Writer’s Notes

Hi! Thanks for reading! Some people asked for Team Ruki’s interactions, so I think it’ll be neat to write this fic. Thanks for being interested in them! Team Ruki’s backstory used to be random, free-floating episodes, so I’m happy that I can finally string them into one linear story with this fic. Hope that it’s enjoyable and that you had fun reading it!
