How to Ruin a Report in 10 Folds

What happens when you leave a report unattended in Sylus' place with Luke and Kieran lurking around?

: Sylus, Luke, Kieran, Fem Reader

word count: 932

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“OW OW OWWW!”

“We’re sorry—OWWWWW!”

Their shrieking echoed down the grand halls of Sylus’ home like a chorus of chaos.

Meanwhile, in the calm of his spacious office, Sylus was flipping through documents with practiced indifference—until the doors burst open with a bang.

There stood MC, looking positively furious as she dragged Luke and Kieran in by their ears like misbehaving toddlers. With a huff, she shoved them inside. As soon as she let go, they clutched their ears dramatically like wounded puppies.

“Boss-man!” Luke fake-wept, sprinting toward Sylus. Kieran was right behind him, mirroring the act. They latched onto his arms as if trying to shield themselves with his body.

Sylus blinked, clearly unbothered but utterly lost.

“And what exactly is going on this lovely day?” he asked sarcastically, letting them dangle off him like living accessories.

MC crossed her arms and glared daggers at the twins, who instantly flinched and retreated further behind Sylus' arms.

“Why don’t you ask these mischievous children?”

“We’re not children!” Kieran declared bravely.

“Funny for someone hiding behind Sy,” MC shot back.

And just like that, the banter exploded—snappy comebacks flying back and forth like tennis balls while Sylus sat calmly between them, a helpless spectator to the chaos.

Eventually, he sighed, cleared his throat, and stood up.

“Are any of you going to explain what this is about, or will I just be stuck refereeing this three-way squabble?” he asked dryly. “I do have better things to do, entertaining as this is.” He took a step toward the door.

“NOOOOOOO!” Luke and Kieran wailed in unison, practically clinging for dear life—Luke hugging Sylus from the front, Kieran from the back.

Had this not been a real issue, MC might’ve doubled over laughing at the sight.

Sylus, clearly over it, rolled his eyes and turned to MC, giving her a look that said, please, for the love of everything, explain.

MC took a breath. “It’s really nothing much,” she said, tone heavy with sarcasm. “These two simply decided that it would be hilarious to do some origami today.”

Sylus squinted. “...Okay? So?”

“Exactly! So?” Luke echoed from his spot against Sylus' chest.

MC’s eyes narrowed. “Oh, don’t test me. I might’ve even helped you with your little paper cranes—had you not used my entire damn report!”

The twins flinched in unison. So did Sylus, ever so slightly.

“Your report?” he asked.

“Mhhm”

“The one you stayed up all night working on?”

“Yes, Sylus. You are correct. The report I stayed up all night working on,” she replied with a tight, painfully polite smile.

Sylus exhaled slowly and began to pry the twins off of him. Now that he grasped the full scope, he couldn’t just let it slide.

What the twins didn’t know was that Sylus had nearly cried trying to get MC to take a break from that damn report the night before. The leader of Onychinus—begging? Practically. But MC clung to her keyboard like it was a lifeline. She wouldn’t let it go.

And now… now the report was a fleet of origami birds.

In no time, Luke and Kieran were lined up before Sylus and MC like scolded children. Sylus rested a calming hand on MC’s back and fixed the boys with a stern look.

“Of all the papers in this house,” he said, “why hers? Look at me.”

They lifted their heads, hesitant.

“Nothing to say?”

Luke glanced at Kieran before muttering, “It’s just…”

“…Her paper was the best one for origami,” Kieran finished quietly.

There was a long pause. Sylus and MC looked at each other, both trying very hard not to laugh.

MC wasn’t truly angry—just tired and mildly unhinged from staying up all night printing those reports only for them to be turned into swans or stars or whatever. But their reasoning?

She could barely keep a straight face.

Then Luke mumbled something under his breath.

“Hm? Didn’t catch that,” Sylus said.

Luke sighed, defeated. “The other paper was too flimsy.”

MC stared at them. Her frustration was practically gone by now.

“How am I supposed to stay mad at you two?” she asked, exhaling with a soft smile. “I’m still a little upset, sure—because I really worked hard on those reports. But thanks to your dad here, I’ve learned to embrace the whole ‘what’s done is done’ mindset.”

She softened. “Just… be careful next time, okay?”

The twins nodded and muttered apologies.

Once the dust settled and Sylus gave them a few parting warnings, the boys retreated to wherever they went to pretend they were sorry.

Later that evening, Sylus walked into his room to find MC lounging calmly—completely opposite of her earlier rage.

“You had backups, didn’t you?” he asked, already knowing the answer.

MC smirked. “Obviously. I basically live with you three. I’d be a fool not to.”

Sylus chuckled. “You’re terrifying.”

MC raised a brow. “Is that a complaint?”

He looked at her for a moment, then smirked. “Not even a little.”

That night, MC returned to Sylus’ office and found a neat folder on his desk. On top of it sat a lone paper crane and a folded note with her name on it.

Inside the folder was a freshly printed version of her report, along with a clumsily handwritten message:

"We’re sorry. Please don’t set us on fire. Love, Luke and Kieran <3"

In the corner of the last page, someone had scribbled:

"P.S. We made you a new swan. It doesn’t bite."

MC rolled her eyes and took the new crane, looking at it fondly. “…Idiots,” she muttered with a smile.

a continuation of my first work, this one being taken from your pov. Thank you for the likes and reblogs on the first one. It warms my heart to see it was received well. As usual, please forgive any writing errors here. Enjoy! (*n´ω`n*)

❥ tags: humor, romance, fluff, domesticity, ratio x reader

❥ song inspo: how sweet it is (to be loved by you) by james taylor

✧─── ･ ｡ﾟ★: *.✦ .* :★. ───✧

➷‌ You waking up in the middle of the night to check on Ratio and finding him asleep leaning against the headboard. While exercising utmost care, you remove his glasses along with the book on his lap and place them by the nightstand. You snuggle back into the sheets but not before pressing a brief kiss on his temple‌

➷‌ Asking him to teach you how to clean his plaster heads, only for him to come home one day to find them all polished and practically glinting from the light‌

➷‌ Wordlessly and discreetly taking the side near the road when you're walking together, this action garnering a dry chuckle from him and a low, husky "how chivalrous"

➷‌ Opening a snack and offering it to him without taking a bite first. Doesn't matter if the snack is something you eat on a daily basis or one you've secured after hours of endlessly searching from store to store, this man has a set of special privileges as your partner, and one of them includes being able to get the first bite

