    alright, now that the initial hype has died down... time for some LORE DROP! 🍾💥 This story is actually an OLD story from last year. It was once published in print through a certain publisher... That publisher's CEO was later busted for WORKPLACE ABUSES 🧵/1

    After that, my story (as well as others) shortly returned to its original owners some time in May-ish. Ngl, between its awful, mismanagement-laced production period and all the baggage it has, Her Girlfriend Back Home feels like a cursed object to me 🧵/2

    I admit I have flirted with the idea of continuing it when I first got the rights back in May... but all the negative feelings spring up-- and I deem that it's better to leave HGBH as a one-shot with a spooky open-ending, then continue the story halfheartedly 🧵/3

    Speaking of hearts, my heart goes out to all the affected parties from that publisher CEO! May their careers and lives flourish despite everything they had to go through 🙏 Also, shout-out to Scumbag Loser, Snotgirl, and Kago Shintaro, which served as my inspirations 🧵/4

    TLDR: Her Girlfriend Back Home is an old story with cursed circumstances. 98% sure I won't continue it (2% off bc there are no certainties in life) Anyway, thank you everyone for reading. Love it or hate it, I appreciate that you took the time to read my story. Take care! 🧵/END
