    Summary

    COMPLETED! Neito Monoma is twenty-four and has spent five years learning to be almost-present in his own life. The distrust that installed itself in him at nineteen follows him from relationship to relationship like a shadow he's stopped trying to outrun. He tells himself it's working.

    Honomi Mitsuyama is twenty-five, law student, seven months out of six years she spent being systematically convinced she was lucky to be loved at all. She left. It took everything she had. She moved to Osaka and is slowly, painstakingly, remembering who she was before.

    Her quirk is partial fox transformation — ears, tail, senses that cut through pretense. It activates when she can't contain what she's feeling. She is not always able to contain what she's feeling.

    They meet at a photoshoot in January. She steals his cigarette. He ends up with her number.

    Neither of them was looking for this.

    Companion to Managing Love — readable as a standalone.
