⠀I would not mind taking a visit. It has been a while...
Would anybody like to come over to Alterna actually? It’s been awfully quiet without any work to do… as nice of a little hideaway as it’s become.

⠀Don't... don't worry about it.

⠀And... I have said “no” before. That, unfortunately, will not stop them from trying... 😓
Just say no then? Gosh, if someone tried to cut MY tentacles I'd SCREAM.

Hey wouldn't that make you a parent? And then whoever cut it off is technically the other parent? Wait what if it's like a team effort and five people cut it? Hachi how does this work. Hachi. Hachi, hey Hachi I'm confused.

⠀They are all plotting against me. They want to snip off the tentacle hanging over my forehead to spawn an Octarian. But I like this tentacle... it's my favorite tentacle... 😫

⠀⠀[ It's stained in Tsukudani's yellow. No wonder it's their favorite. ]

Is that…? Oh…

⠀⠀⠀They can't leave them again. They can hardly fathom the thought... no, they can hardly fathom many a thought at all.

⠀⠀⠀All Hachi can think about, as they kiss Tsukudani... is Tsukudani—and how much they 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 Tsukudani. ]

⠀⠀<- ...in the movies, anyway, right? When two people feel this way... they kiss.

⠀⠀⠀Sure, though, it was mistimed, unintentional—they hardly meant to interrupt themselves... but...

⠀⠀⠀...it feels good. It feels 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵.

⠀⠀⠀So... they don't stop.

⠀⠀⠀They don't want to stop.

⠀⠀⠀When this happens, their eyes widen just a little—they had no idea what they were doing. They just kept leaning in and leaning in and... well, now here they are.

⠀⠀⠀Except... Hachi and Tsukudani aren't so far apart.

⠀⠀⠀No, the distance between them is only inches now, narrowing by the second—and as Hachi draws closer, they can feel Tsukudani's warmth.

⠀⠀⠀Hachi could fall from this tower—no, Hachi could fall straight from orbit and right into the depths of Alterna... and they still wouldn't fall as far as they have for Tsukudani.
