I just wanna share another quote from my recent chapter of “Kohaku and the Practice of Self Restraint” because I think I cooked and the following chapters can get a bit self indulgent in terms of direct characterisation.

“Aren’t you the most selfish man in the world, Asagiri Gen?”
His head turns around to face her. She looked him in the eyes, peering into his very soul, into his insecurities, at what she knew he wanted.
“Will you really be satisfied with just staying by his side?”
He turns away from her, shielding his face from her vision.
“I’ll have to be.”
