[So, there's no denying the past week has treated most people pretty terribly. Okuyasu, for his part, has elected to spend most of his time not going very far, to avoid getting tripped by his shadow, and has gotten incredibly good at twisting around to smack it in its stupid flat face with his soothing touch when it acts up. So it's been tedious—but nothing bad has happened to him, really... Enough staunch refusal to respond has kept the shadow from gaining any real leverage over him this past week.
"Sit still and don't make any noise" may very well be something he learned from his considerably rough childhood, but let's not dwell on that—he makes it through unscathed! But considering the conversations he has had this week have been distressing at best - Nanjo almost died?? goddamn - his first act as a man free of shadow harassment is to march into Ruga to check up on Ochako.
He knocks, for real, he does, but then counts to five (more like two) and just walks right in, looking around. There's no time for patience here!!]
Oi, Ochako! [and now: shouting] Where are you? No screwing around!
[He's not mad, this is just how he sounds at higher volumes. Hellooooo!!]
hey it's 4/24 now
