Ooh! it got even better! The toxins are burning my mouth very pleasantly! Now I really wanna know the fallout and what each character respectively thinks about these events.
The big question here I guess is that what kind of aftercare Misa will give. She's a bit cold and not that good with consent, but at the same time she genuinely cares about Io. How much of this was just non-negotiated roleplay? What do both of these two think about it? Can't wait for the next chapter!
Edit: It's really apparent that Io is very turned on about how Misa treats her in this chapter. She's flushed and breathing hard when she prostrates herself and licks Misa's feet. Punishment makes her feel good and both of them are very aware of this.
While the relationship between Io and Misa isn't exactly the model of healthy relationships irl (like the way this started was with nonconsensual somnophilia, which really is sexual assault), Misa gives Io agency in a way that Hase never will, at least voluntarily. But on the flipside, Misa is also explicitly trying to manipulate Io in order to keep Io hers... Goddamn I love very questionable relationships in fiction, and this one's got layers.
