You settle on the best intelligence service in the world, CNN World News. The really nice thing about CNN is that it endlessly repeats every vague rumor and panic-smeared sightings, which is exactly the intel you need - panic-smeared half-glimpsed sightings are the entrails from which you divine Abyssal intentions, and more importantly it tells you where a show of force is needed as well as actual substantive patrols. The volume is at zero instead of Mute, you huff with annoyance and crank it up.

“-of starvation have abated in the last few weeks due to events Vietnamese fishermen are calling a 'miracle.' Many smaller villages on the Vietnamese coastline still rely on fishing as an important food source, and major factory fishing operations are a huge component of the Vietnamese export economy, earning the country over two billion dollars a year. Over twenty factory fishing vessels have been attacked since the beginning of the year, resulting in a dozen casualties and three sinkings. Despite assistance from the Russian government, including increased patrols by the Russian eastern fleet and the cheap sale of rocket artillery to the Vietnamese government, even locals practicing traditional fishing in small boats have been unwilling to venture out of harbor.”

The picture changes to a view of a busy Vietnamese fishing village; boats of every shape and size, from dirty little scows to brightly painted trawlers to traditional sampans, their characteristic fan-shaped sails handsome and exotic in the breeze as they tried to navigate a harbor absolutely stuffed with anchored vessels. An older, wizened fisherman appears on-screen, his face obscured by a digital distortion. The slick, slightly British accent of the translator follows his gruff words by a half-beat. “People sail out and don't come back. The military flies jets over the ocean all day, but at night the Gulf belongs to them again. Now they guard the rivers, and they tell us to sleep in shelters at night because the monsters shell the coastline. Look at us. Some of these villages float! There is nowhere to hide. Everyone is afraid.”

“But three weeks ago, all that changed.” The camera feed switches to a view of fisherman lined up on their knees in a large group, heads bowed before a hand-made tapestry depicting the silhouette of what looks like a warship. “Fisherman have reported witnessing many violent night battles just offshore; the sound of many guns firing and the muzzle flashes of same.” A grainy picture is shown; depicting little in the way of discernible details, but it does look like the muzzle flashes of a large warship at long distance. “Since the mysterious battles began, there has not been a single successful shelling of the Vietnamese shoreline. The government claims it's due to the stepped-up patrols and improved radar coverage implemented recently, but the fisherman have a different view - one not appreciated by the government.” The camera cuts to a woman this time, her face also pixelated. “It is the Ghost,” she says. “The Spirit, sent as our savior.”

“The communist government of Vietnam holds their country to be officially atheist, but despite decades of suppression, fully half the country still practices folk religions; ancient rites and rituals that date back thousands of years and are unique to Vietnam; sometimes unique to very small areas. Despite a lack of concrete evidence and government efforts to the contrary, the legend of the unseen protector is spreading fast. The locals have many names for it, but the internet has dubbed the mysterious vessel the Gray Ghost of the Vietnamese Coast. Defense experts have offered explanations ranging from uncontacted, independent kanmusu - a theory discounted by kanmusu experts - to experimental anti-abyssal weapon systems being used by the Russians against the abyssals in secret. Whatever it is, the fisherman trust it - they're setting sail once more.”

You grump. Translation - the Russians are stomping out the abyssals on Vietnam's behalf, with steel ships or girly ones, and keeping it under wraps as to not undermine the authority of the Vietnamese government - which also gives them a convenient lever against them later, should they choose to publicize their involvement. Slimy bastards. You recline a bit and twist your head to get the crick out of your neck as the next story comes on.

“-viral video of an intruder caught exiting the front doors of the Marintime Research Academy in Tokyo a few days ago. Officers responding to a burglar alarm encountered the masked, helmeted suspect and immediately called for backup.”

On the screen is a shaky cellphone video of riot-shield protected cops trying to surround a man in tactical body armor. He's in possession of one of their riot shields. As a tear gas canister flies through the air at him, something red blurs and sends the can flying back at the officers.

“With several million youtube hits and a growing number of musical parodies, the Tokyo Metropolitan police are increasingly frustrated with their inability to get any solid tips on the man's identity.”

As you watch, CNN switches to another clip - the 'man' standing by a Japanese police SWAT van; the side sporting several asian-sized dents. Now in possession of two riot shields - one strapped to his back - the suspect tucks his cracked red whiffle bat under one arm long enough to produce a can of silver spray paint to hose his face down with. A second after striking a good, long pose for the cell phone cameras, he resumes his pursuit of the hapless municipal police, who flee from his mad, high-pitched laughter like sparrows from a hawk.

