While at the observation tower at the southern end of town, the inability to do anything grated at Yuriko’s sensibilities.

Even by the time Yuriko made it back home, she was still flushed. The feel of his lips against her hand lingered oddly, and tingling waves went through her body. The heat seemed to focus on her chest, and even more embarrassingly, below her navel....

Yuriko’s Anima expansion had reached five paces. Over the past week teaching, her Anima had inexplicably grown by at least an inch or so every day. It was progress that eclipsed her growth even back in the Kogasi plane, where the ambient Chaos l...
