But they are not bad people. -3 Humans have lived here before, but it was a pretty long time ago. People might give you odd looks, but if anything happens, come talk to me about it. -4 Oh, right. In this town I’m not normal. ###bold and italicize “not normal” -5 The place you lived before was an equality zone, so you didn’t have to worry about things. ###so why the fuck did they have to move?

Egg nigiri! ###This is a play on words in Japanese. HekoNyan is a compound of Hekomu, the verb for to be down/downcast/gloomy and nyaa, the onomatopoeia for cats, which I’m translating as downcast cat. Deko is just a rhyming word that means “forehead”. But that’s why the version with ears close to each other is on Mika’s head sometimes. —180 -1 Meow Prrr Thank you very much!
