Hello everyone! I'm so sorry for the long wait for this one, but it turned into a pretty big update so hopefully it was worth the wait. Again, thank you all so much for your patience and support from the bottom of my heart QWQ/

Changelog:

• 15,852 words of story have been added to Chapter 4!
• 23 New CGs
• 1 new sprite for a new character
• 1 new sprite for Cassius
• 1 new illustrated background + 2 item illustrations
• Fixes:
  • Combed through the entire VN fixing instances where sprite animations could be interrupted by the reader skipping dialogue or clicking too quickly, causing unfortunate scenes like the one below. I've checked through every single scene in the VN to fix them one-by-one and I think I got them all, but let me know if you run into any I missed ;w;/

• 
• Massive sprite animation pass for Chapter 3. All character sprites now consistently perform a small flourish animation when speaking in accordance to their dialogue, as is consistent with my modern VN builds.
• Diversified sound clip usage in Chapter 3 and reduced the instances of "surprise.ogg" from 105 to 33.
• Massive bugfix sweep throughout the VN to fix miscellaneous instances where coding was slightly off, resulting in broken sound bytes or animations playing slightly incorrectly.
• Grammar/typo fixes.
• Adjusted the first conversation between Agatha and Calder in Chapter 3 to be slightly less antagonistic.
• Sidd no longer bonks Calder on the head with a baguette after their little heart-to-heart in Chapter 4. He instead gently pokes him into his chair. It felt a little insensitive to hit the guy right after learning hints about his abusive background.
