Sadness

I don't know why, but this feels like the opposite of what I'd normally expect from a story, where we get the "now" being the main story and then maybe flashbacks to the "before" and where it all started... Somehow I feel like everything before the time skip was an extremely long, fever dream prologue

I think I'd be OK with this if everything after the time skip that's happening now would be properly developed, as no matter what, people change a LOT if they haven't seen each other in so long... especially when it's growing as a person from a teen/early 20s to late 20s/early 30s. But yeah, I suspect we're not going to get a crazy amount of chapters now, where we see the story develop more, and I am not liking thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis
