Heya, just a quick update: 
My current plan and best estimate for the release of Episode 8 is the first week of February! A Teaser before February is very likely! (Keeping it to a shorter one this time, though. The last one was a bit too long :D)
As always, I'll update- and narrow down this estimate on the pinned post accordingly as time moves on.

Also, have a random pic of Emily that I found share-worthy. (8k Resolution)