➷‌ Writing down a short note on an origami and folding it into a paper crane before leaving them in random spaces in his study room for him to find‌. Once, he discovered one inside his drawer and the note simply wrote: hi handsome mwah mwah :) He rolls his eyes at the immature message, but he keeps it in his pocket anyways

➷‌ Waking up after a fulfilling sleep and seeing Ratio getting dressed for the day, wearing that familiar assemble of clothing that is elegant, regal, and daring altogether. Disregarding the vestiges of weariness clinging to your bones, you scramble out of bed to help him garb each piece of attire. The flowing white sash draped over his shoulder, the gold owl mask hanging on his shoulder blade, the blue robes he sports over the tight black attire that shows just enough skin for you to question whether it was appropriate for work—your hands arrange every accessory and fabric to emulate a semblance of propriety that reflects the nature of his calibre. Moments like these are the highlight of your day. You get to enjoy the sunlight pouring in through the gaps of the blinds and spend the morning in a quiet, intimate manner before eventually parting for work

➷‌ You consider yourself to be on the frugal side, but when it comes to Ratio, that financial principle crumbles like cookies. The rows of jewelry lined up near the bakery you frequent that never once pique your interest all of a sudden becomes ten times more tempting the moment an important event comes up. As much as you justify that it's for your partner and that it's something celebrated annually, a part of you still wilts at the notion of giving up on purchasing the item you've been wanting to buy for a long time in favor of gifting Ratio something nice. You present it to him the moment he returns home from work, and he freezes up. His stoic veneer tenses and falters before ultimately assuming that tempered gaze of gratitude you've grown accustomed to. And just like that, you're left with zero grievances

➷‌ You temporarily forgetting your lack of athleticism as you run towards a department store teeming with discounts, the first section you visit being the men's as you browse for anything on sale that fits Ratio's preferred style of fashion

➷‌ Whenever he has the time to pick you up from work, you would stop by a full length mirror to fix your appearance, patting down awry strands of hair, brushing away imaginary dust, and erasing any signs of creases on your outfit, wanting to look good for him‌ before finally greeting your lover outside the building

➷‌ Gushing over his muscles and comparing them to the marble sculptures you often see in art museums. You wrap his arm around your shoulders to emphasize just how safe and comfortable they make you feel, but a single thought goes unspoken: Something about him—his beauty, his presence—just can't be captured fully by even sculptors of great renown and immaculate prowess. A sculpture won't be able to do justice to his mere being and splendor. Luckily for you, the real deal is here with you now

➷‌ You make it a habit to compliment him on his research/workout progress because you know that when he thinks you aren't looking, he lets his lips quirk up just a bit‌ at the comment. Even geniuses like him aren't immune to heartfelt praises tailored to point out traits that they're most proud of

➷‌ You can be flippant at times, cracking (terrible) jokes during a serious moment. But if you ever see Ratio solemnly shaking his head at your attempt at alleviating tension with humor, you will shut your mouth, no questions asked. The jokes take a back seat, and you settle beside him, mirroring his pensive expression and allowing the quietness to spread. The last thing you want is for Ratio to think you derive joy from his troubles

➷‌ You've known him well enough to know that he doesn't mean anything malicious when he calls you a dunce. But when you do something that causes him deep distress, he'll ramble about how short-sighted your judgments are, how idiotic it is for you to assume that it's okay to make him fret this much. Perhaps under normal circumstances, you would've retaliated, but Ratio just appears so thrown off, so disturbed, his composure incinerating before your eyes that all you can do is clasp his trembling hands and apologize for worrying him‌

➷‌ You tend to either clutch on his sleeves or hug his arm. It's your preferred way of staying close to him. In some occasions, your hand would weave through the crack between his side and his arm to slip into his coat pocket, withdrawing the moment you think the coast is clear. But then he rains on your parade by telling you to put his wallet back

➷‌ Stealing his cologne and spraying it all over your clothes when you're in a clingy mood. It gets worse when he's away on a business trip for months on end, so the bed (room) usually ends up smelling like him by the time he returns‌

➷‌ Slightly bumping your head against his as a gesture of affection whenever you get the chance. This gesture carries a nice balance of love and playfulness that you decide to keep doing it to him. It makes your heart flutter whenever he does it back. Sometimes, it feels like you're both goats gently headbutting each other, but you try not to dwell on that thought too much. The imagery might make things awkward

➷‌ Breaking off a chunk of food and immediately handing the biggest one to him‌. That mint colored popsicle that comes with a twin set of sticks? You haven't been able to break that thing in half equally so far, but you generally don't mind letting Ratio claim the one with the most portion. He says that it's unnecessary, but if him gently pinching your cheek is anything to go by, he isn't opposed to the special treatment at all

➷‌ You both make the time to reconvene after clocking off from work. You won't say much to each other as the day had worn you both to the bone, but even then, you still find the opportunity to extricate his bag from his hand and playfully nag him for overworking himself. It's a hypocritical move on your part, yes, but it's a tactic you often employ to make sure he won't pry his bag off your grip‌

➷‌ When you're out eating seafood and decide to indulge in some crustaceans. It's difficult enough extracting the soft meat from inside the tough layer of skin, even more to crack the shells to get it. So, once you've managed to scrounge up a decent amount of meat, you transfer it to Ratio's plate. He protests, of course, but you don't stop. "You shouldn't give everything to me. I didn't come here to enjoy the food by myself." He grumbles after promptly swallowing the piece you offered. You respond by giving him even more

➷‌ Being his #1 fan through and through. At some point, you and him came to an agreement that it would be best if you didn't attend his award ceremonies too often because you both know that the moment his name is announced, you'll bounce off your seat and give off a thunderous cry like a football fan whose team had just won. Disruptively supportive, as he likes to put it. And unabashedly so, because when people ask you if dating someone with an intelligence that surpasses yours by a staggering amount makes you feel inferior, you just give them an incredulous look. "He's done so much for the world of academia and the progress of humanity itself. How can I be anything but proud?"

