While translating this one, I searched what the proper way to write a sneeze was, which led me to discover that sneezing fetish is a thing. One of the first results was a forum for it. It was surprising. I don't judge though. I just wonder if the author also has one?

Thanks for the chapter!
I still think it's kinda morbid that people would say 'Bless you' as in 'God bless you' because it was back when the Black Plague was a big thing, sneezing was one of the main preliminary symptoms. So it's like: God Bless You, may He prevent you from dying of sickness.

I'm pretty sure diseases were always problem, not just during Black Plague, and wanting to be healthy was one of the most common wishes during thousands of years history of humanity. So I don't really see any problem with "Bless you", and I'm quite doubtful of your story binding it to Plagues specifically.

In my country, people say "Na zdrowie" which translates to "For/to your health" in English when someone sneezes, because sneezing is potential symptom of illness, so obviously people would wish you health when you sneeze.

There are also some countries which you don't say anything, Japan for instance has that when people sneeze you just don't say anything. You also don't blow your nose in public as well however.
