I originally started to write this as a quick and dirty backstory for Latte, which explained why she was chosen as Benji’s mentor, and why she behaves the way she does. Once I started writing, however, it was like some floodgate opened and now I have a full blown setting and story arc in my head. I’d love to turn it into a comic, but I don’t think I have the patience for that, so I’m giving serious thought about turning it into a multi-chapter illustrated fanfic, with the occasional comic for fun.

In any case, here’s the first piece of lore, possibly with more to come. The story continues under the cut, with potential spoilers for down the line - and please forgive the melodrama!
