Yikes. With that in mind, you weren't doing too bad. I mean, it wasn't hard to follow.

In hindsight, "hereditary" isn't quite the right word for it, but yes, Reimu's situation is very similar to Sakura's in some respects. If they met, they would have many notes to compare.

These three are all a bit... odd by the standards of regular combat witches, which is a thing I'm hoping to get the chance to explore further as we go. I'm actually working on an interstitial right now that will slot into one of the time skips in Sea Trials (similar to the way "Late for Work" fits into GG1/V), which will make a start on that, since I suspect everyone is going to be too busy for those matters to get much screen time in Fighting Fleet 3.

To be fair, I think I did sort of sprain something doing it; it's taken me two weeks (admittedly two fairly fraught weeks) to get back into the saddle in any meaningful way. :/