➷‌ Entering the sanctity of his personal study room and plopping down on the floor beside the chair he's seated on, a plushie in your lap as you rest your head on his thigh. He stiffens at the contact, asks you what you're doing, before eventually resuming his task and leaving you be. You bear no intentions of distracting him from his task so you remain stationary where you are. The night wears on, and you soon fall fast asleep, only stirring when a hand lays on your head

➷‌ Showing constant interest in the process of his publications, posing queries about how the idea first came to be, why he chose that particular topic, and even asking for explanations about terms and phrases that are foreign to you. Because of this, it is now a common occurrence for Ratio to come marching towards you at random times with his tablet and reading his draft for his upcoming article. You don't understand half of what the content is about, but in this moment, your attention belongs solely to him

➷‌ There's a folder in your phone gallery dedicated to miscellaneous items relating to Ratio. The order of his books, the manuscript he composed last minute when a spark of inspiration struck him, the golden laurel headpiece he often adorned laying discarded on the bedroom floor, a screenshot of a digital invitation to a nationwide seminar as a guest speaker, the bathwater brand he favors most, and even some rare pictures of him that he took in front of mirrors as per your request. While you like to take the time to create different folders for certain categories of pictures, you personally don't mind a bit of clutter in your phone. But when it comes to him, everything has a semblance of order. If you scroll down enough, one might even see that you had some of his stuff sorted based on dates

➷‌ Ratio takes you out on a spontaneous date to your favorite restaurant and to the beach. You're puzzled, and that feeling only amplifies when he randomly tells you to catch the apple he tossed. You're left pondering over the possible implications that this whole thing entails, but until then, you aren't interested in using up brain energy. You do, however, reach into your bucket to sift through the loot you amassed from mindlessly frolicking around the beach. A shell emerges into Ratio's line of vision, a perfect blend of colors with a defined conch shape and boasting a surface devoid of cracks—undoubtedly the best looking one in your pile. He raises his brows curiously when you hold it out for him, and you simply smile. "My favorite shell for my favorite person."

➷‌ Waiting in line at an establishment during a particularly busy day, and you're both left to your own devices. Without much to do to endure what might be an hour long wait, you take out your earphones and tuck the left one in Ratio's ear. After relinquishing the piece with the best sound quality, you also hand over your phone to him, allowing him free reign over the music being played. You plop your head on his shoulder as your consciousness slowly drifts off to the blissful melody of your wedding song

rating Halloween toilet decor at my local Michael’s

The classic skeleton on a skeleton shaped toilet. 8/10. you cannot go wrong with a spooky dookie but the book made of bone is definitely not it

Ichabod Crane toilet. 7/10. Points for originality with a less common Halloween figure and the satisfyingly smug pumpkin face, but points lost for confusing denim boot covers and the way the pumpkin isn’t reading the book whatsoever. Also makes me wonder if the axe is for toilet paper.

Dracula toilet. 4/10 for boring sculpt, bad paint job, baffling makeup, and the fact that Anne Rice says vampires don’t need to use the bathroom. Not that I believe Anne Rice about everything, but it’s funny to bring up the time Lestat gets body swapped into a normal body and spends way too many pages describing the feeling of peeing.

Frankenstein’s monster. 10/10 this is perfect. The pose, the sculpt, the self referential book… this monster knows what he’s about and even though like all these other toilet figures he’s wearing pants, it’s fine. Top tier silly. I love his face and I genuinely contemplated buying this for about 30 seconds before I realized then I’d have to own and find a place for a Frankenstein toilet figure.

Edgar Allan Poe on the toilet. 9/10 this is the only time I’m deducting points for “but he’s still wearing pants!” because this is an actual human figure, but I’m adding a ton of points back for how scrunkly he is and the large amount of accessories.

Laptop skeleton toilet. THIS IS PERFECTION 100/10. The pose, so familiar to anyone who’s had to use a computer for news or bad social media or zoom. The silly ghost not quite Apple logo. The jointed knees letting you bat at the feet like a cat with a toy. You cannot improve on this. One of my favorite objects in the Michael’s Halloween section of all time. This skeleton is a mood and an icon and I love it so, so very much.

Hey Michael’s? What in the actual fuck is this. I’m not even going to rate this because this is literally just a regular toilet, not a Halloween toilet. “Oh it has a snake on it” snakes alone do not make something Halloween or have we all forgotten about Britney Spears with the yellow python (top 10 “how did I think I was straight” moments). Send whoever designed this embarrassment to remedial Halloween school where they have to design anatomically improbable skeletons. IT DOESN’T EVEN HAVE A SEAT YOU’D FALL RIGHT IN THIS THING SUCKS

NAGI SEISHIRO X FEM!READER

stars. | a love story that began and ended with stars. childhood lovers to high school lovers.

"(y/n). can we ... do this?" the white-haired child, seemingly at the age of twelve, swiftly took hold of your hand and interlocked his fingers with you, grasping it as if it was a promise to never let go. the rosy tone of pink adorned his pale cheeks along with a pursued lip, giving it a cute look一 to which you adored upon seeing them.

you chuckled heartedly, allowing nagi to hear your soothing voice that felt like a lost tale to him. tiny stars decorated the night sky that resided behind you一 almost like a breathtaking cutscene that appeared in every quest he played.

nagi’s lips corners tugged upwards, displaying a smile that even he couldn’t understand how it happened一 it was all your work, managing to get him to adore your every action without an effort.

you were the one in a million for him.

“nagi,” despite it being his boring name that you called out, your tone made it heard as if it was special. “do you think the stars gaze back at us?” you pointed to the stars above the two of you, hand still holding his warm one.

“of course,” he affirmed. “if they didn’t, then they wouldn’t be there.”

you were so young, and so was he. yet, you two found love in each other’s hearts, making them beat way faster with slight affection. even though the concept of love was still confusing for both of you, you found it easy to love over time.

nagi seishiro loved you from the deepest part of his heart.

“hey, look.” a pair of smoke-colored orbs traveled to the night sky once more, now taking in the sight of a shooting star. “make a wish, nagi!”

he scoffed, “what is there to wish?” he already had you, what more could he ask the gods to gift him? how troublesome.

Your smile didn’t falter a bit, instead, softened at the comment.

your (h/c) strands swayed with the wind, along with a sheer cold embracing your figures. you trembled slightly, letting out a shaky breath. the warmness of his hand didn’t help you. you squeezed his hand, staring at nothing but the star that left a shining trail.

nagi couldn’t bear you getting cold, always insisting that you should stay close to him. his arms wrapped themselves around you, head resting on top of your shoulder. he noticed how much you yearned for his comfort at the moment, wishing for nothing but a longing hug.

nagi seishiro wished to be with you in every lifetime.

"nagi, you came.” you exclaimed, eyes shining upon seeing the white-haired male. he brought his headphones down, focusing on you now. a smile emitted his strawberry-tinted lips, arms open for you to hug him tightly. you waited no time to wrap yourself around him as he petted your (h/c) hair.

