Blood. Blood on her sheets, blood on her nightgown, blood probably on the mattress too, fuck! This isn’t fair! She’s too young to die! God, what has she done wrong? ---- Nanami trips over a milestone, and her resulting emotional rollercoaster derails everyone's day.

So, months and months ago, I had an idea. See, Nanami’s Egg really reminded me of menarche in some places (especially the bit where Nanami worries that she’ll be made fun of for being “late”), and I know I’m not alone on that, but I thought to myself, “if she had her literal first period it would have gone differently”. I made a post about it and messaged @palms-upturned about it back and forth a bit, and eventually (pretty recently) I had actual ideas for scenes and started writing a fic. It spun wildly out of control and this was the result. Have fun.
