Rlly love this. To echo other people, this hurt in a way that felt close to home (I cannot stress enough that this is a good thing to me). It has a very 'lived in' feeling. The prose also has this relentless quality to it in a way that made it feel like I was being gripped (this is also a good thing).
The Gumitochi scene was insane and also really hot. The stripping away of agency during it is both narratively compelling and hot.
Thank u for this.
