The Night Sparrow's Fleeting Love
Voice-In-My-Brain #1: "What does Moko-tan do for food if all she does is guide people through the bamboo forest?
Voice-In-My-Brain #2: "Well, she's immortal, so maybe she just doesn't eat?"
Voice-In-My-Brain #3: "No way, she'd have to eat for pleasure at least or she'd go insane."
Voice-In-My-Brain #4: "Maybe she makes bamboo coal? Living in a bamboo forest with the ability to control fire, y'know."
Voice-In-My-Brain #5: "And that's where Mysty gets the coal for her eel stand, got it."
Voice-In-My-Brain #6: "What about a workplace romance kind of thing, between Mysty and Mokou? Think that'd work?"
Voice-In-My-Brain #1, 2, 3, 4 & 5: "THAT'S IT!!!"
