There is a small addition in chapter #20 Anthrax case.


This saga ends here. Might be rushed, but it feels almost cathartic to end it like I had envisioned it to be. There is a plan for sequel, but until I write down and actually post, it's a plan.


Whoever voted, messaged and replied to this fic, thank you very much. I wrote some more stories on Ariya too, and will post them here from India-forums. If interested, you can read. 


And I will end it with this quote which has become a light for me and Riya (of sorts).


"Hope" is the thing with feathers -

That perches in the soul -

And sings the tune without the words -

And never stops - at all -
