I’m guessing it’s a pet. That draws a strong parallel to what was happening in her book, and when Asa asked if she’d lost someone important the word she used in Japanese was one that would only be used to describe people.

It wasn’t a legal move in freestyle skating until recently due to the danger.

I always love watching Tsukasa get bullied by the other coaches! I can’t believe he did a backflip with no helmet just because he was told to, lol.

Also, does it still count as a back-handed compliment if they explicitly say “this isn’t meant to be praise btw”?

Edit: the music that played while Tsukasa watched Jun skate made it feel really gay.

Also it would be super annoying to actually pick up 100kg of feathers. Just think of how big that would be! I imagine it would be difficult to get a good grip on.
