I'm so sorry it took so long. Thank you for waiting everyone!

Hello everyone, this is Villainchin!

First of all, I’m really sorry for being away for such a long time.

The anxiety symptoms I thought I had under control came back stronger, so I had to take some time off to recover both my health and my working environment.

About a month ago, I tried to keep working even during my hospitalization, but I wasn’t giving myself enough mental rest.

The anxiety that I was managing fairly well started to grow after my stay in the hospital, and it began to affect my daily life.

I originally wanted to just take some medication and keep working, but after consulting with my doctor, I was diagnosed again with adjustment disorder and was advised to take about three months of rest.

Luckily, with help from my relatives, I was able to stay in a more comfortable place with support around me, and that really made recovery possible.

I used to have a big fear of psychiatric medication and hospitals because of a long break I once had due to misuse of medication. But this time, I’ve been very careful, and I can see how much of a real help it is when used properly.

Right now, my condition is improving—I can manage my symptoms with medication, I can sleep longer, and even the blister on my foot has been treated.

The biggest change is my surroundings: having people to talk to every day has been a huge source of stability. (And most importantly—it’s not a shared bathroom anymore!) My uncle especially has been such a blessing. I feel very lucky.

I’m truly sorry for worrying you without any notice.

Even though I know you would always trust and support me if I had just said I’d be late, at the time I couldn’t bear to admit it to myself. I hated feeling like I’d be late again, and I couldn’t even trust myself.

Please forgive me for speaking up only after taking this time away, and thank you so much for always waiting for me.

What matters the most is showing you my art.

Three months of complete rest felt way too long, so about a week ago I insisted (well… more like begged for permission) to start drawing again at a safe pace.

I tested things out with some personal sketches while chatting with persons on Internet, and it was such a fun experience! Thanks to that, I confirmed that as long as my condition doesn’t worsen, I can keep drawing without issues.

All previously delayed works will be released for free, and I’ll do my best to take care of my health so that I can properly resume paid content again.

Seia is currently about halfway done!

Of course, I gave her a swimsuit, and the scene will take place at the pool. Since Cartethyia turned out with a darker atmosphere, Seia will be much brighter and more cheerful in tone.

I’ll keep a steady pace and finish the remaining scenes—just a little more patience, please!

The plan is: finish and upload Cartethyia →hen prepare the new vote page →complete Seia, and also catch up on the other things I missed.

Once again, I’m so sorry for making you worry, and thank you deeply for waiting for me.

October is already here! It feels like we’re stepping into the closing chapter of the year. Just as I’ve managed to take a small step forward, I hope that you, too, will find new steps of progress ahead I hope you all have a wonderful day Thank you!