“A reward of one thousand dollars is being offered. The Metropolitan Police are also reminding people that failure to report the suspect, or those giving aid to the suspect may be charged as aiding and abetting terrorists under new security laws passed last year.”

Still saying Newport News. Why? Because the #2 gun in her #2 turret exploded on the firing line off the Vietnam coast when an 8" shell detonated prematurely.
>>
On 19 December 1967, Newport News exchanged fire with 20–28 separate shore batteries, simultaneously, off the coast of North Vietnam. During the short period of this engagement, over 300 enemy rounds bracketed the cruiser's position, but she suffered no direct hits. This encounter led American forward observers to nickname Newport News "The Gray Ghost from the East Coast," a moniker she retained throughout her three Vietnam deployments.

Your phone chirps brightly while you're still rubbing away the budding headache. Muting the TV, you unlock the screen and find a new message from Naka.

“Still want me as your secretary?”

You ponder this missive for a moment before replying.

“Depends. With Iwo being invaded we're short on coastal patrols.”

A second later her reply buzzes onto your screen. "Well, you've got a few CLs lying around. Sendai's pretty eager, but I don't know how she'd take to patrol duty."

You smirk as you tap out your reply - nice try, kiddo. “Patrols report first and engage second. Sendai's too BANZAI and Jintsuu tends to Light Up The Night.”

Her reply shows up a moment later - girl can work a smartphone pretty handily for being born in the 40s. “If you want me dead you could just order it, Settle.”

A moment passes as you consider your reply, then your phone chimes again.

“All right, sure.”

[ ] Go through with it - put her in the patrol duty rotation. You know she's not fully repaired yet - Wainwright told you as much - but you're starting to fear that the wounds will never heal here on base.
[ ] Tell her to be in the office on Monday. If she's willing to volunteer, someone will put her on light duty patrol rotation sooner or later, and you'll lose your chance to kidnap her for your own divisions once she's fully healed. Love, war, fairness, etc.
[ ] Put her on harbor patrol duty rotation - she can do her secretary thing during normal working hours, you can force her to socialize with select people by assigning them to the same duty at times, and it keeps her out of that fucking sterile room.

Building a ship to win the very same sort of battle that saw the Solomons devour cruisers at an alarming rate, since the fast-firing CLs didn't have the range to hammer Japanese ships before they fired their Type 93s, and the CAs couldn't fire rapidly enough to hit the violently-maneuvering ships. "Well, fuck, we'll just build a CA that fires as fast as the CLs can!" (BuOrd also developed a less-successful autoloader for the 6"/47... it was intended to let CLs use their main batteries for air defense and hopefully hit German bombers before they released their Fritz-X's.)

Yes, I know, that sort of battle had ended by mid-1943 and gun cruisers were largely obsolete for surface warfare after that. Remember the proud military tradition of always preparing for the LAST war you fought...

Because it worked. It worked very well, fighting with our most effective weapon against superior numbers, armor, and guns. I might not... like... Sendai's methods, but they did the job.

We still lost--and looking back, it's hard not to feel like we always would have--but we employed what we could. For me--I always had this kind of bone-deep feeling of weariness, like it was over. I was around since the 20s, don't forget. I saw the fall.

It worked rather well against the Russians at the battle of Tsushima - the night engagement portion where all the little torpedo boats savaged everything that was still afloat - so the Japanese decided to optimize that since it was the more effective portion of the overall engagement.

Hm. I had forgotten the hydrophones, true.

And, thinking further on it, I realize that I forgot to account for much of the tactical differences between surface torpedo boats and submarines.

In that realization, I no longer struggle to understand the tactics used. They are indeed the best fit for the situation.

Thank you for enlightening me. I'm rather Roman in my focus and preference for land warfare.

problem is that there's no money for repairs or staff, so they can only be open on the weekends, which means that there's even less money for staff and repairs.

“It's settled then,” you tap out. “Afternoon harbor patrol rotation. Insert setting sun joke here.”

“Baby steps, hmm? I can mop rain and lay out some shore line for you too.”

You snigger to yourself as you type back - she's a witty little devil, but sometimes that quickdraw paints her into a corner.

“Have you ever had so many available comebacks that you literally couldn't choose one”

As usual, her reply is swift.

