Chapter 601: This is Just the Beginning

It's probably going to feel like an odd choice, but… if you like music while you read, try "I'll Follow You into the Dark" by SayWeCanFly (who also sing Gahrye & Kalle's love song, "Always Love You.")

AUTHOR NOTE: Don't give up, friends. Trust me.  (Also, there will be FOUR chapters tonight!)
