Artist: Kiriu (Eng. Colorful Cube)

(For context, Kirui, the retainer and close personal friend of Ryune, is Aro/Ace. She isn't repulsed, but also this kind of thing has happened more than once over the years they've known each other. The running joke between them is that either Kirui asks why no one invited her or Ryune asks if she'd like to join in. Also they may have a code from Ryune's U Tribe days for when the person Ryune is with is a problem and Kirui will come in like an angry, jilted lover to make them leave.)

Being demi myself sometimes I feel like I don't count enough to be included but seeing other demi folks out there its like ye I count I'm here too!

I feel that maybe Statice is slightly terrified of losing the people she's connected with after being alone so long