“Harder was bad but with you I needed to laminate a decision tree”

You giggle to yourself like a wicked little troll, unholy glee filling your dark soul. “like shooting fish into a harbor huh”

“i'm not wearing fish nets for you Admiral”

Your giggles get even stronger. “Mers el kek-bir is safe under your watch huh”

“another harbor reference? And here I thought you wanted my long pale beaches like a classy gent”

“no man is an island but my condition is Terminal”

An almost tangible pause - you can imagine her Googling it.

“so you want to do me prison st”

You hold your breath, tense with anticipation expectation.

“fuck”

Shoukaku and Hamp enter the room in time to watch you slide out of your easy chair, laughing so hard you can barely breathe. Your phone falls to the carpet next to you and buzzes again.

“fuck”

You pick it up and manage to type shakily: “bollio in being sunk at anchor”

“dick butt”

Shoukaku and Hamp are giving you strange looks, but you have no time for them, laughing until the edges of your vision go dark, laughing until you literally can't breathe.

God bless the kid.

Your phone vomits kitties and rainbows at you--as designed--chirping cutely and merrily and horribly from across the room as your alarm goes off. You stumble right past it, already awake, like you have been the last six hours. Your eyes--dull, lightless, ringed with bleary red eyelids and black bags--seem alien to you as you blink dumbly into the mirror, ungracefully scratching yourself, one earbud swaying back and forth from your neck.

The noise kept you up last night. How could you have gotten any sleep? You give yourself a heart attack before checking the date--the concert is still a ways off--and you make a mental note to be better about tracking the time. It's just been so hard lately. You're so tired. Teetering back and forth in the shower, your head bows low, occasionally bumping against the tile wall, the faint machine-gun plings of water on the metal fittings pattering through your brain softly, giving you white noise that nearly sees you pass out naked and standing.

Makeup is a challenge--you're needing more and more foundation to cover up the bags and bruises, without looking any different--but you manage. Your arm is sluggish and unresponsive, grinding in unpleasant circles beneath your hasty patch bandaging. You're just on your way to go give Sendai an earful about her destroyer lesson when your phone buzzes.

>It's Shigure.
>I'd like to talk, please.

You suppress a wince as you sit--somewhere in the last three days, you managed to bruise your ass. Shigure doesn't notice, twirling her braid between her fingers, looking half apologetic, half defensive. And all regretting her decision to contact you.

"I just want you to know," she begins, trying to put enough force into her words to push them up the hill, bolster her confidence with volume to see her way to the end of the sentence. "I want you to know I'm... sorry. And I know you'd tell me not to be. And I'm grateful. But--" You sit back and motion for her to finish--the casual gesture imparts just enough aloofness to irritate her, so she can get her sentence out. "But you still don't know the first thing about me or what I go through, and I resent that you even pretend."

You positively beam at that, all sun and cheer. Way ahead of you, Shigure. You resent you for pretending all the time. "I don't know, I did some homework before I came to see you, you know."

Shigure bristles, clenching her fists. "No amount of 'homework' is going to make you understand what it's like, Naka! I--" She takes a breath and steadies herself. "I'm grateful, okay? I'm not... blaming you, or running away from what I've said and done, but--but you can't possibly know. I don't want you to act like you do. It... hurts."

You've got a feeling you know where this is going. "Can you tell me why?" you ask, with concern--that lofty, utterly alien, utterly untouched concern that you've seen helicopter moms burble over bombings a world away. "I'd like to understand, if I can."

He first showed up doing godforsaken terrible write-ups for AI-Quest.
The first three chapters? The pastebins are dead, but his fourth attempt at a write up and onwards, they still exist.
Here: http://pastebin.com/rPfHLVnB
Two years, and his quality is the same, if not actually degraded, despite people offering help and advice.
"dyslexia" he claims, while his write-ups for AI Quest had far fewer spelling errors.

fluffbringer doesn't write to improve, he wants attention.
It's why he and Crix are one and the same. Attention whores looking for validation.

Shigure smiles bitterly. "I know you would. That... kind of makes it worse. You're just so--happy, you know? Everyone loves you. You're the 'fleet's idol!' Then the Americans came in, and suddenly you're Yokosuka's golden girl. Again! Shaking hands! Burying the war we all died in!" The bitterness and grief comes out in full as she spits the last. "The war I should have stayed dead in."

It's not hard to affect sympathy for someone very clearly wrestling with the same serpents eagerly (and successfully) dragging you down to the depths. "Please don't talk about yourself like that, Shigure. I promise--"

"What? You'll kiss me and brush my hair and make things alllllll better?" she growls, tears starting to brim again. This time, the anger masks fear--of herself. Of the unspoken dread that brought her to try to push you away.

