So Konoha lifts her head a bit more off the veranda wood, though she’s still noticeably sway backed in order to keep her head lower than Nina’s was, unconsciously keeping with her culture’s sense of respect and shame that played out all too obviously in things like the space between, in heights and deferences.]

[“Men...” she will just keep to herself for a moment, biting on her bottom lip a little bit in recollection, the way her hearts had both clenched to see the angry lines of shoulders and back turned to her, the way with a human? had sounded.]

I can’t ask Gonta to apologize for that, though- I’m sorry. I just did my best to help after.
