This is also the funniest way this could have gone. Naturally Watanuki feels bad for the way it all went but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You can only help someone so far, and only if they want it.
Very fun to me that Watanuki just devolves into “Well if I ring the doorbell enough times maybe she’ll change her mind”.
On the one hand Watanuki gets a pass for being a fictional character that we know has good intentions, because this would be harassment otherwise.
On the other hand he is so desperate to help someone. He is clinging to the idea that he might be able to grant her wish - even though it’s not even technically a wish he is granting, but fixing a fundamental fear that is haunting her.
He won’t let this go because he’s just lost so much, he needs it all to matter, so he can do a good job on behalf of all the people he just lost.
He is putting too much on himself, but yes I absolutely want to see where this goes.
… but not now! Apparently that was the end of the chapter.
Excuse me time to retire to the wailing room.

7 DAYS IN PARADISE
Marriage. Holy, pure, life-long, consuming-- or, so people think. It sure was, that last part, when it came to you, at least. But, that for you, was six years ago.
Now, you're pushing thirties, flirty and quirky-- no, you aren't. Stuck in a monotonous job with zero entertainment, and taking care of your son has become your full-time job. Or, at least, it feels that way.
But, one fateful Tuesday night, you find a ticket to Hawaii, under your bed and things take a turn for the comedic worse. Calm down, calm down. After all, what's wrong with a little trip to the soothing beaches with your ex-partner and your son, right?
You just know his antics too well by now.
Crazy little punk.
FEATURES:
Fully customizable MC with traits and features of choice(going for extensive customization).
Uh.. exclusive personality following the Myers-Briggs? Excuse me, what more can you ask for?
Choose the genders of your ROs.
Fall in love and enjoy the sunny beaches of Hawaii, girlies, guylies, and.. uh, non-binar-ies?
I'm gonna shut up now.
ROMANTIC INTERESTS:
Ellie/Elliot Williams
Yeah, exactly who you thought it would be. Your ex-partner, your ex-lover, blah. Once upon a time, you had loved them. Dearly so. It's been six-years since your terrible, messy divorce and, arguements between you two, are almost never ending. Will their lingering feelings for you be enough to pull you back into their love on this trip, or has their boat fully sailed?
Manjari/Manoj Patel
A blast from the past. If it weren't for E, you'd have almost dated them, instead. They were your best-friend and closest confidant back in the day. Now that, the lines between love and hate have blurred, will you still be able to find a common ground to love?
Bella/Beckett James
The sexy bartender and resident charmer that has you feeling all young and wanted. If it wasn't for your trip, you probably wouldn't have even thought that someone could want you so much. Will their crush on you magnify into true love or, will it wilt with the test of time?

DP x DC Prompt
Batman grunts a greeting at the boy Selena has introduced as "Danny" as if it's totally normal for a kid to be hanging out on a rooftop with her, kicking his legs out above the edge as if he's not 20 stories up.
Selena shares an equally amused glance with Danny that has Batman scowling harder than his usual as the boy gets up, stretching out from his hunch to reveal a 6 foot 2 build not unlike Jason's.
"Wow, spot on," Danny whistles, grinning at Selena. "I owe you a twenty."
"Darling," Selena purrs, hand finding purchase on his upper bicep. "I never exaggerate."
"Looks like Catwoman's got a new scratching post, B," Nightwing cackles in his comm, which is probably why Batman finds himself gritting out a--
"Little young for you, isn't he?"
The kid--in a hoodie and jeans, seriously, where did Selena find this guy--stares at him incredulously before his mouth stretches into an uncomfortably wide grin, revealing fairly sharp canines. He strides forward.
"What can I say, Mr. The Batman," he says, placing a hand on the man's shoulder. He must be around the same age as Dick. "I've got a thing for powerful women in black."
"See you for dinner tomorrow Lena," he says, hand lifted in farewell as he heads for the edge. He pushes himself over the wall with one hand, dropping over.
Batman clocks Selena's lack of alarm and doesn't flinch. Thirteen seconds later, there's no resounding thud when Danny's body would've met the pavement and she's still smirking at him.
"No metas in Gotham," he growls.
Selena throws her head back and laughs. "If I see any, I'll be sure to call. Now," she kisses his cheek, "I better go. I've got a date tomorrow."

HERE WE GO!
There he goes! He’s doing it!
I think I just said this but I feel like this conversation really encapsulates Watanuki’s entire growth up to this point - how he is so calm throughout this conversation, dropping the wise observations and the truths he's learned through empathy but doing it unflinchingly to hammer home the truth this person wants to avoid.
And then he says the Hitsuzen line! That more than anything really hammers home the full inheritance of Yuuko’s role. Which is WONDERFUL because look at that panel! He has that sense of mystic danger to him when he says it that just thrills me to no end. Here he is: Watanuki, Yuuko’s heir.
But at the same time it terrifies me that, hitsuzen being what it is, maybe this will line up with Yuuko’s disappearance, and Yuuko will be replaced just as Watanuki finally fully embodies the role she leaves behind. Which! I don't want! But would narratively be very tidy!
