What was Hatsuki's backstory then? Some Nothing corruption?
I enjoyed our scenes. Yoshino was HIGHLY wary of Hatsuki and Choudai at first. By the end she was pretty chill as neither had raised any flags. That could have easily been exploited, but both of you were very friendly. Your information about shadow creatures made her feel pretty hopeless though haha.
Hope you liked the storytelling. I had wanted to do that earlier, but gaki~!
The ending for Hatsuki was sad, but moving. Nice send off.
Hatsuki was a bit of a naive Doji princess in her early life who showed talent in painting and especially song. However, she noticed that the Kakita Artisan School was really running other students ragged. Lots of imposter syndrome, etc. This both made her more inclined to look at the school critically, and turned her to making use of her painting skills for makeup, because she wanted others around her to be able to look at themselves and see how awesome they really were. It was successful, so she thought she'd pursue that as an art. She encountered a lot of pushback from her instructors, and, Hatsuki being Hatsuki, she dug in her heels and pursued it with even greater dedication. The resistance also made her progressively more cynical, and the critical attitude toward her work taught her to disregard the feelings of others that don't align with her personal goals. As you can imagine, this didn't go over well with the Crane, and she basically committed political suicide for her art, which also didn't sit well with her courtier parents. And this is how a Doji ended up marrying out and into a secondary family.
I'm glad! And I'm glad you enjoyed the epilogue.
