    Summary

    While enjoying a day off together, Cyan receives a reminder of the past she escaped. Just because Cyan is her own person now, as well as an increasingly popular pop star, doesn’t mean that the “Sacred Maiden” isn’t still revered.

    Summary

    “Ichikawa, I won’t be giving up after all.” Kafka declared. The chilly night air bit at his nose as scale and bone peeled away in flakes, releasing his human face out from its kaiju cocoon. He looked determined.

    “I can’t join the Defense Force anymore, but I’m still gonna fight. Even if that means doing so on my own. Or as a kaiju.”

    …

    Ichikawa deadpanned, “Sir, that is a terrible idea.”

    or

    The Defense Force raised its enlistment age cut-off to 32, not 33. Kafka gets kaiju-ified anyways. He makes due.

    Summary

    Cyan had always wanted to have friends, like what normal people had. She wanted to talk and play games with people who didn't just want her there for her luck. She didn't know back then just how long the road ahead of her would be...but maybe, one day, even she would be lucky enough to get that one thing she truly wanted.