“i’m here.” he assured. the fresh fragrance of his met your sense of smell, immediately addicting you to it.

“i made a paper crane, see.” your hand reached out to your coat’s pocket, pulling out a white origami that was neatly folded. nagi’s heart melted at your excited voice, his eyes softening a bit. “it looks like you.” you put the paper crane in front of him, carefully displaying it as if it was a piece of art made by the most important artist.

for nagi, you were an artist. an important one.

he chuckled, "it does look like me, you're so skilled at this, (y/n).” the white-haired male watched as you blabbered about your experience, commenting on it from there to there. honestly, he could listen to you all day if it weren’t for the small things breaking his conversation with you.

he loved it when you brought small gifts such as chocolates or a handmade accessory一 or anything in general, he just loves whatever you bring him. nagi peered at your (h/c) eyes, finding tiny stars illuminating every time you spoke.

nagi seishiro loved you, but didn’t know if you felt the same.

the paper crane you gifted nagi just now resided inside his large pocket, not a single wrinkle on it. he’d rather die than harm something you’ve given him. the appealing landscape of dawn was present in front of you two, colored in bright colors such as orange, yellow, blue, and purple. the sun clearly blinded your eyes, but you paid no mind to it.

seeing the dawn of after-school was like a miracle in hakuho high school, considering how late the students went home. since it was rare to catch the dawn, the hakuho students created a rumor一 that whoever watched the dawn with someone, they’d belong to them for an eternity.

if that were true, then why is nagi seishiro standing in front of your grave, denying your death?

nagi pressed the icon of the voicemail, clearing his throat as he blinked.

“good night, (y/n). i know we haven’t talked for the past, what一 two days?” he paused, was it two days? or two months? “i miss you, a lot. it’s so hard to continue on without you, y’know. i got invited to blue lock, reo said that we could do some tricks from here to there. it was so troublesome, at least without you … i know i’ve been saying this for the last three voicemails but一 uh, but, i love you. i hope you love me back too, because if you don’t一 if you don’t … i’ll be very sad … yeah, sorry.”

he inhaled, cold air entering his lungs and freezing him. it was a bad idea to head off to the park where it all started一 where he met you, his crush.

smoke-colored hues traveled to the stars above, watching them as they shined brighter than usual一 was it because they gained another star? if so, then nagi wants his star back. he was selfish, wanting more than he could have. but, it was what made him human, right?

his thumb wandered around the icon once again, tears threatening to spill. he glanced at the white paper crane in his hand, a lump formed in his throat, forbidding him from forming the most basic word. the voices inside his head told him to not do it, how it’d just bring more pain to him and hurt your feelings even more. he didn’t care as of now.

“(y/n) … why一 why did you leave me? didn’t you tell me to make a wish? did the stars lie to us? ... i miss you, more than you could ever believe.” a pause, inhaling a shaky breath. “can we一 can we watch the dawn once more? before you leave …? i promise, i’ll keep my promise一 i’m not like those selfish stars. i’ll meet you there, really …”

His thumb pressed the icon for the last time. “(y/n), please don’t leave me.”

and from now on, nagi seishiro had no trust left for the stars.

wip weekend/wednesday + new year's edition (two months after the new year :) whoops!)

tagged by the lovely @snowangeldotmp3 TWICE so now you get two (thank youuu for fuelling my renewed attempt at writing <3 Sorry it took a while, though.)

here's some bits from the current active WIPs. This one's from a much-belated Steve sequel in the I clawed my way into the light series:

We have machines for that now, someone says at some point, and then they never stop saying it. It’s only $3.75 a wash, $2.25 to dry. It's only $13.75 a sandwich, 15.75 if the eggs are free range, only $106.06 to keep running and $349.99 to keep breathing and $38,278 to keep learning and it's only the cost of two hundred thousand lives to proclaim yourself the winner. You watch a documentary on it: all those people cast in permanent shadow like a silent reminder. They weren't silent, is the thing. None of the books or machines or flat pleasant voices get that right, not in words plain enough to not warrant a repeat performance. All those proud average joes, proud average numbers, all those permanently unwilling shadows over history's sidewalks—they weren't silent. They died screaming. That's great, you say. You crane your neck to look at  the feet and feet of metal and glass climbing high heavenward returning the sky back to you in the wrong shade  and you say, that’s swell. That sure is something.

#2, from an actual prose fic:

Her glossy passport says Hannah Schiffer and the envelope she digs out of the grimy safehouse mailbox says model and the clinging, bright fabric of her skirt says notice me, admire me, profile me from afar. Underestimate me, please. It’ll be so much fun. The concierge’s touch on her shoulder as he opens the umbrella for her and helps her out the door is light, reverent. She flashes a smile, thankful and just a little coy: an accessory on an accessory, because it’s what a woman her age is supposed to do this side of the curtain; it's what a woman like Hannah would do. A woman like Hannah would enjoy the flattering attention, the luxury of a solo trip away from the cramped offices of her agency. She’d thrive on the independence and adrenaline rush of being a woman on her own in a bustling, unfamiliar city situated right over the pulse of this new Europe. She might take advantage of the afternoon off, stroll down the tree-shaded boulevards and eye some of the more expensive storefronts with unabashed curiosity; peruse artworks at the market and thumb through second-hand books, sounding out the words like someone who hasn’t had the rules of the language ingrained into them. She might even linger in front of an elaborate bakery before deciding to treat herself to a pastry, sit on the riverbank with her legs kicking over the glittering surface of the Seine; the rich taste of butter and sugar on the tongue just a mild indulgence instead of a secret pocket of personal rebellion. A woman like Hannah probably wouldn’t notice she was being followed, and she wouldn’t really be to blame. Most people wouldn’t. Most people, Natalia thinks as she shakes the last of the flaky crumbs caught in the folds of the paper bag into her mouth and pushes herself up off the grainy concrete, don’t pay enough attention.

I was playing Sky: Children of the Light recently and thought about the Teiko gang + Kagami playing it together

Before I start with my headcanons, I'm sure some of y'all don't know what Sky: Children of the Light is, so I'll explain briefly.

