If it says the file is now in the owner's trash it means you're trying to open the old link. It can take a few tries but you'll be able to read it don't worry!
Seems like opening it through your mail -> safari (and note the Patreon app) solves the problem.)

I'm so happy to share this update with you!!!!!
It's 8 and a half pages long, because I didn't want to rush the 9th page, but I really wanted the grandmother speech to be complete! By the way, we'll be back to the present with the Boy and Tera in the panels right after (next update!).
We can see that their relationship has evolved just by the way the Boy doesn't react to Tera's arrival, as if he knows what Tera is all about. By the way, Tera's not really sulking, he's playing with the Boy! But guys stay tuned, cause in THIS chapter, their relationship does get to change drastically indeed. I know it was slow, and took a lot of patience, the Boy was very closed off to Tera. Now he's starting to open up. And in the next few pages, this will intensify (which will also lead the Boy to reveal a major part of his past!!)
For those who remember, Anna (the grandma) was doing a puzzle in the previous chapter! it was all planned mekrjflsnfchlehfkjf-
I feel like with the puzzle metaphor I'm using my writing potential for the first time in this comic haha. The metaphor isn't for nothing, of course, and will take effect and meaning right in the next few pages, as the Boy acknowledges Tera isn't just this annoying guy. That what he sees is just a part of his puzzle. It was also a part dedicated to the readers, to help understanding the Boy's way of thinking and acting so far.
It allows us to know the philosophy with which the Boy was raised. That puzzle metaphor will follow the characters all along til the very end, since I feel like the comic is all about it: pay attention to all the pieces of the puzzle. We're all incomplete puzzles.
I hope you enjoyed this update! I had a lot of fun making it!
Thank you for your support this month! <3
I think I'll love this chapter, and you'll do too haha. We've been looking for these upcoming moment for a looong time now.
Have a great Monday!

loved the puzzle metaphor! also, I scrolled through all chapters again bc I realized the boy has never seen tera's whole face before, soooo I am reeeally excited for the moment that will happen! Also I realized there are more details like tera finding the bow and later we see the boy using it. I am really impressed! I love such details! the comic looks so beautiful! keep up the good work! <3

I love how this comic is so much more than just what its seemed. It's intricate. I can totally tell and appreciate how in depth and thought out everything is and that so many things aren't just random. You've put so much work into it.
