Where the $%^@ have you been? (update with new scenes and voicework)

I'll keep it short. I was working on the next scene when I tried to do something - I kept trying and trying to do it, over and over again, and kept failing. The frustration became overwhelming, and I closed out of everything in disgust. I needed to step back for a few days.

Days turned into weeks turned into a month and I seriously began to doubt if I have the skill and drive to even see this thing through, which made me feel absolutely awful. However, after recharging my batteries and talking to several of my close friends, I'm back in the swing of things and feeling better about this than ever.

I come bearing two inexcusably late gifts:

https://imgur.com/a/bzwwy30 - here's the opening scene, new and improved, and now featuring all of Iris Harman's wonderful voicework as Retsuko. I think you'll agree she was the perfect person for the job.

I'm not gonna insult you by saying "you'll be hearing from me soon" cuz I'm pretty sure that's what I said last time and then I had a total breakdown, so all I can do is apologize for my absence, and thank you for sticking around. You deserve better than what I've given you lately, but hopefully those two scenes show that I really am feeling much better and putting together something worth supporting.

Thanks, and stay safe in these chaotic times.
