If you transformed a "A" cat into an F16, repairing this should be a cake walk. Although it may sound easy enough, and even easier for me to say so, but I think you can do it. No need to give up now, just a roadblock that needs to be overcome.

You can do it.
No need to be sad! you have accomplished a lot already.
