Based on what I’ve read of the author, I wonder if she is speaking through Joka (one of the Verdigris’ Three Princesses)

I’m wondering if Chou-u is not just pretending to have lost his memory. Wouldn’t he have at least asked where or who his parents were?

When I see people at the supermarket with a token or a coin take a trolley that was loose, it really angers me. Leave it for someone who needs it, for crying out loud…

I love that maturity! Regardless of the denial they both are in in so far as how deep their feelings go, they not understand where their relationship is going and there is no fumbling denial or clumsy shyness about it.

Auto falling for Alexios is very much like ‘no I shouldn’t’ but also ‘Friends? What do you mean “friends”?’