Sky is a social adventure game where you play as a child from the now-desolate Sky Kingdom. Through exploring the seven realms of this kingdom, you restore the light back to the remaining spirits while unraveling the lore of the kingdom and figuring out what happened to it and where all the people went. You can play this game solo if you want to, but it's best played with friends. You can also play with up to eight friends on one server, and the Teiko gang + Kagami is exactly eight people, which works out perfectly! So this post will be me talking about the type of players I think all of them would be on Sky and what type of hijinks I think they'd get into if they decided to play on the same server. The rest will be under the cut. Enjoy!

KUROKO

Very diligent about playing Sky on a regular basis but doesn't play super long sessions unless he's playing with other people. Totally fine with playing by himself since he likes to wander the maps and find quiet secluded places to sit.

But sometimes he also "people watches" in the game and categorizes people based on how they play Sky. Ever since he started people-watching for basketball, it translates into pretty much everything he does, so social video games are no exception.

But when he's taking a break from solitude, he's helping moths (a term of endearment for newbies in Sky) navigate their way through the game and complete quests. There are probably a few he befriends and sees from time to time when he opens Sky, and he kinda feels like a proud parent each and every time he runs into them and sees how much they've leveled up.

Since he's an avid reader I would think he'd be a big fan of worldbuilding and lore and so I think he'd really like exploring the lore of Sky. He follows the official Sky pages on Twitter and YT to keep updated.

In terms of what Kuroko would look like in Sky (since you can customize your Sky kid's outfit and hair), he would dress very simplistically. His fit would almost always be something from the regular accessory constellations. Nothing flashy or out of the ordinary. The only non-default accessory he consistently wears is a pair of sunglasses he got during one season (a season is a period where you can do limited-time themed events and be able to get special cosmetics and emotes). He's pretty frugal in-game, so even though he has a fair number of candles (the in-game currency), he doesn't spend it that much. And the things he spends it on are small accessories and other trinkets.

Somehow, his Misdirection translates into Sky as well because most people really don't notice him, so it's pretty difficult for him to open special doors that require the help of at least two people. That's why he always befriends people who notice him. He knows that they've got his back and he's got theirs.

In Sky, you can also leave messages for other players to read. They usually take the form of paper boats or cranes you can place in any body of water in Sky, and you can write whatever you want on them (within reason of course). So, I can imagine Kuroko would always leave encouraging messages for others like "Don't give up!" and "You can do it!" Those messages always get so much attention, but nobody ever knows who writes them.

KAGAMI

Is almost never on by himself. Most of the time, he's online when Kuroko is online and they do quests together.

Since he's more of an infrequent player, he's often confused about certain aspects of the game and will need Kuroko to help him out.

He likes the game for the pretty scenery and nice music but doesn't really engage with it on a deeper level since he's not super informed about The Lore™. As a result, he's constantly asking Kuroko for explanations as to why certain things in the game are happening.

The rare times he is on by himself he's kind of awkward in navigating the maps and making friends. I would say he's more of a moth than anyone on this list, which means that whenever he's by himself, other players feel more inclined to help him out, which is how he kind of gets adopted by multiple different players. He would log into Sky and check his friend constellations to find that multiple people have gifted him light (you need light to be able to forge hearts which are a more valuable type of in-game currency that buys you more extravagant cosmetics compared to candles).

I would say he often gets sidetracked while doing quests. He'd see somewhere that he hadn't explored and drop everything to go check it out.

The way his Sky kid is dressed is a mixture of regular and seasonal cosmetics that he's managed to snag. He always tries to make himself look cool on Sky, so he cares a little bit more about his appearance because of that.

He is perpetually broke on Sky. Almost always less than 10 candles to his name. So when the time comes for him to buy a cosmetic that he really likes, he's constantly having to hustle last-minute and collect enough light around the kingdom to forge candles.

KISE

Either plays by himself or with the rest of the gang however he much prefers company and is not above pestering the others to come online and play with him.

Also a regular player because the game is cute and fun for him. He probably plays it a lot while he's on break during a modeling session or during lunch breaks at school.

He knows the basic lore of Sky but doesn't go any further. He's not one to create theories like that because he also kinda takes it at face value.

He's the type to unlock all the nodes in his friends' constellations so he can do cute things with them (unlocking friendship nodes means you can initiate gestures with friends like high-fives, hugs, piggyback rides, and more).

Because he's so used to being followed and chased by fangirls due to his modeling career, he likes the anonymity of Sky because it gives him the freedom to approach and chat with other players as an equal.

He is the flashiest Sky kid out of everyone. If he's not grinding to get all the seasonal cosmetics, he's using real money to splurge on some of the cosmetics you can't buy with in-game currency. The others sometimes are embarrassed by how much he sticks out, but Kise never lets that deter him from being the most fashionable person on the server.

He also likes leaving messages in paper boats, but they're usually generic messages like a "hi!" with a bunch of emojis. Anyone in the gang who finds his messages will screenshot them and send them to Kise via text to let him know that his messages have been spotted.

MIDORIMA

He plays this game on and off, but when he's on, he's on.

He usually plays with other people since he's more likely to play if there's a group session, but it's not uncommon to catch him doing quests by himself or simply just exploring parts of the map he's never been to before.

He strikes me as someone who'd be super deep into Sky lore and making his own theories. But his tsundere ass would pretend like he's not into it and swears that he only got this game because Kise and Momoi begged him to, even though there are too many occasions of other people in the gang asking if he wants to join them to do daily quests and Midorima responding that he's already done them, and everyone wises up that he likes the game far more than he lets on, but they don't call him out on it.

He only bothers playing with actual friends. He doesn't really interact with other strangers on the server. So, if he's on Sky by himself, he's truly just doing everything alone. Any nodes unlocked in his friendship constellation are unlocked by other people in the gang. He'd rather die than use his candles to unlock a hug emote with any of his friends.

Since there's a set limit to how many candles you can forge per day (there's a limited amount of light you can collect across the seven realms to forge candles and it refreshes daily), he takes note of where the biggest/most candles are and remembers that if he needs to forge a bunch of candles in a hurry but doesn't have time to collect every single fragment of light across all the realms.

In terms of what Midorima's Sky kid would look like, he'd be dressed very smartly. No matter what outfit he has on, he always seems to look like a scholar of some sort. Even his hair is well put together. He's not one to shy away from seasonal cosmetics, but they're not the over-the-top outfits like Kise would have on. He dresses a lot more modestly like Kuroko but not in that "default setting" sort of way.

