Ah, another "connections" chapter. I like these. I'm a sucker for "good kid just wants to be normal" stories, so of course my heart went out to Mutsumi-chan and her desire to play with the human kids. While it was great that the adults helped her have a fun Halloween, I can still hope she gets to have some human friends, right? BTW, I also had the "scary monster form costume" gag spotted.
However, despite all the slice of life funzies, I do have a worry. Goro has gone from the Glasses Incident to Kogane being sick to hectic and long work days. Goro said he felt like he was running on fumes, and, even though he has a great support network around him at home and at work, I worry he's gonna crash out sooner rather than later. Fingers crossed he'll get to recharge his batteries before that happens. Thanks as always to sarusa and thumper.
