Summary
Darkness falls soon into the Clock family’s voyage toward a new home, forcing them to camp out for the night. Homily finds herself feeling worried and useless– frightened by everything that may stand ahead. Lamenting all that has been kept behind. Her struggle to keep up with the rest of her clan has left her feeling like a complete waste of a Borrower.
Tonight, though, as she silently tends to her injured husband, she learns the deep significance of her talents, in time coming to cherish the unique ways in which she keeps every person protected. In spite of her nervousness… or perhaps because of it.

Summary
Aika is a foreigner to this land; a descendant of the Japanese raccoon-dogs that had lived and fought and perished centuries prior. For decades she's worn the clever face of a woman-- but she's never quite possessed enough personhood to pass the world by.
Chronic pain and fatigue have consumed her. They have bent her out of shape-- or, perhaps, into it. Either way, Aika faces a simple choice, wild and precious: to stay in town and die unanswered for, or to begin anew.
Or:
A bake-danuki returns at last to the forest.
(Loosely based on the author's own experiences. An exercise in wish-fulfillment on my part!)