He sometimes hoards spells (in Sky, you can purchase/be given spells that can allow you to give your Sky kid temporary boosts or powers like recharging your wings faster, making you taller or shorter, or even giving you a different outfit. These spells can also be shared with friends if you hold their hand while activating them.) He sometimes uses the outfit spells as a test run to see if something looks nice on him. And if it does, he'll save up enough candles to buy the real thing.

AOMINE

Very infrequent player. He'll log on once to wreak havoc all day before disappearing for weeks at a time.

He never plays unless someone else in the gang is also online. Especially if it's Kuroko.

Doesn't give a fuck about the lore at all and because he plays so infrequently he never has any idea what goes on.

He also doesn't have that much winged light (the more winged light you collect the more energy you have to fly) but somehow he manages to explore just as well as everyone else in the gang. It's kind of impressive.

He has no problem charging into the more dangerous areas of Sky. In fact, it would be better to say he likes to get himself into danger on purpose for that sweet, sweet adrenaline rush.

In terms of what his Sky kid looks like, I would say he also has very default accessories like Kuroko, not because he prefers them but because he's so infrequently online that he never earns enough seasonal candles to buy specially-themed accessories. However, trust and believe he will still make do with what he has. He seems like the type of person to prefer all the goofiest-looking cosmetics like beards and bushy eyebrows. It almost annoys the others how unserious his Sky kid looks at all times, but he never pays them any attention.

Sometimes when he's bored he'll try and exploit glitches in the game to see what they do or to try and get into an inaccessible area of the map.

MOMOI

Another frequent player. She loves this game DOWN. After school, she likes to get cozy in her room and hop online.

She enjoys playing both by herself and with the rest of the gang, she's not biased toward one or the other.

She really enjoys the lore of Sky and does things like analyze the appearance of each realm so she can make theories. I bet she has a notebook where she keeps track of all the lore and her interpretations of it. She exchanges theories with Kuroko a lot. Also Midorima, too, but he'll pretend like he's not interested in it.

She mainly likes to play with the rest of the gang but she's not opposed to making friends with a couple strangers on the server here and there. Sometimes if nobody from the gang is online, she'll do daily quests with these other players and sometimes add them to her friendship constellation.

You will never catch her broke on Sky. She does regular candle runs to replenish her earnings (going on a candle run means you travel through all the realms and collect all the available light so you can forge it into candles. You can typically earn about 20 candles in a day if you do a full candle run). She is probably the most consistent with gifting friends light and hearts, too. She's also the best person to ask about upcoming seasons and other Sky-related info since she follows the developers and the official Sky page on YouTube and Twitter.

Her Sky kid is the prettiest out of everyone's. Since she's such a frequent player, she has a bunch of seasonal cosmetics that she loves to alternate between. Every time the others see her, she's in a new outfit. She's just constantly decked out to the nines. She and Kise sometimes coordinate their outfits.

She has accumulated a lot of placeable props in her inventory (placeable props are decorative or functional items you can place on the ground in Sky. They could be anything from a cushion to a swing set.) She also loves to make shared spaces (shared spaces are little shrine areas that you can create and decorate as your space using props you have acquired. These spaces can also be accessed by other players). Her shared spaces are always cute and well-decorated. She likes to create them in secluded areas of the map so she and the rest of the gang can just hang out in those spaces together away from everyone else.

MURASAKIBARA

Not a super frequent player but more active than people expect. I peg him as a fan of cozy games.

Most times he prefers to play with other people, but sometimes he will have days where he'll just go off by himself and get up to God knows what.

He loosely follows the lore but doesn't really care about theories the way some of the others do. He doesn't really play Sky to think too hard about anything. He mainly just plays it to take his mind off other things.

Candle runs are so much work so sometimes he waits for others in the gang to come online before doing them for the sole purpose of holding onto their hands in-game and letting them do all the work on his behalf.

He loves accepting gifts of light and hearts but almost always forgets to return the favor. Kise complains about it the most.

His Sky kid is surprisingly well put together. When choosing hairstyles, he'll always go for the longer-haired ones out of habit. He sometimes likes wearing the pigtail hairstyles, too. In terms of cuteness, his Sky kid is second only to Momoi's. You will never catch him lacking when it comes to outfits.

He likes to antagonize Kagami when Kagami shows ignorance in something related to Sky. A simple "Huh? You didn't know even this much?" would be enough to send Kagami spiraling for ages. It's a very hilarious sight to see walls of text above the head of Kagami's Sky kid as he argues with Murasakibara through the in-game chat function.

AKASHI

Another unexpectedly frequent player. It's a refreshing change of pace from his busy life.

He has fun playing solo and playing with friends, and it astounds the others what he can get up to when left to play alone. He could probably tackle some of the more dangerous realms singlehandedly.

He is another person big on lore and exchanges theories with the other lore fans of the squad, focusing on even the most minute details of the map and the characters to make inferences. Sometimes he'll think of theories that the others hadn't even remotely considered. He also follows the official Sky page for updates, too and will (along with Momoi) be one of the first to know about new Sky-related info.

He has the best control of his Sky kid while flying out of everyone. He's just really good at maneuvering tight spaces or windy currents. Also really good at diving. The others never have to worry about him if they're traveling around the map. It's actually them who have to keep up with Akashi.

He's not one to officially befriend a lot of other players per se, but he does use the common areas scattered across the map to talk to people sometimes. He enjoys the idea of being able to approach whoever without worrying about people being intimidated by him. Being able to just be treated as a regular person feels nice.

His Sky kid is always dressed so stylishly. Not too flashy like Kise but not too proper like Midorima. Akashi lets himself get creative with the outfit coordination. He especially loves the different masks you can wear and loves collecting those the most.

You can also have instruments in Sky that are actually playable, so during group gaming sessions, he likes to sit down and play songs for the squad. You can either go buy the sheet music you can unlock through constellations or you can just play whatever random notes you like. Either way, Akashi finds a way to entertain his friends.

HOW WOULD THEY ALL PLAY TOGETHER AS A GROUP?

First of all, Akamomo as the canonical activity planners of their friend circle would be the ones to reach out to everyone for availabilities so they could arrange a group gaming session.

Most of the time they do full group sessions during new seasons where maybe new parts of the map are unlocked and they all get to discover it together.

Aomine is usually the one who puts everyone else's safety at risk in the more dangerous realms. There are a few realms with dark dragons that knock winged light out of players if they spot you, and Aomine sometimes deliberately provokes them. Most of the time he isn't able to dodge, which leaves everyone else to grab his winged light for him after he gets knocked out.

