[N/A: I'm not supposed to be back until Monday (27th) but here is my Christmas present for all of you. This chapter is not related to the plot of the story, think of it as an alternative chapter. Be careful, I advise you to read it only if you are up to date because I have taken the situation of the main characters from the last chapter. Happy reading !]
