Sorry about it technically being the 16th – I’m on an odd schedule these days. ^^; Thanks to dipping_sauce for uploading, Midori Yuki for the lovely cover, and all the beta readers for the decidedly fabulous job. Thanks also to the person who sent virtual gifts to s2b2; they’re very… apposite. XD

Happy reading (PROTIP: keep the lights on),

Love, the Editor
