Hopefully this will be the first and only time I make a new chapter for just an author's note, but this was important.

I'd already been considering this for a bit, but all of the current chapters will be undergoing small changes to keep things as gender neutral as possible (so they/them pronouns will be used). I want this book to be something everyone can enjoy and read from without having to mentally change something as simple as pronouns.

Drink water, take care of yourselves, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the story!
