No regular episode this time either.After losing Nox, Nori began to show signs of extreme loneliness... and while I wasn't emotionally ready to recruit a new Lorekeeper, Nori definitely was.Nori just wasn't expecting a 9 month old kitten-shaped gremlin who knows no fear and a passion for sneak attacks. Nori was expecting another old man cat. But the universe had different plans. Haru was not who I thought I would bring home,,, and initially wasn't sure since he has a sensitive tummy. But something about him felt right. Like Nox gently nudging me over to this chaotic little love bug who parkoured his way into my heart. Haru has FULL orange cat energy in a void cat body. He is loving, playful, and endlessly happy... and has been bringing out Nori's inner kitten... Which makes my heart soar!So this is our introduction to Lorekeeper Haru! You're welcome.A regular episode will drop on April 15th starting where we left off: INTERREGNUM!Music Attribution:Lofi Piano loop Gmaj 90 BPM.wav by holizna -- https://freesound.org/s/629171/ -- License: Creative Commons 0

No regular episode this time. This is for Nox, who was never "just a cat," but a constant, a comfort, and a very loud presence in my life.He was there for the quiet nights, the hard days, the birth of this podcast, and in all the in-between moments no one else sees. Losing him feels bigger and heavier than I can explain.Grief is strange and heavy and so much quieter now. It's chaotic and then impossibly still.Thank you for sitting in it with me.P.S. I know he is judging me for being so emotional. He would rather all of us assume he is now in charge of the afterlife... so assume that is also true!
