Okay, where and how do I even start, this tower means so much to me and I never thought I'd see the day this would come. Corny, but I really mean it, this tower was an entire trip. I started grinding this on the 24th of June 2023 because I thought it was fun to play through and grind even, I was right :D. I grinded this instead of ToER because well, it was less demotivating and it was genuinely better to play. I also grinded this out with my friends, mainly half of the people mentioned in the Special Thanks (You can see why I've put them there). Fast forward a month and I was already failing 8C, it felt surreal to get there.

All of a sudden, my PC broke. Couldn't play for 5 months, but when I got it back I was back to grinding it already. Of course I was rusty as hell coming back but I regained my consistency really quickly afterwards. Failed 8C twice after that and then it was already 2024. I kind of slowed down during the start of this year although, whenever I came around to playing it, I got to Side C relatively quickly most of the times. Around June 2024, I got to 9C for the first time new PB by a floor in a long time. Nothing really happened after that, demotivation and a bunch of stuff to do so, again. Fast forward to October, well you already know what happened but earlier that month, I got back the motivation I needed to play this tower again.

Although, I'm not completely quitting. Don't get that message from the title, I'm just not gonna go for another new hardest. Sure I'll still do SCs, just definitely nothing harder than this (unless I do one on accident, very unlikely). I'm definitely slowing down on obbies though (as if I wasn't already).

That's it, the end of the road.

Shine as bright as a star, maybe other galaxies can even spot you too.
That's all I really have to say, what an experience.

Thank you!!
