Image 8: Natori smiles while accepting a bouquet from his costar. Text post by FoxGraves reads "no offense but i'm literally starving for affection but when people give it to me i can't accept it as valid because i'm worried i've manipulated their perception of me by only portraying myself a certain way and feeling like this portrayal of myself is an imposter and makes me disingenuous and not deserving of the affection they give me."
Image 9: Natori stands in the corner facing the wall. Text post by vilea777 reads "sorry i cant hang out i forgot how to mimic human like behaviour".

Image 10: Natori laughs and waves his hand in unconcern while talking about the gecko youkai. Text post by czesca reads "characters who are so inauthentic. characters who only show what they want other people to see of them. characters who simply must have control over every part of themselves. do you even get it"