Sometimes Murasakibara disappears mid-game to go grab snacks so you'll see his Sky kid just snoozing while he's inactive.

Kuroko, Momoi, Akashi, and Midorima have fixations on cave paintings in Sky and will sometimes spend several minutes going back and forth on theories and interpretations of lore.

On occasion, after all of their daily quests are done, they like to find secluded parts of the map to just chill and talk. They like utilizing Momoi's shared spaces for that specific purpose.

Sometimes Kise manages to convince everyone to coordinate their outfits,

Kagami constantly has to be saved by the Teiko gang members when he runs out of energy to fly, and it humiliates him to no end. Especially if Aomine ends up saving him because he hates owing Aomine favors.

Kuroko loves using the high-five emote a lot, especially with Kagami and Aomine.

Kise refuses to go into scary parts of the map unless someone holds his hand in-game.

Aomine will sometimes break off from the group and come back holding a crab that he picked up from who knows where.

Akashi is the one who scopes out an area for potential danger first before letting the others start wandering around. If he feels like somebody in the group is about to be in danger, he'll start calling out to them to come back.

Midorima is constantly shepherding the others whenever they get distracted from doing their daily tasks. He will always make his annoyance known whenever the rest of the group is not doing what he thinks they should be doing. He sometimes enlists Momoi for help.

All in all, they're chaotic as fuck when they play altogether, but they admit that it makes everything all the more fun.

Act 12

Episode 32: The What-If Future and The Certain Now: Yuki

Working w/ Maybelle Lace, jujumin-translates, Fea

Note: As you read, you will see that some sentences highlighted in a different color, this is what they indicate.

Pink: Flashback

Blue: Characters are acting

❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁

Yuki: ...

Yuki: (Ah, the work I registered this morning is selling again.)

Comment: "The product has arrived! It's so cute."

Yuki: (Reviews continue to be high, so it seems like things are going well.)

Yuki: (I wonder what I should make next... Accessories made with resin are nice, and the new Yurukuma version is also popular, so... but...)

Yuki: (I like a lace skirt like this. Let's add some organdy to it.)

Yuki: (Yeah, this is cute. I might keep this for myself.)

Classmate A: Hm?

Classmate B: What is this? What are you drawing?

Yuki: Geh...

Classmate A: Wow, so cute~.

Classmate B: Doesn't it suit you, Rurikawa?

Classmate: Rurikawa is basically a girl, after all~.

Yuki: Shut up. Just give me back my paper already.

Classmate B: Fly away~, fly away~.

Yuki: Tch.

Yuki: (It doesn't matter anymore. Let's go home.)

Classmate B: Even though he's a man, it's creepy.

Yuki: ——.

Yuki: (Ignore it, ignore it, ignore it. This happens all the time. I've been told this over and over again since I was little.)

Yuki: ("Even though you're a man.'' "You're a strange person.'' "You're a big boy.'' It's no big deal now.)

Yuki: ...

Yuki: (But I don't know why. It's sad, frustrating, and painful. What I like shouldn't matter to anyone.)

Yuki: (It doesn't matter if I'm a man or a woman. I just want to be me.)

Yuki: (I want to be surrounded by the things I like. That's all. So why do I have to be made fun of like this?)

Yuki: (It doesn't matter anymore. Even if no one understands me—)

Yuki: ——.

Classmate A: Ha~, I was really sleepy.

Classmate B: Let's stop by the arcade on the way home.

Classmate C: Today's club activities are indoors, so gotta go now.

Yuki: ...

Yuki: (I think I'll go straight home. Up until now, there were rehearsals and costume making, but not now...)

Classmate A: Rurikawa, wanna come with us? It's been a while.

Yuki: No, I'm—

Yuki: ...

Yuki: (I wonder if this is also a hypothetical life where I don't join MANKAI Company.)

Yuki: Ok. I'll go.

Classmate A: Do you go to the game centers, Rurikawa?

Yuki: Well, sometimes. What do you usually do?

Classmate B: Well, I'm good at that.

Yuki: Crane games? I see.

Classmate B: If you want something, I'll get it for you.

Yuki: Hmm.

Yuki: (That stuffed dog is cute, but... it's okay.)

Yuki: Those sweets.

Classmate A: Is that okay?

Yuki: Yeah.

Classmate B: That'll be a piece of cake. I can afford it.

Classmate A: Where should we go next?

Classmate B: How about karaoke?

Yuki: ...

Yuki: ...It's not enough.

Classmate A: Yeah, the sweets made me hungrier. Should we get something to eat?

Classmate B: I want to eat ramen.

Yuki: That's not what I meant—

Yuki: Ah, this is the new...!

Classmate A: What is it?

Classmate B: What? This dress?

Yuki: (Ah, I just came up with a good design! I have to draw it out...)

Yuki: (Yeah, this feels good.)

Classmate A: You finished?

Classmate B: Show me, show me!

Yuki: Just a little bit then...

Classmate A: Awesome. It's amazing that you can draw something like this in no time at all.

Classmate B: Is this your next costume? Will you be wearing it?

Yuki: ...I don't know about that.

Classmate A: I think it would suit Rurikawa.

Yuki: Huh...

Classmate A: Well, the costume you wore when you played the role of a princess was really great.

Classmate B: I also liked your cat one.

Classmate A: But the best one for sure is Scheherazade!

Classmate B: Isn't it!

Yuki: You guys made fun of me over it though.

Classmate A: Yeah, that's right, but when I saw it, I thought that you were cute and beautiful, but most of all cool!

Classmate B: At first, I thought you were a strange guy because you looked like a woman even though you were a man. I thought it was just your way of getting close to women, but that was not the case at all.

Classmate B: I just thought it was cool that you made things that you seriously wanted to make and were doing what you wanted to do.

Classmate: It was my fault for making fun of you over it.

Yuki: Cool...

Muku: Yuki, I have to say, you're really cool.

Yuki: Huh? Why?

Muku: You know, earlier...

Yuki: I was just taking a page out of the God Troupe's fan service routine.

Muku: I know, but it was still really cool of you.

Yuki: ...

Yuki: ...Come here.

Muku: Sure.

Muku: Seriously, you were really cool right now.

Yuki: ...Mm.

Muku: The way you can keep calm when someone treats you like that, Yuki... I really respect that about you.

Kazunari: I've been thinking about it, and the costumes just don't fit the characters. They're super plain and typical and—

Yuki: And I told you, that's the best I've got right now! It's not like I had the time to think of something better!

