Chapter Notes:
- Revisited The Easy Life in Kamusari by Shion Miura, for a little inspiration on Yorishima's home. Though maybe most of it stayed in my head ;; So, think: The barest glimpse of a great Forest. Open and wild, yet claustrophobic.
- That book gave me NatsuYuu feelings the first time I read it, so it's one of my favorites! Highly recommended.
- Think Okami vibes for their blighted tree! If only Ammy was there. (How would she and Sensei get on..?) She might be disturbed by the bugs too though. They do taste bad!
- Mushishi too? Old apothecaries, also. With Yorishima's walls of drawer and cupboard and so forth. Filled with who knows what, lol.
- An increase in trust from Shuuichi here. He's still a little oblivious, but Seiji can certainly deal with this, for all he can't see. Plus Seiji is curious! And it's rewarded.
- I really liked figuring out how this might go. Ethereal (slightly feral) Mr. Yorishima is really very fun. And he means well.
Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed!
