#never know what internal decadence means ⤙pre twewy⤚⚄

⚀ Takes place after Hanekoma has become a Producer but before the events of the original game.

⚀ This can take place before or after Hanekoma has met Joshua, and it can also take place before or after Joshua has become Composer. Hanekoma's base personality may be the same, but how busy he is with his Composer and his attitude towards his Composer can change drastically depending on where he is in this timeline.

⚀ Hanekoma doesn't do a lot of traveling in this verse. Before Joshua, he doesn't trust his Composer, and after Joshua, he is working to get his new Composer settled in. After Joshua has been around for a while, he becomes more willing to travel.

⚀ Hanekoma doesn't know any of the kids from the original game in this verse, but it's possible for him to meet them in the sideline. His angelic ability to see into the future might kick in from time to time, but as he is very unversed in his abilities at this stage he has little control over them and doesn't really use them actively. Meetings between himself and the kids will be like first time meetings, with little implication attached to it.

⚀ Hanekoma really doesn't like most other angels and doesn't trust them, even other versions of himself. He'll be every bit friendly to visitors, but he's likely to have his guard up the whole time. That being said, he's not very good at protecting his thoughts at this stage. He's likely to broadcast on accident.

⚅ — Rumours of WildKat Cafe being cozy and quiet were true. Cat Street was a sanctuary of peace compared to the bustling hell that was Scramble. Ukuwa quite liked the atmosphere, at least until he found a plate of donuts he didn't ask for accompanying his house blend. It didn't seem like a mess up in the order. He was the only customer here.

How Uncomfortable. For some reason, this felt almost like a non-transactional interaction. Despite being at a loss of words, they came out anyways.

"Sometimes being offered tenderness feels like the very proof you’ve been ruined."

Ukuwa murmured beneath his breath. Something about this man at the counter made his walls sink a little. — ⚅

Hanekoma had noticed the well of creativity in this one as soon as he walked in the door. However, this one was quite stagnated, having either missed the point of his game or lost the will to work on himself after reaperhood. In either case, Hanekoma could see that there was more he could do. As an offering to opening up, he'd offered the extra treat, preparing himself to take it up as just something he laid out for himself should it be refused.

But... That wasn't what happened. He wasn't sure if it was the atmosphere or the gesture, but something pried open within the reaper, and he said something unexpected. Poetic, soul-piercing in a way. It was the words of a touch-starved, wounded, frightened spirit. One coming to terms with the fragility of one's own soul.

Hanekoma's eyes softened behind his glasses, and he cracked a grin despite the tenderness he insisted on showing, "Maybe so, but there's nothing like a hot drink to warm a freezing soul, and fresh bread to fill the stomach. There's something about good food that can heal like that. But I'm guessin' you'd rather not talk about it, eh, boss? Words are pretty good about easing ruination, too, but it's not like I can make ya. Lead a horse to water and all that~"

Hanekoma stuffed his hands in his pockets as he made his way down the sidewalk and studied the world around him. Things felt a little like they were stagnating, so maybe it was time for him to create something new to get people going again. He wandered long enough to stake out a new canvas, and once he’d found the wall he was to be decorating he got to work. It was admittedly a lot closer to the main stretch of street that most people traversed than he normally would have felt comfortable working on, but he felt like this time he needed to take action this close to society. He needed as many eyes on this piece as possible. And anyway, if someone got too close, he’d surely notice and slip out before ever being seen.

Or at least, that’s what he’d thought...

But while he was working, he got very into the details of the piece and got a bit reckless. He would have certainly noticed an adult coming through, or perhaps even a teenager would have caught his attention. But someone as small and unassuming as a child easily slipped past his peripheral radar and it took a good second for him to realize that there was in fact a presence near him.

Hanekoma turned his chin and found himself looking down at the small boy, and a slight panic rose into his chest. What was he supposed to do? To say? He’d been caught red-handed, and even though this kid probably didn’t even properly know what it was he was doing, it still wasn’t good if he went talking about this to other people. Someone would be able to place the description with CAT, surely. He needed to do what he could to mitigate the severity of this situation.

Good thing kids were so easy to work with.

He shot a grin, a little messy from the paint, and pulled down the mask he was wearing to address the boy, “Hey there, boss. What’s up?”

Hanekoma chuckled and tugged lightly at his chin, “Comin’ from you, boss, I would call that more of a threat than were it to come from the average individual. But hey, I suppose it would be a good way to get everyone to leave ya alone. Personally, I just like to say black is the most flatterin’ color for the figure. Not many can disagree with that logic. Somethin’ I can getcha, or did ya just stop by to make jokes?”

Not that he minded jokes. If that really was the only reason, Hanekoma would have a blast anyway.

Hanekoma shrugged and made one smooth movement to sit down beside Kitaniji, “I just got here. Hope ya don’t mind me lettin’ myself in. You wanna talk about it, what’s on your mind? I don’t mind lendin’ ya an ear.”