Kazunari: I get that, but still, it's not like you to compromise on costumes!

Yuki: Then what do you want from me? I haven't even been able to focus on my acting. Are you saying I should just give the lead to someone else?

Kazunari: That's not what I mean! I told you before, didn't I? That I would help if you needed it.

Yuki: ...

Kazunari: I'm the co-lead this time around, and I'm here to help you see this through, Yukki. So let me, okay?

Yuki: I don't...

Yuki: I don't want to settle for such crappy costumes, either! I'm not happy with them at all!

Yuki: All my life, making clothes has been the one thing I'm good at—the one thing I could do better than everyone else.

Yuki: No matter what kinds of insults got thrown my way, I never cared because I knew I was good.

Yuki: Clothing is what I pride myself on the most... But still...

Yuki: I don't wanna give up on this play! I want to see it through! Acting is just as important to me as making clothes.

Yuki: That's why I can't give up on them. I want to do them both.

Kazunari: Yukki...

Yuki: ...I need help. Please.

Taichi: Ta-dah! How is it?!

Tenma: How many times are you going to ask that?

Masumi: He's been saying that ever since we finished making the costumes.

Izumi: You're right...

Taichi: Every day, I'm curious about you guys' opinion!

Yuki: It suits you, of course. I made the costume, after all.

Yuki: (When I joined the theater company, met the Summer Troupe and everyone else in the theater company, and started performing on stage. My classmates weren't the only ones who changed.)

Yuki: (I myself have changed the most. I am more confident in myself than before. I can now proudly say that I like what I like.)

Yuki: (I made the costumes that I wanted to make, and everyone was really happy with it and said it was a treasure...)

Yuki: (When I stood on stage, both the costumes I wore and I, myself, felt alive.)

Yuki: (A place where I can be myself. A place that accepts me as I am.)

Yuki: (There are many more costumes I want to make. There are clothes I want to wear.)

Yuki: (These are the clothes I made! What do you think? Isn't it cute? I want to say that!)

Yuki: What should I do...

Classmate A: ?

Yuki: (Right now, I really want to make costumes. I can't help but want to be on stage. I want to go home right now and draw the design.)

Yuki: I'm going home. Thank you.

Classmate A: What? Oh, sure.

Classmate B: See you later?

Yuki: I'm home.

Yuki's Mother: Oh, you're here. This arrived for you.

Yuki: ??

Yuki: (It's from Sakuya. A postcard...?)

Sakuya: "There was a child crying in the park the other day, and when I went to cheer her up, she stopped crying...''

Sakuya: "She said that I was so cheerful that it surprised her enough to stop crying."

Sakuya: "Her words reminded me of Yuki's."

Yuki: As expected of 100% Energy Concentrate.

Sakuya: "The child gave me a cute dog sticker as a thank you, so I'll share it with you. I thought you might like it, Yuki.''

Sakuya: "I want to wear Yuki's costumes again on stage soon."

Yuki: ...I'll make something extraordinary.

The Mesmerizing World of Origami: Unfolding the Art of Paper Folding

Introduction:

Origami, the ancient Japanese art of paper folding, has captivated hearts and minds across the globe for centuries. With the simple act of folding paper, intricate and beautiful creations come to life. In this comprehensive exploration of Origami, we will delve deep into its history, techniques, and the many wonders it brings. From its humble beginnings to the modern-day evolution of this art form, you’ll discover the magic of turning a simple piece of paper into a work of art.

The Origins of Origami:

Origami, which comes from the Japanese words “ori” (to fold) and “kami” (paper), has a rich and intriguing history dating back over a thousand years. But where did it all begin? Let’s unfold the story.

In the 6th century, Buddhist monks brought paper to Japan, and this marked the inception of paper folding in the country. Initially, it was used primarily for ceremonial purposes and rituals. It was considered a highly sacred art form, with paper cranes symbolizing peace and longevity.

The Basics of Origami:

Before we dive deeper into the world of Origami, let’s master the basics. To create origami masterpieces, you’ll need a few essential tools: a square piece of paper, your hands, and, most importantly, patience.

1. Selecting the Right Paper: The type of paper you choose can significantly impact your origami experience. Thin, square sheets of paper are ideal, and origami-specific paper is readily available. However, you can start with regular printer paper or even recycled paper to practice.

2. Understanding Folds: Origami revolves around a few fundamental folds — valley folds, mountain folds, and pleats. Valley folds create a “V” shape, mountain folds create an inverted “V,” and pleats involve folding multiple layers of paper.

3. Following Instructions: When you’re just starting, it’s helpful to follow step-by-step instructions or watch video tutorials. These will guide you through the folding process and teach you different techniques.

The Art of Patience and Precision:

One of the most crucial aspects of Origami is patience. Precision is key when folding intricate designs. Each crease and fold should be crisp and accurate. Take your time and don’t rush the process; it’s all part of the art’s meditative nature.

The Fascinating World of Origami Styles:

Origami is far from a one-size-fits-all craft. There are various styles and techniques, each with its unique charm. Here are some popular Origami styles:

1. Traditional Origami: This style focuses on classic designs like cranes, frogs, and butterflies. It’s an excellent starting point for beginners.

2. Modular Origami: In this style, multiple units of the same shape are folded and assembled to create complex 3D structures. The famous “Sonobe Module” is a prime example.

3. Wet-Folding: This technique involves dampening the paper before folding, allowing for smoother, more organic shapes. It’s often used for creating animals and figures.

4. Tessellation Origami: Tessellations are intricate geometric patterns formed by repeating a single folded shape. This style is a fusion of mathematics and art.

Origami in Popular Culture:

Over the years, Origami has not only remained an art form but has also made its mark in popular culture. From movies to fashion, Origami’s influence can be seen in various forms:

- Origami in Film: The movie “Blade Runner” featured origami animals as a symbolic element in its storyline. These paper creations added a layer of depth to the narrative.

- Origami in Fashion: Origami-inspired clothing and accessories have graced runways worldwide. Designers draw inspiration from the art’s precision and geometry.

- Origami in Mathematics: Mathematicians have also found inspiration in origami, leading to discoveries in geometry and engineering.

Are you ready to embark on your own origami journey? The possibilities are endless, and the satisfaction of creating something beautiful with your own hands is truly unparalleled.

To get started, all you need is a square piece of paper, a dash of patience, and a touch of creativity. Origami offers a world of possibilities, from simple creations to complex masterpieces.
