First off, I'm happy to say that I'm feeling much better than I was when I posted the last part. I ended up taking about 5 days to relax and clear my head.

I played some Gears of War 3 offline multiplayer for 2 nights in a row. 7 rounds of Team Deathmatch and 7 rounds of King of the Hill on hardcore difficulty. I was always Savage Kantus on the Locust Team.ovo We won all three times, of course. I was carrying my entire team most of the time, though.

Silly bots, running into the line of fire and just standing there shooting. While they're getting shot at themselves.. Only I'm allowed to behave recklessly since I know to roll to cover before I'm downed.=v= Well, usually. There are times where I don't pull back in time...

And then I helplessly crawl for safety, only to be stopped by an enemy team member casually stomping my head. Or kicking my body over and driving their Lancer into my chest. Aha aha haa.. Screw you, Bernie, Anthony Carmine, Big Rig Dizzy and Cole Train LE..

I also occupied myself by drawing. Xxw-d_neko_gaster89X, I finally finished your request and that picture up there is the result. I'm really proud of how it turned out.^^ I did use a reference again because Gaster Sans was extremely hard to draw. Which is funny to me, as he's Gaster and Sans combined.. Although, I think his clothing was the main reason why I had so much trouble..

I had trouble deciding on the shape of his skull while working on the shading. I wasn't sure if I wanted to stick to an angular, more narrow skull, or, redraw his cheekbones with a rounder edge. In the end, I think the rounder version suits him best.

I actually have two different viewpoints for you to choose from, as I couldn't decide which I prefer. Here you go! Feel free to use either one if you'd like.^o^

I hope you like the drawing!

Now, I have things I need to say. I noticed ya'll's comments and I smiled after reading each one. Thank you so much for all your kind words! It means a lot that all of you were willing to be there for me when I was upset.

I immediately felt bad that I left the way I did.. Even if it was something that needed to be done, the reason behind it is incredibly petty..

That.. wasn't the first time I had to go on break from a social media site. I did the same thing back when Flipnote Hatena was around and I was a part of that community.

I'm afraid that ya'll might think the worst of me when I confess this.. But, I owe you all an explanation.

What drove me to make that rash decision, wasn't anything any of you did. No, despite my choice of words, when I said that I was feeling left out, that was my fault.

Ah, I'm finding it hard to put what I'm trying to say into the right words..

Um, basically, I'm pretty anti-social in real life. I don't talk to anyone other than my family. I'm.. too afraid to venture out and meet anyone, I guess? So, when I talk to someone over the Internet and I like that person.. I become.. uh, clingy.. I start overanalyzing stuff. Second-guessing everything..

I hate this side of myself... Yet, it's my own fault it's there. For stifling my need for contact. I don't ever realize I'm lonely until I begin spiralling into negativity.

Ah, I'm sorry.. I know how that makes me sound.. I actually didn't want to discuss it, but, I thought it wouldn't be fair not to inform ya'll on what happened.

Please don't hate me..
