Previous-world teenage Layn agreed to elope at 18 without being fully behind the decision 😭😭 that's...that's never going to end well, is it? Well at least it was in his last life so it's already over, but oof. Just oof.

Lucia is injured and needs her rest. Glad their chain distance has lengthened, so Layn can move around the building a bit! But making friends with this ragtag group might be more than Layn can handle 🤣

But Mason hates sireif?? Oh? :D something they have in common? 🤝 "IT TASTES LIKE SHIT!" And lo, they were friends 🤣 okay not quite, but still. I love that "Wait no, I don't want to bond with this guy!" moment.

Mason had a crush on Lucia 🤭 oh the poor boy. Wait. Layn and Mason now bonding over the fact that they're *both* crushing on her. Okay this is adorable.

Scientist mom casually mentioning periodic climax 👀

Okay more on target: they're looking into "Grace" affecting his friend's minds too. That's where it becomes a scientific mystery 🤔

The dad has a lead?! There's a girl? In medical equipment?!? GRACE??? 😭😭😭

She's in a coma, reaching out from her dreams 🥺 well, at least some of my guesses were close ❤️ I actually had it more correct earlier on 🤣 before I went full Cthulhu.

As I told my friend (who is a streamer): if you have to file taxes for your income, it's a REAL job. No matter what anyone else says 🤣

But family troubles and pressures are real 😔 and it sounds like mukuro hasn't had it easy. I don't think his mother's approach is wrong, but I don't think it's right either.

Good on him for showing his mom the YouTube/Twitch though. And, good on the mom for actually trying to understand it. Even if it's small steps, it's cool to see a story trying to bridge that generation gap!!

Co-op slime challenge?? Heck yeah! (Pre-recorded bikini slime vid too? The boys in chat be going CRAZED for that 👀 thirst streamers?)

I would've guessed the game was Totally Reliable Delivery Service, but the Stretchers is good too!! 🤣

Also Sven and Crowboy friendship moments? I support this. I like their friendship chemistry together, and I hope Sven can cook one day under his own terms, while Crowboy can regain his confidence about his work ability ❤️❤️ (･ัᗜ･ั)و

Astrid shaves her head AND has to eat her hair 👀 brutal. Hardcore. I love it. (Also gagging slightly at the thought of eating hair in cupcakes, but I think that's why so many viewers are watching 🤣)

Crowboy DOMINATING the game over here. Sweat hours, but I'm here for it. I like that he's good at video games <3

"Astrid's bald now" what a chat message. 😂

Wasabi BRB 👍 NICE. Also a "beat crowboy" stream? Where can I join? 👀
potential love confession on the horizon!! Excited for these two, honestly. I hope they can become even happier than they are now ❤️

Festival full of yūrei!! 🤣 Honestly I'm somehow imagining the festival full of dementor-looking things that are trying to pull the soul from Takashi every time he gets too close!

(Also, very happy these yūrei find peace eventually ❤️ just as a small aside. That makes me very glad and it feels very in-tune with the Shinto beliefs.)

Mythology time!!!! Yessss! 👀 Much more respectable retelling of Izanami's story than #GamerGodBathwater 🤣 don't let me teach mythology classes. I will put way too much humor into them.

Oh man Takashi's fears appearing on both the newspaper, the phone, and whispered into his mind...Takashi just keeps running through it!! To meet Nao at that Torii gate again! 🥺 ❤️

You're right on the edge of the Festival Chapters, where things start to fall into place and all these character emotions I've set up start to bubble over!! Things are going to change here, but for better or worse is yet to be determined 😉

I actually made sure to address that closure fact (partially) in a future chapter 🤭 no spoilers yet, but I definitely agree with you. Someone suddenly vanishing would be frightening and painful!! So I handle it in two different ways, for two separate partings.

From a lady POV: I've watched anime that have done MUCH worse 🤣 so I took it as a funny moment, meant to be cute and not taken too seriously! I laughed! :D

To answer you more realistically: usually a girl would wear a bra if they knew a boy was visiting. Even without a mother figure, girls are trained (by their peers, by television, by books, by social interactions in general) to be more "aware" of themselves and their body, due to the risks. I was admonished by classmates and teachers if I tried to "walk home alone" or if I wore an outfit that was accidentally too revealing. It's safety training in a way, and it's something my brother (for instance) didn't get at all from his peers, but my sisters and I did. It's different from culture to culture of course! And I would imagine that Fantasia (without a mother figure and without a lot of friends who are girls) might not have gotten as much of it. Though I feel like Eleona would yell at her for this scene! 🤭 Hehe

I don't think you need to make backstories a major plot element if it doesn't fit the vibe you're going for in the story! Especially if you feel like it would veer the narrative off course! 🤣
Just something simple like having them exchange real names and talk about where they live, a few things like "I'm still with my parents but hoping to move soon" or "I've got siblings" are all you might need. Just something to briefly acknowledge their home life and then move on, basically to eliminate the issue of "they don't really know each other outside of gaming" (But you might already do this in a future chapter i haven't read yet! 🤣)

Keith wants to keep the status quo 🥲 I wonder if Jessica will have to make the first move romantically? To help Keith know that his feelings for her are okay to express!

Also I salute Jessica 🫡 morning jogs + class + tutoring + phone call + painting. This girl is amazing!!! I just hope it doesn't burn her out.

Christmas vibes!!! ☃️🎄🎁 It's a romantic time of year and the Christmas music never stops playing 🤣 I wonder if Keith and Jessica will exchange gifts?

RIP Keith's shoe 👟🙏🪽 I have given funerals to my shoes before, especially ones that have been with me for years. They almost feel like partners.

Shoe shopping together? Like a date? 😉 (Also Keith knows K-dramas from his mom?! Ahaha even more reason to love him!) They're even planning for it on Christmas day? ❤️ Jessica is so excited for the sales 🤩 Keith doesn't quite share her passion 🤣 but I'm hoping this fake-date shopping goes well! Maybe help move things into real-date territory? 😉

The fact that this school puts so much effort into the Beauty Contest as one of their 25-year long cherished traditions...just goes to show how much "caring about appearances" is sadly mixed into the human brain 🥲

Ravel the beauty queen. Banzai Ravel for being there for Fantasia 😭 honestly. Joining a beauty contest to help mitigate the teasing is like the biggest thing and I have so much respect for him.

Lady Diantha? The previous alphabetical girlfriend? Uh oh 😨 and Leanna too, a girl who liked him but Ravel turned her down! Ravel...was a bit of a lady's man before Fantasia wasn't he? 😏

Silveria 😃 just, just a little megalomaniac? A teeny bit 🤣 but oh, the assistant might know a secret about her? I feel like that might return as important!