"--That I understand," you reply, your voice as sharp and flat as a sword's edge. The sudden absence of cloying sweetness takes Shigure aback like you just slapped her in the face. You lean forward in your chair, palms pressing down gently on the table. "Like I said, I did my homework. Settle told me what happened, and the truth is... I've been feeling pretty blue lately, too."

Shigure's eyes widen, not missing your choice of words. "Wh--what?"

You lean in to occupy the space across the table as Shigure retreats back into her chair. "You've felt it too, haven't you, Shigure? That's right, Settle told me everything. Every last little thing."

"Naka--"

"That warm light...comforting you, inviting you back home, where you came from." Your shoulders tense as your smile widens, not having to force the slight shaking overcoming your body. Your bruises and aches seem to fade as you push further, your voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "Together, you and I--we could break out before anyone knew what was happening."

Shigure's pupils have contracted, shrinking with her presence as the chair legs scrape the concrete floor, screeching off the walls as you stand, leaning low and predatory as you hear your voice continue on.

"We could reach the water, and they'd never catch us. By the time they had shells downrange, we'd be in the fog. And THEY would be waiting for us. They would know--they always seem to know, don't they?"

She's shaking now, her fitout coming up defensively, even as you can practically feel the itching on your spine, the cerulean fingers wrapping around you, wisps of blue fog rolling from your mouth with each breath, tendrils of frost gracefully spiraling out across the surface of the table as the noise begins to thud in the absence between every heartbeat, Her voice calling over the toneless wails, COME BACK TO US.

"Shigure..." you murmur, closing your eyes and taking a deep breath, slowly letting the Blue go. "...Where is your main gun pointed right now?"

"Please," she begs, her anguish helping draw you back to earth, "Please, don't make me, not after..."

You open your eyes, and it's gone, warmth and color returning to the room, the air, to you. And tucked under your chin, across the table's length, Shigure has manifested her main battery again, trembling fingers clasped around the trigger.

You smile again--a real smile, tired and hollow though it is. "I told you I understand," you reply.

Shigure is left in total silence, crying again, as the exhaustion drapes around you again, swirling around your head, nearly making you woozy. "...Why?" She finally asks, her voice small and scared.

"I told you," you reply. "I can't fix you. But I can help you. Yesterday I showed you that you don't want to kill. Today, all I did was show you what you're not. You're not one of them."

You pull yourself back upright, nearly wobbling in place, your head suddenly feeling simultaneously pressed between a vice and three sizes too big. "I didn't have someone to show me who I was, Shigure. That's why I understand. That's why I want to help."

You manage to keep your head up until the door swings shut behind you, leaving her stunned in her voluntary prison. Your head droops, shoulders going slack--just for a moment, just to gather your energy, then you can go back to your room--

"Naka-san?" You place the voice as Yuudachi, just mustering the strength to turn your head up to see her with one eye. "Are you... are you okay? Is Shigure..."

She keeps talking, but you don't hear her, one leg trembling as you try to shift your weight and pull yourself back upright. Her eyes are bright, but troubled--her lips move, unimportant sounds droning out, hiding the real ones. Doesn't she realize? She doesn't. That's what this is.

"--like, just want to make sure she's okay, and really, are you okay--"

"It was a sail, Yuudachi."

She goes dead, all color draining from her face. "What?"

"It was a sail and everyone knows it."

Yuudachi flinches as if struck.

"So if Harder gives you any trouble--just--just come find me, okay?" you murmur, tongue suddenly feeling fat, as you stumble towards your quarters-room-bed, ignoring the sound of Yuudachi beginning to cry at your back.

Idly, some half-dead section of your brain fishes out your phone, thumb languidly flicking through your contacts to RADM SETTLE.

>just made two destroyers cry in one go. beat that.

A moment later, a ping back as you trudge, almost shoulderchecking into the stairs.

>my record is all of desdiv 6 at once. nice try, girly.

You snort at that, fumbling and pawing at your door unsuccessfully for an embarrassingly long amount of time.

>desdiv 6 only counts as one, you get one and all of them start.

You're about to hit the 'send' key when you accidentally push into the doorknob before turning it all the way, hitting yourself in the gut. You stumble into the room, fall to your knees, and retch, something slick and dark and cold splashing across your knees and palms.

You totter back upright, phone buzzing forgotten in the spreading pool, glistening blue-black in the dim light.

