tsugumi is a very kind and gentle girl, soft spoken and always eager to make the people around her happy!

at least before her time with the reapers and losing her soul. after that, she's more quiet and distant, unlike her usual self…

when tsugumi and you start dating, she's still a reaper in shinjuku! the two of you meet within the reaper's game and soon fall in love, until you manage to become a reaper yourself!

the days in shinjuku are the happiest you ever had, often finding free time between missions and the reaper's game to spend time together

thanks to being friends with shiba and some other high ranking reapers, tsugumi and you often get put together on missions and get to spend more time together!

things only go south for you when moving to shibuya. when tsugumi loses her soul, you remain by her side, desperately trying to protect your girlfriend

tsugumi isn't herself anymore, but you are convinced she can be safe! and that deep down, she never stopped loving you!

when her soul is finally restored, your relationship is back to its usual ways. no, it's even better than before!

after all, the reaper's game is over and for the foreseeable future, the two of you get to live a relatively normal life in shibuya, exploring the place and finding new spots for dates

I thought Natural Puppy's delightful and angelic dresses would look perfect on them, so have some girlfriends going on a shopping date!

I've made sooo many tweaks to Tsugumi's face and I just can't get it to look right, so please accept my offering.

summary: after months of being an empty husk, tsugumi finally regains her soul and reunites with you...

“is it… really you?”

for months now, tsugumi hadn't been herself anymore. the girl you loved was still there, but the part that made her her wasn't there anymore. until finally, she was back to her usual self, yet you couldn't quite believe it.

“i'm so sorry…” tsugumi took a small step forward and cupped your cheeks. “i– i tried to call out to you, tell you i was still there, but… my voice never reached you.”

you softly shook your head, before resting your hands on tsugumi's, watching as she hopefully looked up at you.

“no, it's not your fault, tsu–” you assured her, leaning in a little closer. “i'm just… so happy to have you back right now…”

you were both fighting to hold back tears, but it only worked for so long. eventually, it was tsugumi who broke into tears first and you quickly wrapped your arms around her, pulling her into a tight hug, as you allowed yourself to cry tears of relief.

it was over. you finally had her back.
