The fic revamp was mostly regarding Joseph, as I've debated with myself for a quite while about what gender I give them bc ngl I've been inconsistent about it for a while, so I've decided she's now a trans woman going by Jo (she/her pronouns)! I've revised Chapter 1 a little bit, revising and inserting little details regarding Jo, so if you have the time, I'd be happy if you can reread it, alongside Chapter 2!

Other than that, here are a bunch of outfits I've visualized for Shimazaki and Minegishi throughout the second chapter! I was having a little difficulty describing them in prose, but I hope these doodles can somehow help :,D

I hope you enjoy the second chapter!!

Image 1:  An illustration of a fem Shimazaki Ryou, where we get a view of her toned, scarred back. She turns her head to the side, a little demurely, while clearly sweaty as hair sticks damp onto her skin. She feels up her arm, while the minidress she was trying on is put haphazardly on herself and completely open from her tailbone, showing the backside of her bra as well. She stands in front of a mirror, and it seems she's inside a fitting room.

Image 2:  A different angle of the first image, this time showing fem Minegishi behind Shimazaki inside the fitting room in a low angle. Minegishi zips up her open dress delicately while looking away, mad blushing and sweating from nervousness.

Image 1:  Doodle of fem Shimazaki and Minegishi in conceptualized outfits for the fanfic. Shimazaki wears a white shirt, tucked under dark skinny jeans. She has a body bag on herself, white shoes, and a messy low ponytail, as she has a wolf cut and a bunch of tiny hairs escape from the tie. Minegishi appears a little more dressed, wearing a black turtleneck with mid-arm sleeves, tucked under brown slacks and topped with a floral crop top. They wear a sling bag going from their shoulder across their body, and a light-colored converse for shoes.

Disclaimer: Fanbook ages for ShimaMine is used here, timeskipped to 8 years; making Shimazaki 38 and Minegishi 27. No romantic involvement or references are made between the two of them during Claw, and all romance will happen strictly during the current timeline I have put them in.

Summary: Coworker that went MIA for eight years and you have assumed dead ever since, comes back so casually right before your eyes — and she's hotter than ever before. / You return from your years long hiatus — and somehow you are still doing worse than everyone.
