Akane could only stare at her bright self. Hamuko was shining like a star there, laughing and alive in a way no one who has passed away would be. She herself stood at the precipice of unknown after all, guaging her circumstances and the soul that was attached to her. She had barely any memory of her. She didn't even know what her name was except-
She had a heart.
She would like to think its similar to Hamuko.
"...a whole webpage?!" Akane's eyes widen at the idea. She could code something like that in mere seconds honestly but the idea of it was definitely unique. “Oh—oh, I could add one of those alpha wolf memes! You know, the ones with the dramatic lighting and all-caps fonts about strength and dominance.” Her voice took on a faux-serious tone as she continued, “Really lean into the brooding aesthetic. Maybe throw in some unnecessary static effects—make it look like it’s hacking your screen when you open it.”
She was already lost in the concept, muttering about UI elements and whether a black-and-red color scheme was too dramatic, completely unaware that Hamuko was still talking.
Until she caught up.
Her head snapped up, taken aback by mild confusion. “Wait.” She tilted her head, processing. “You… bust kneecaps?”
Zenkichi, who had been quietly watching this whole exchange, took exactly two seconds before exhaling deeply."She's not going to teach you how to bust kneecaps, Akane."
"Oh come on!" She swiftly turns over, one hand on the side of the couch. "Did she tell you that?"
"No," Wolf simply grinned. "I decided it."
Akane's gaze narrowed down on him.
"Okay but maybe, hypothetically,” she asked, eyes glowing with intrigue as Zenkichi's grin fell into mild exasperation, “do you have, like… an established technique for this? Or is it more of a freestyle kind of thing?”
