I told you guys I'd post a little update when I had my hearing as a witness/victim in the court today, so here it is.

It was...Harder than I thought it would be. I knew that it wasn't going to be easy, but I was extremely nervous and if I would have been there alone, I don't think I would have been able to manage it. My questioning lasted around ~2 hours and while the judge and state attorney were nice, two of the 4 lawyers of the accused were pretty bad with their questions. Still, after my hearing was done some other witnesses were heard and while I was on my way home my lawyer called me. He basically just told me that I did a good job, that I didn't say anything that could be used in the case against me and that this is the one we are now looking forward to. He requested an update on the case file and should hopefully get it soon. We don't know much yet, there were a few side notes on it in the current case but we don't know to what extent. I'm not sure if there will be any significant update before the four culprits that were there today get their sentence, though, which could be at the end of this or next month.

All in all I'm just glad that this part of the whole thing is over now. I might have to appear in court again if the main culprit returns to germany - My lawyer thinks that he eventually will come back because his parents are urging him to it, I think. I'm not so sure though, but we'll see. His friends are pretty pissed at him though, so he can be glad he will instantly get arrested if he sets a foot in germany.

I really hope that the case where they see me as culprit will get solved sooner than later. It really sucks that it has been 7 months already and while it's still emotionally draining I'm glad that the prequel is so well received and I can continue to work on that, to at least bring you something in the My New Memories universe. I'll keep you guys posted regarding both cases if something comes up, the next witness hearing is on the 23rd and 25th, so there is some time left there ( I'm not going to attend these sessions, my lawyer will, I never want to see these people in my life again ).

Thank you guys again for all your positive comments and that I was in your thoughts and prayers. That really helped with keeping it together today and I was able to power through all of it because I knew that I have a strong and passionate community behind me. I know that I will get through all of this thanks to you guys, and once I have my assets back I'm going to be in full effect again.
