what flavor is your soul?

mariko kusunoki: rosemary

ah, the old soul, nice to meet again. the time of ages is etched into your bones, you see clearly. you've watched the heartache in this realm and sworn to solve it. but kindness without limits is self destruction. oh little leaf, strong and wise, you seek to bring peace with your presence. i'd be wrong to say you fail at this effort, but you mustn't set yourself on fire to keep others warm. you wish to please everyone, to protect them all. but if you shield the saplings from the sunlight they will never grow, and you one day will wither. protect yourself too. you know there are no happy heroes, so don't be one. be a friend. your loved ones will not forsake you for not being perseus slaying all their demons. you have your own monsters, why not meet them first before you conquer anyone else's nightmares. oh true-hearted paladin you are brave, and you are good enough. you know that right? be true to yourself, one cannot do anything saintly if they did not tend to their own wounds first.

i need to make a relationship chart but i think the cutest thing is that mariko sees noboru as an older brother, and even calls him nobu-nii. she clings to him like a younger sister should, and the sweetest thing about it is that he lets her. he doesn't brush her off, or tell her that she's being too much.

he accepts her for how she is, allows her to treat him like her brother, and even acts like a big brother to make her happy. he listens to her and treats her like his own family, a lot better than what mariko's biological family can really say.

there's times after fights where mariko uses too much energy, so noboru gives her piggyback rides and carries her home. he holds her hand when she's scared and plays games with her to make her happy.

you'd almost think he had siblings himself, but nope! he's actually an only child, so the fact he's acting like this is so........ GOOD.

i just think mariko and noboru's familial bond is neat is all (<- guy who is sobbing in the corner about his own fictional characters' dynamic)
