    I'm so glad you guys like it! This chapter was really hard to write for me, because Umeko is being objectively AWFUL and it's hard to balance her self-loathing, immense ego, and make her likeable/relateable!

    I will say, the comments have fueled me with inspiration to get the next chapter out! I'm utterly terrible with deadlines, but I'm hoping I can post it in a week or two for you guys :) Thank you for reading!

    (also, in ch2, the scene of shikamaru and umeko bantering is a remnant from when i was writing with the idea of them ending up together. it was very much going to be snarky and snippy between them.)
