Idk why but not having originium visible on Amiya always bothers me more than when it happens to any other operator. I think it is cause her main outfits throughout the game all very deliberately cover the areas we know her growths are worst at. She clearly puts in an intentional effort to cover that for the sake of making her job easier. It is a neat bit of characterisation playing into Amiya's need to hide her flaws and fears of not being taken seriously by the people she interacts with.

Amiya clearly feels angry that she has to do this to be taken seriously, she defines herself a lot by being infected, but it is a part of her character. So having her have sleeveless outfits *without originium showing* bothers me. I do think I would like it if she gets a future outfit that is sleeveless, and shows her originium growths have gotten worse than they were before. But it could work with Amiya becoming more confident as a leader and less insecure to have her be more willing to show that she is infected even at a glance.

➡️ Not every medium of fiction and storytelling has or is expected to have content warnings or extensive tagging.

➡️ Print novels do not traditionally warn for content in any way.

➡️ Until AO3 came along, fanfiction did not traditionally warn for content in any significant way.

➡️ An author is only obligated to warn for content to the degree mandated by the format they publish their fiction on.

➡️ Content warnings beyond the minimum are a courtesy, not an obligation.

➡️ 'Creator chose not to warn' is a valid tag that authors are allowed to use on AO3. It means there could be anything in there and you have accepted the risk. 'May contain peanuts!'

➡️ Writers are allowed to use 'Creator chose not to warn' for any reason, including to maintain surprise and avoid spoilers.

➡️ 'Creator chose not to warn' is not the same thing as 'no archive warnings apply'.

➡️ It is your responsibility to protect yourself and close a book, or hit the back button if you find something in fiction that you're reading that upsets you.
