In order to cheer you up a bit, I'm going to break my usual no spoilers rule and tell you one tiny thing about chapter 26: it's my favorite one in the entire fic, and everyone, so far, agrees with me. :)

Wah! *swallows, chews fingernails, eyes next button, rolls eyes, fiddles with the keyboard, eyes the next button again* NO! I just said like a minute ago that I'm patient. I am patient, no matter the cost!

(How shall I keep waiting another day?!) *groans* I think I'll head to bed early today. Then tomorrow will be here sooner. :D
