While I thought the Orochi was going to manifest from inside either Torahiko, Nanafuse, or Hiroki, I didn't expect it to be a representation of all bad experiences from the alternate timelines.
The Orochi seems to be a time paradox. Its a combination of alternate timelines that is literally destroying the world. Either that or its psychological attack involves delving into the targets mind, even the subconcious. Which is it?

Glad to hear I did manage to surprise people that way.

Which is it? I'll never te... Oh, ok, I'll delve more into this, but in the next round of Notes. Deal?

Very well. I eagerly await both the next note collection and chapter.

Wait, it's over? NOOOOO! I wanted those last 3 storylines so badly!

Your story makes up for it though Great as usual.

To the first: yeah, unfortunately. I do wish they'd at least release all of the unused material, if only to see what we'd have.

And man, I know! I so wanted Torahiko and Soutarou's stories, and am still wondering just what would have happened in Koyuji's.

But to the second, thank you very much!
