[shenhe...her feelings are just wow! cool!]
Okay! Let's go in!

Yeah, you don't have to tell me twice. My story is dumb, and these days the Big Bad Wolf and I are buds! [...] Well, he's a god, so it's a little hard to tell. But I think he likes me.

...Me neither, really. I mean, mom or grandma always did my hair. And then after I skipped town, Mother Goose did it.
[she just takes this like yeah! okay! the big bad wolf is a god. that makes sense, unironically. there's one of those in her world too.]

I'm not sure.
Anger is the core of me. I was upset to lose Buzen, to possibly lose Matsui, and it became anger, so easily. Knowing that others would be similarly angry and I would feel that, too, frightened me. I don't always have control of myself, and the red ropes can only do so much.
