Heyo, hope everyone's new year is off to a good start! I unfortunately came down with the sickness ;;;w;;

Anywho, hopefully I can spice up your new year with the next part of Chapter 4 of Temptation's Ballad. The beginning of this chapter leans slightly on the slow-burn side so I hope y'all don't mind the slower pacing of it. It feels weird to do some quiet worldbuilding here after working on the climax of Repeat for so long QwQ

Changelog:

• 11,381 words of story have been added to Chapter 4!
• 2 New CGs
