Bath on the second floor in a world where there is no indoor plumbing. I had once read that having your bath on one of the upper floors was in the design of wealthier houses because the family occupied the upper stories privately, while the ground floor was used for utilitarian purposes and for...

He is a soldier and is trained to go along, so maybe that's part of it. In the earlier chapters there are times when you see him relying on his military training on indoctrination. When a superior offers you something you're only answer is yes. When addressing a superior you should stand. Things...

"Wouldn't that make him look like a nerd?" She says that like it's a bad thing . . .

I hadn't thought of that angle, but this is a valid interpretation. Also scary for him.

She needs a convenient homonculus to posead the Dead Witch of the Forest. Finding a body would explain why the fog dispelled. Perhaps an impenetrable ward around the house, and the body outside it would protect the house from looting while convincing people that the threat of the witch is gone.

"Because their intelligence is limited and they can only give birth to females of their kind, they are mandated to be put under human control for use either as manual labor or as cherished pets." I just realized that this implies that there are no males of the rabbit species. Therefore the only...

Sora experienced fear of death for the first time, and learned that it is a terrible thing. She decided to reform her life because of that knowledge. Sylpha now has learned the pain of loss from death, and learned that it's a terrible thing. She also understands that she brought that pain to...

Kitty! Nothing like a kitty to bring out the humanity of a person

They look like stuff for kidnapping. Taser, rope, and tape.

There's a lot of TNT. This might be measured as 1.5 to 2 kilotons maybe? 🤔. "Little Boy" was 15 kilotons. It's a crap load of explosive force, and the shockwave alone can pulp flesh and organs some distance away.

I am suddenly reminded that the other homunculi had been on a mission to return the ring to a grave long ago. I don't know if they had any orders to rendezvous with Sato afterwards. Without some guidance, I can see them getting into all kinds of trouble.
