William: lost adventures

Chapter 3 is basically the “lost siblings grow up” arc while William is still unconscious and Amaree is missing. That gives Kyree and Nylah their own emotional development instead of making everything about William and Amaree. · 📖 Chapter 3 — The Shinobi Who Took Them In · Time skip: · William — 21, still in a long-term coma · Amaree — 19, still missing · Kyree — 14 · Nylah — 10 · Opening · After William's stabbing and the sealing of Kurama, the village is left devastated.
