bc he's prospectively not going to be possessed anymore he did kind of go "wow what is it like to just get to grow up as a person without that as a constant looming core of your whole existence"
NOT IN A LIKE "THREE DAYS IS BABY SHIT" KIND OF WAY, he's sympathetic to Mouse. this is more just introspection and like... grieving the fact that he's still starting from a different 'baseline' even if he will lose the looming specter soon
I'm focusing on older threads a bit more in the perhaps vain hopes that I can finish some up and then have a slightly clearer plate but I will get to team and cricketmander posts soon
I also wonder if I should have Yuki be more overt about gender things more often :|a cuz I think it would be fun for people to call him on it more but he is honestly kind of stealthy about it since he's not out here like GIRLS CAN FIGHT!!! or anything kind of gender things
even Yuki actually doesn't think it's a girl association thing cuz it started after he literally kicked him in the head. he may become neurotic and revise this take later
