Tatsätzlich, das ist einfach Hexerei...!

Might be a bit 'out there' idea, given that I named Haruna after Blue Archive's Haruna (and also Fuuka, too).
But to be honest, Shirao Eri was a bigger spiritual inspiration for Haruna's character throughout the months I wrote her character in Heiress' War, hence Haruna cosplaying as Eri.
Which, as I also talked about in the story - both Haruna and Fuuka was pretty much just a stand-in for different aspects of myself, as I used writing to explore my thoughts and emotions.
Perhaps all of this has been a personal and therapeutic journey for me, even if I ended up writing something that probably isn't very captivating or appealing.

But, I don't regret having written Heiress' War. Honestly, I'd even say writing it was peak for me.
I feel like since then, my mental health has improved a lot, along with other self-work I've been doing for the large part of 2025 and the start of 2026.
Lots of things happened, but I hope to ease myself into a life that's healthier for myself going forward.

Just kind of relaying my thoughts at this point, but I feel a sense of pride welling in my chest as I talk about these two girls, and it brings me a lot of comfort, heh.
