He did not want to have the different last names conversation today.
Gratia picks up the sakura mochi box... stares at it... stares at it... pushes her big round glasses back up her nose where they've started to slip off...
"It does too. Like Ango-sensei said. It's got mud and sticks and sakura and bugs and sand and GLASS in it."
Guess that last one's her own special ingredient for the recipe. Anyway, that's when she opens the box up to eat it, and there's nothing Novvy can do about it because this was what he wanted. The world he has wrought.
