honestly, it feels a bit of a disservice to me how people immediately label kotoko as someone who doesn't care for the people she saves when there's clearly a much more interesting relationship at hand here!
we know how kotoko gets when she doesn't care: she's stone-faced, she's self-assured, she's above it all ...but when a scared little girl hugs her? she doesn't roll her eyes or click her tongue; instead, she freezes, sweats profusely, and yanks the child off her. she just murdered someone seconds ago but it's the child she's antsy with?
Kotoko: "Treat you like a child? Hah, you’ve got to be kidding. Back when I was your age, I was already the person I am today. I don’t have any plans to let you get away with something just “because you’re a child.” ...Remember that."
i don't want to say anything concrete just yet but—especially when you take a look at mikoto—there's a very obvious fear at play with kotoko's relationship in protecting someone weaker than her. just like there's newborn imagery baked into john doe's character, kotoko is the little red riding hood, the child, who's been swallowed by a wolf.

I...really don't think it's a good idea for Vi to be that close to Leif this early in the timeline. What if she gets infected?
I mean, with the way i figure that cordyceps works in game i dont think that would happen. i dont think its capable of reproducing on its own w/o roach intervention. but also it doesnt work the way that the roaches intended, it doesnt actually extend one's lifespan like they were trying to do, at least according to the devs.
BUT ignoring ALL of that just for the lols
for my au of my au where getting infected does actually stop ur aging and leif is just stuck with a fucking enternal teenager that is trapped in the body of a toddler and this doesnt cause any wild hijinks no sir

Del Sol Valley Arena | Del Sol Valley, Simerica
Sports Announcer: And the Del Sol Valley Quarks are up by 14, but the Mt. Komorebi Llamas still have a chance as we round out the third quarter.
Gianni: Okay! Did you see that play? Crazy.
Jennifer: Yeah... that was pretty cool.
Gianni: We are totally going to win. Go Quarks!
Jennifer:...
Gianni: Do you need anything else to eat or drink? I can make a trip up to the bar.
Jennifer: No, I'm fine, thanks. The egg rolls were really good.
Gianni: I know! So, have you ever sat in the club suite before? Pretty cool, right?
Jennifer: No, I haven't. It is nice up here.
Gianni: Where do you normally sit when you come to games?
Jennifer: Oh.. well. I don't really come to games...
Gianni: Really? Why not?
Jennifer: I'm not really a sports person actually...
Gianni: Oh, no... and here I am forcing you to watch a game.
Jennifer: No, no! I'm enjoying myself.
Gianni: I am literally the worst. I should've asked you before I took you here.
Jennifer: Gianni, it's fine, really. This is fun! I don't really know what's going on, but I'm not having a bad time.
Gianni: To be honest, I've been really wanting this date to go well and I thought this would impress you and-
Jennifer: Wait, this is a date?
Gianni surprised: I-
Jennifer gives a knowing smile
Gianni: Ah, good one.
Jennifer laughs: I'm sorry! You're just so tense. Relax! You don't need to try to impress me. I wouldn't be here if I wasn't already impressed.
Gianni: Well, you seem like someone worth going the extra mile for.
Jennifer: That's a really sweet thing for you to say.
Gianni: What do you say we get out of here and do something more your speed?
Jennifer: I'm always down for a late night stroll. How about it?
Gianni: Starlight Boulevard it is.

Actually, the day after my Billboard Live Osaka, I went to a place called "Sakuya Konohana Kan"🌺🌻🌼Ever since I found out about this botanical garden, I wanted to go there someday!! A tremendous number of plants beyond my imagination! It was truly the best experience...!! ️ There's a greenhouse which is said to be the largest in all of Japan, all the plants there looked really lively and wonderful🎉 I have many more photos so I will be posting them at a later date🥰 On the way back I took a walk through the park outside and headed to the next destination🎶←Please stay tuned!! ️🐟🐢🐧🐬🦈
The wind felt good during my walk but it was still too hot! ️😂 It seems like there are many more wonderful places in the park but I didn't have enough time to see them all... 🥺🥺 Next time for sure!! ️

Sakuya Konohana Kan Part ③ 🥳🎉
A special "Carnivorous Plant Exhibition" was being held so I saw a lot of tropical pitcher plants and got caught in a Venus flytrap🧐. I really like tropical pitcher plants but from my experience, they end up dying in autumn and winter. After all, it is difficult unless you have a greenhouse that is warm all year round😓
Outside, in Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park, I found a manhole with the mascot character of the Flower Expo, Hanazukin-chan!!🧐 The inside and outside of Sakuya Konohana Kan were truly wonderful😍💕 I will definitely come again!! ️!!(Source)