The easiest way? Maybe pick something small, out of the way. A ensign or jg on a working party in a ghost fleet ship, maybe, or working at PSNY. Something that's not only not hugely major, but he can do without having to worry too much about weather or not Planefag can, from his lofty throne, declare it canon or not.

He could do a fireteam of marines aboard a ship in taskforce Iwo, before the invasion of the island. He could even do a slice of life piece with some out of the way ships we haven't seen (and aren't likely to at this point- a couple noname destroyers, maybe)

He could do a piece with welders and shipfitters in a yard, he could do a piece with squids on a ship on war patrol, he could do a piece with pilots out on maratime patrol near a coast, or coasties in a bar reminiscing about guys they knew on the Sherman. He could do a lot of small shit like that-

Instead we get, as anon put it, Ikea porn, futa comissions, and strawpolls desperately begging for attention.

Try to give each of your characters a tone. Each has favourite words, ways of building a sentence, rhythms of speech, general vocabulary. Contractions are usually a sign of a more down-to-earth person, while rarely using them normally gives a tone of sophistication.

In other words, imagine how they would speak, and write it out.

Ideally, they should all have significant differences, reflecting their personalities and origins. Commonalities can used to indicate similar upbringings, cultural topos or close relationships.

Yuudachi's "sail" has always been a point of contention among historians. Some people thought it was the crew trying to surrender, since a white cloth is generally the universal sign of surrender. Portland allegedly fired on and sank Yuudachi without warning or bothering to check for survivors, which would have been a war crime.

On the other hand, the surviving crew of Yuudachi (who had abandoned ship long before Portland found her), claim that that the "sail" wasn't an attempt to surrender, but was used as an actual sail to eke out some emergency propulsion since Yuudachi's boilers were shot out.

One easier method I've found with the shipgirls as an example is that you have a wealth (or only a few snippets) of history in their service record. Dig deeper, you find what groups they were with, who some of their more famous sailors were, and their experiences in the war.

So you can cherry-pick or churn that all together into a pot, see how a character with certain experiences would react to a given stimulus. For instance, the Ten-Go girls were annihilated by countless planes. Some of the DDs might flinch and hide from a commercial airliner if they're still getting used to things while others might try to shoot them down. You play with 'what-if' scenarios, see what jives the most and what feels human.

You make a very good point, Venom.
prospective writefags can also use hints or little tidbits from the ship's history to designate designs, such as how graf wears glasses because her rangefinder is still in montevideo. (although, she had a very low profile, and therefore a pretty poor range for the time, even when she had rangefinders....)

2% planefag writing

that works thanks
>>
>>44355542
Crix is funny because he claimed nobody ever helps him with his writing, but he has repeatedly gotten defensive whenever help is provided. He is such a sperg that anything remotely critical about his work passed in private usually results in him firing back an insult at the help he personally requested for.

I hope he never leaves as well, because he is the definition of an asshole who can't take his own medicine without running off, and it's hilarious. Every time, without fail, he goes crying into the arms of the one guy who has repeatedly tried to have faith that, somewhere behind his toxic bullshit, there's a writer struggling to break out.

You're already a meme, boss

when I saw that guy on SB unironically quote halley's "lol 1000% canon" statement and then add "by word of planefag" to it I spent 20 minutes trying to write a post calling him a fucking idiot and then I didn't post it because there was no way I could express my true feelings without getting infraction points for it

You know the whole 'crossing the line twice' thing in comedy? The stupidity has crossed the line once, and now we're deep into 'its not funny anymore' territory. I'm holding out for the second line-crossing where it becomes hilarious again. We're in the comedy donut hole, just hang tight

He's put it best himself over on his ask- basically that he was only writing it to attention-whore, and when it wasn't getting attention that was that. As far as I understand it at least, that was before my time.

Wait, didn't Yuudachi's crew say that it was a sail and not a white flag? The fuck's she crying about?

d u d e

>>44355978

But then wouldn't she be reassured by the "it was a sail and everyone knows it" line? Why'd she start to cry?
>>
>>44355994

i am fucking going to bed holy shit
>>
>>44355994
I think she'd prefer that they didn't know she raised it in the first place.

(Also, it was totally a flag.)
>>
>>44356001
did we pissed off planefag?
>>
>>44355941
Gnarly. Well from this anons point of view your not as bad as fluff and you don't shitpost like crix so....win?
>>
>>44356028
Yes, he just put on twitter hes dropping the quest forever because he cant handle the bantz. We killed SWQ and we killed KCQ.
>>
>>44356011

But if she maintained that it was a sail, then why would she care about people knowing it was "raised" other than that a bunch of people think it was a surrender flag (which Naka's statement should have reassured her was not the case)?

