If you’re wondering something… Danbi is probably wondering the same thing. 8) Poor, poor Danbi.

Also, that is the best zucchini I have ever painted.

Cat stations and kitty butts, oh my.
 

How to put Ethan in a small room:

1. Push Ethan through the doorway, sideways if necessary.

2. Fold Ethan at least twice.

3. Hope for the best!

Also, this is update 1 of 3 this week. Keep reading; there’s more! Heads up, though: the next two contain covered nudity.

This was never explicitly said in the comic, but Master has raised Hana since birth. The timeline goes like this:

Danbi’s mom disappears.
Danbi and his half sister (same dad, different moms) move into the hive, as they’re too young to live independently.
Danbi’s sister discovers she’s pregnant with a dandelion child.
Hana is born; Danbi’s sister dies from the labor.
About 3-4 years after that, Danbi moves back to his old house in the village because he’s getting too old to live with a bunch of girls/women and no other male in the household.

A little interruption before we get back to the mystery of the pants. I know some of you were under the impression that it might take months to get that answered, but don’t worry! It won’t take nearly that long.

PS… If you reeeeally don’t want to wait, you can pledge to my Patreon! The scene containing the answer is being posted there, ahead of public updates.

Apologies for the… non-reveal. All I can say is, this is one chapter that reads much better in one go. Alas, only if I could draw the whole chapter in a week…
 

DUN DUN DUN
 

A little game of half-truths and secrets for both sides.
 

That wraps up the chapter. I’ll be taking a break next week, and chapter 17 will begin the week after that. It will be a very interesting chapter for sure…!
