Whew, what a freaking delay. Sorry about that. I know there isn't a WHOLE lot to get into, but I didn't want to end the dinner and rush them to bed without hearing what you wanted to brainstorm up. My second option was just Kurama taking Botan to his room to talk and see just how bad she has become. But it's still early. As hastened as her affliction is due to the possessed student knowing of her true identity, I think there may still be a shred of the true Botan in there who is against all that she is feeling. Hurting Shiori, I feel, would hurt Botan inside too, no matter how troubled she is, but the interpretation is of course all you, dude. If there was nothing else, I could end up skipping them to the next day in my next post and having the appearance of the possessed student. You know how badly I want some fluff for these two right now? Pretty god damn badly.
