Awwww thank you for your appreciation of their story! It was definitely one that I felt strongly about writing, especially since so many stories tend to make one party change who they are in response to trauma, and I wanted to go the absolute opposite direction. I've been very glad to see everyone enjoying it so much!
I also just loved putting all of the cutest unconventional NPC tropes I could think of into this, so I'm glad they stood out 8D I loved writing Marcia as well as Olayn - maybe I just like writing old people who don't give a shit? But yes, sometimes we just want a cute and healing story, so I'm glad I was able to provide!
