There’s a kick every time Tomoki drinks something while working on a manuscript or whenever he’s wrangling ideas. Drinks tend to have a scale that goes something like this:  It gives him enough motivation to finish whatever he’s working on or it makes him fall asleep instead.  Except tea doesn’t quite give him the same kick as anything else. These days, it feels a...

Dan teaches him how to make dango, which then obviously means that he comes knocking on his door again because now he’s curious about how mochi is made. To Tomoki, it was only a matter of time to get nosy about it. After all, he sees the mochi often enough to pique his curiousity. It’s free food and he’s on decent terms with Dan.  That’s why he’s knocking at night rather than during the day.  ...

Tomoki isn’t exactly new to the Heavenly Embassy, rather, he simply never comes to visit because there’s nothing here for him. Sure there’s knowledge but that’s inherently everywhere. And from his experiences, aside from Dove, the other Cherubuns don’t know him well enough or would care.  So he calls this a supposed visit of sorts.

Tomoki has a thing for imps now, he quickly learns after adopting his first Impup. Technically,  they’re called JK because he can’t find another name or one that rolls off the tongue. Apparently it can also be interpreted as ‘just kidding’ which is honestly quite fitting.  The thing is, he’s begun to realize, is that JK is fantastic ...

To say that Tomoki is fond of imps is a bit of a strange statement. For his lack of social life to some extent, having a pet in any circumstance would make his life better. That’s why he goes to bother Hutch, not for any reason but for the sheer fact that he’s curious for which one would fit his lifestyle the best.  Or maybe he’ll eventually collect them all to make up for his lack of friends. It sounds like a ...

Tomoki will do many things to get a social life and for writing purposes. If it means some more uncomfortable situations then so be it. It’s how he finds himself in The Rabbit Hole, this time, not to learn how to make drinks but to serve others instead. It’s good socialization for someone like him.  Or that’s the excuse he’s sticking with.  What he wasn’t in for...

“Do you ever relax?” Shibani asks him in a way that cuts through the haze. “Or are you always this tense?”  “I’m thinking,” Tomoki replies easily. Really he’s attempting to rest again. Call it a way to work around his burnout since taking a nap is the only way that he can even stop thinking about what he needs to do.�...
