We know, we know, we promised information on Rachael. We swear it's still coming - but with something this important, we'd rather take our time and get it right than do it quickly.

No trigger warnings this time (phew!) beyond the general crappiness that we've all been dealing with. See you all next time :) And as always, stay safe and don't join any cults!
