it's a convoluted mess
July. We meet again, my annual nemesis. We spent the first week of the month on vacation.

It’s the start of a new story arc so it didn’t have quite the same gut punch of FEELINGS of the last two expansions that wrapped up a huge arc. That was fully… Keep reading…Looking for clues…
