A.N. — To finish off this longest stretch without canon birthdays (Nov. 16-25), I am doing a pair of connected drabbles on two of the most consequential characters from the Vigilantes manga. Again, as that series isn't my forte, I am taking one known fact and giving it backstory.

328. Tamao Oguro

Tamao Oguro had been rescued from the clutches of Kuin Hachisuka, but the girl from before was forever altered.

Rebelling against her father via flaunting her love of music just wasn't as fulfilling, nor were his reactions very satisfying anymore. Tamao would still idly strum her guitar, but much like her post-possession self, it was aimless and a bit off-key.

Her memories themselves might've been muted since returning. How else to explain the gaps in Tamao's recollection from running away to waking up in the hospital? Her father wasn't forthcoming, trying to protect what he'd already lost once.
