, starting with an extention to the CG sequence that was already made for Nozomi's Trance storyline (the "Become mindless for me" path). The other is on Sayori's Alter storyline, where Kyou has Sayori leave his house as herself only to change her back to her alter during an argument they have a little later.

If you're confused about where to find any of the new writing, please refer to the flowchart guide linked below where all the new stuff is marked in green.

It does feel good to close off a few more of these outstanding story paths~ Anyway, hope you all have a great holiday season, and I'll be back in the new year with more updates :)
