Looking between the two of them as they discussed private readings Jae flushed a little bit, and it only intensified at Kai responded in kind; her eyes found their way back to look at the surface of the water for a moment. When Narumi addressed her though she straightened up with a slight start, pul...

(No worries!) "I think the Miya is in for some confusing times ahead," Nesshin replies. "If Haruko is so...influenced that she is taken to be possessed, well, that can hardly be the person she truly is, and the Miya is proposing marriage to someone other than he fell for."
