Note from earlier in the chapter, the Empress describing her backstory: TP: Then one day...I fell ill. For a week, I was fluttering between life and death. SS: Then one day...I fell gravely ill. I was bedridden for days, on the verge of death. Same meaning! But props to TP for adding a bird pun.

#PetShopOfHorrors reread chapter 10: Desire! Most of the pet sales are about *some* kind of desire, I don't think it stands out in this one...and the pet's name is Daisy...but maybe Akino didn't want to fall back on "dog chapter where the title is the dog's name" a second time. Leon is stopping some kids from picking on a dog, when he gets a call: TP: What's that? A 211? Where? I'm on my way! SS: Armed robbery at the grocery on 17th?! On it!! TP feels more natural. SS is doing the "we didn't have a voice actor to play the person calling, so the person taking the call will say all the exposition as if repeating after them" trope...in a comic. Although maybe that's the joke. Props to TP for including the real CA police code for a robbery: https://police-codes.com/basic-codes/211
