First off, I want to say that I deeply appreciate the time and energy the author has dedicated to this story. This work has been captivating to me since it first started being posted during the pandemic. When the author returned recently and resumed their work, posting sometimes two chapters a day, I was delighted. Speaking of the new chapters, the progress the author has made in their skill and the confidence in their voicing is strong. These are chapters that resonate with important things to the author, the emphasis on the holiday season shows an importance in recapturing that splendor and magic which is very wholesome. I have to admit, though... the most recent chapter has taken such a deviation from the original thesis of the story. Now, Patrick is either so clouded in his regression he is unable to distinguish fantasy/dream from reality OR Santa is real and magic is real... Which is wild to even consider as a possibility in this, otherwise, mostly grounded story. There seems to be some unspoken involvement from his mother on Patrick's descent into cognition. Which, if true, paints the story in a very sinister light. If his mother is the cause of his complete infantilization, that is... wow... just, holy cow, man. The vague, yet consistent, emphasis on the recently introduced formula seems to support the idea that she is drugging Patrick into this newfound stupor. So, maybe this manipulative nature was present all along. There isn't much further Patrick can regress at this point. So, perhaps all will be revealed soon. Perhaps the coming chapters will show Patrick's true fate and the motivations of those who helped him manifest it. It's also likely this is a fun story that is being shared for the sake of sharing. The magic of Santa being real adds to the fun of the narrative and it's all about the vibes, as the kids say. Either way, I await the next chapter with bated breath. PS some folks seem very eager to have Patrick breastfeed on his biological mother...as a whole-ass adult... and I'm not yucking anyone's yum here, but man that makes me flinch. I know it's fiction, but incest of any kind always makes me a little squeamish. I suppose that's the joy of stories, right. Everyone can find something for them. If something comes along I don't enjoy, I can skip it. If the focus becomes to heavily on that particular element, I can find a new story. Or, I can write the story I want to read. Anyway, thank you again for all your wonderful work @Pamperdk
