Temptation's Ballad: Build 0.2.5.4 (January 8th, 2025)

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a good start to the new year! Apologies for the delay in getting this update out, my work schedule ended up getting a bit hectic over the holidays. Now I'm ready to hop right back into TB development and continue onto the next part of Chapter 4!

This update is split into two parts. 1) The main story content, which includes around 7,046 words of new story and 2) A Grank/Cole mini-episode, which totals around 5,725 words.

The main story update ends at a rather abrupt spot. This is because the next segments of the story will be very art heavy and cutting it off in this way will allow me more time to focus on development. I figured in the meantime, y'all can enjoy some steamy Grank/Cole action in the mini-episode :3