Unless she thinks that that means that everyone who claimed it was a surrender flag was only doing so to irritate her? That's honestly the only reason I can think of for that statement making her cry.

I'm not trying to be dense or anything here, this is genuinely confusing the hell out of me.

That was both an emotional and defining moment of her life, given it's both the high point and the low point of her life, where she died the first time, and the inspiration for her POIs.

It's entirely understandable that maybe she doesn't want to be reminded of it.
>>
Beyond the obvious reasons, there's another 'why' as to Naka not going back to the abyssals.

her counterpart would devour her
>>
>>44356107

...fuck.

My brain's still saying that it doesn't make sense (if it inspired her POIs then shouldn't she be reminding herself of it every time she POIs, shouldn't she be relieved that people don't see her as dying like a coward, etc etc) but I think I'm getting it now.

Thanks for taking the time and effort to help out a dense-as-fuck anon, mate.
>>
>>44356155
Yes, and? Suicidal thoughts don't just "go away", dude. Even if she's trying to claw back into a semblance of a life that others depend on, 'you're going to miss him' is a flag.
I hope Wainwright makes house calls.
>>
>>44356172
What does that have to do with anything?
>>
>>44356180
Well, in response to his reasoning that it would be a suicidal action and thus not something she would do.

>>44356163
>My brain's still saying that it doesn't make sense but I think I'm getting it now.

Since when did PTSD/people's response to emotional trauma make sense?

I'm the same person. "Beyond the obvious reasons."

There's a visceral difference between the terror levels of simply ending and otherwise.

yep, Poi, which means something like like or ish, is a reference to how difficult is to assign her any kills in her final battle. She might have been the most successful combatant the IJN had, or she might have literally no hits to her name.

You say this as if people don't cry from relief.

That's more how Naka's exchange with Yuudachi here came across to me. Yuudachi has a serious complex over the whole flag/sail business. It's not simply about cowardice, but about honoring the rules of war. The "sail" business is such a big deal because, apparently, Yuudachi continued firing ships after raising the white fabric in question. The US ships thought it was a flag of surrender, so when she kept fighting that was a pretty fucking big breach of accepted rules of warfare. It seemed to be a despicable underhanded tactic preying upon the civility of the USN; hence why the Portland's captain was so vehement about sinking her even though she was apparently flying the white flag.

The Japanese story is that she hadn't raised a flag of surrender, but rather a makeshift sail to keep fighting when her boiler was shot out, and the Americans were misunderstanding when they thought it was a white flag. It's something of a he-said-she-said scenario here, so nobody really knows for sure what the truth of the matter was. (This ambiguity, plus the ambiguity in her kill count as >>44356361 mentions, is where the "poi" tic comes from, overusing a particle that indicates uncertainty or approximation in normal use.)

If it was a white flag, she didn't simply surrender, she FAKED a surrender in order to stab the Americans in the back when they honored it. If it was a makeshift sail, she was just mustering all she had to go down in a blaze of glory. She's worried that people think it's the former. Reading a bit into her "poi" tic, it could even be that Yuudachi doubts herself, due to hazy memories post-revival or just second-guessing. Naka reassures her that nobody doubts her integrity, nobody thinks she's a craven cheat, and she'll stick up for Yuudachi if anyone says otherwise. That's a huge relief, and people will certainly cry over that.
>>
>>44356523
That's rather generous. Personally I think it's more likely that Naka was being sarcastic, given how he's had problems acting like an abyssal.
>>
>>44356586
she's also shown a genuine interest to try and help the other girls. She saw straight through Yuudachi's mask to the uncertainty about herself underneath.
>>
>>44356586
Naka was there to help Shigure. And she did. She's got plenty of her own issues she needs to deal with, but all of Naka's interaction with Shigure just now was helping Shigure to start overcoming her fears and insecurities. Not spitefully jabbing at them.

It would've been a complete 180 for Naka to be mentioning the sail sarcastically. Not to mention it wouldn't really fit the tone of the whole exchange, which ends:
>"So if Harder gives you any trouble--just--just come find me, okay?" you murmur

That does not at all read like a sarcastic offer, and I'm pretty sure the writefag's competent enough not to bungle the intended tone so completely.
