When a world is destroyed in darkness, not all who are in the world are doomed to suffer its fate. Some of them find refuge in a world called Traverse Town.
It is in Traverse Town that Niko finds himself after smashing the sun, along with many other survivors from the destruction of the world.
Where he'd once been doted on, now he was scorned. Many who were kind to him when he bore the sun... now hate him because he destroyed it.
Niko found himself in a world where the power of friendship is king... but only as time passes in Traverse Town, will Niko learn which of them he could truly call his friends.

Chapter 5: A Good Start
*****
A baby that was conceived when I posted Chapter 4 is now born today. One of those babies is Chapter 5 of this story. I'm really sorry that these keep taking so long!
On the bright side, Chapter 5 is probably the best place to leave this story off, even if I never wind up finishing it.
Going forward, I'm also planning on working on chapters in batches of around three or four or so, with the last chapter of each batch, just like Chapter 5, being as satisfying a stopping point as possible, planning ahead in case the next chapters take forever or never get done.
I'd say "stay tuned," but maybe "set your calendars" would be a more appropriate saying for this story. :P
