Summary
In a life like Nino’s, you make little habits; and all on their own, they become part of you. Maybe he was supposed to be that person all along. Maybe that’s deluded thinking. But definitely—definitely—the city is not as large as everyone thinks, and accidental encounters with the one person you must otherwise see have to mean something. They have to.

Summary
Even less reliable than superstitions are divinations. An exorcist requires innate strength, but their success is a matter of memorized knowledge and its use. Actions, consequences. Fortune-telling exists in the ambiguity of youkai themselves. Signs must be interpreted, metaphors parsed, exact conditions met. Asking a dozen people for one's fortune would result in a dozen variations, and when the fortune came to be, each fortune-teller would find ways to bend their own words to suit what had happened. It's the supernatural for fools, romanticists, or both.
I wonder what that makes me, Seiji thinks, hands folded inside his kimono, eye falling off irrelevant scrolls in the family library.

Seiji has the real Shuuichi here, with him; no one else gets to be inside him, hear the specific hitch in his breath from arousal, witness his belabored nighttime routine, all of that is Seiji’s alone. But there’s so much of Shuuichi that is for public consumption; his looks, his charm, his body.
Seiji’s never been any good at sharing.
