"Iwasaki-san? Are you all right?" calls the nurse.

Permalink

Don't be alarmed.

Permalink

"Y-yeah, just, nightmare."

You're Kyūbey?

Would you look at that, he can't stutter in telepathy.

Permalink

Yes.

Permalink

And you don't have nine tails*.

 

 

 

 

* 九尾, "kyūbi", literally means "nine tails"

Permalink

No.

Permalink

Okay.

What the fuck. But also it's kind of... cute?

He stands up straight, looking at the little... furry... thing... with some wariness.

Permalink

It puts its forepaws on his knee. You have magical potential, it informs him. That's why you can see me.

Permalink

Yeah. Okay.

Do I get an exposition episode now? —you can let Swan Masaharu listen, too, now, I guess.

Permalink

What do you want to know first?

Permalink

The thing where I almost died? That part, probably? I was having a shit day but not that shit?

What time is it, he didn't mean to nap, does he get to go home now?

Permalink

(Yeah, the nurse will send him home if he looks like he'll make it on his own without incident.)

There's these monsters called witches, they affect people's moods and stuff - driving people to suicide or violence.

Permalink

(Cool cool he can totally make it on his own without incident he would in fact like to be somewhere safe and personal and away from everything and everyone else.)

Wi... tches.

(Unfortunately he's still staring at the fox thingy and not actually leaving.)

Permalink

The nurse doesn't rush him. The fox thingy climbs into his lap. Witches are creatures of despair, it says helpfully. But magical people like Haru are empowered by hope and joy!

Permalink

Magical people.

Blink.

Is Haru a magical girl? ...boy? Like Sailor Moon?

...it's really kind of cute, though. The furry thing. He pets it.

Permalink

It leans right in to the petting. Yes!

Permalink

You know, in the West they let boys star in superhero comics too.

Permalink

It's really not the same genre! Do you have a transformation sequence that is only ambiguously diegetic, too?

Permalink

What would it mean for my transformation sequence to be ambiguously diegetic??

Permalink

Well, I don't know, I just know that Sailor Moon monsters didn't just sit around twiddling their thumbs for the thirty to sixty seconds straight of teenage girls glowing in plausibly deniably erotic ways while changing clothes but I have no idea what was happening instead.

Permalink

I'll have to take your word for it on what happens in Sailor Moon. It doesn't take thirty to sixty seconds but it's admittedly got a bunch of steps that I might experience as happening more slowly than they do by the clock.

Permalink

He looks at the cute fluff on his lap. Shouldn't you be with Haru now or something?

Permalink

Why?

Permalink

'Cause he's your magical boy and I'm not?

Permalink

You could be, if you make a contract with me.
