Thank you so much for your kind, thoughtful comments! They really made my day. I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it. I am also a big SantanaxLucy fan, they're so fun to write. I'm really looking forward to writing more of them in later chapters. Natalia is also fun to write, especially because her point of view is so different from Liliés, it's an interesting mix.
I hope you like the future chapters just as much!
