with each info it just keeps getting revealed more and more how much the Numbereds genuinely like. Trust Ijin. Like both on a pragmatic and non-pragmatic sense he really is the best they can ask for. He have no particular ego so he's not gonna be tyrannical, but he's also strong enough to keep them in line if needed, and for a few of them (especially 002, 005, 006, and 008) the emotional connection is definitely there, and the trust is mutual, so ahakks. God I love them so much!!! My murder hobos.
god i need them all to find their peace. settle somewhere nice close to ijin's family. go out to murder shady people once in a while as enrichment and bonding activity.

rereading again and being reminded that the author really gave us one of the hottest scruffy older "uke" in a while (even though he's only like 25 lmao) without any plan of drawing him being in the throes of pleasure despite being pursued by a fucking vampire (easily the most erotic type of supernatural being) anytime soon... this feels like a prank like oh my god
i guess next "arc" is probably gonna be more about the immediate surrounding for ijin. i kinda missed the high school gang
