Speaking of which, Imaizumi-dono, Keine-dono sayeth thou wert her pupil?

Something like forty years ago, but yes.

When I was just a timid, weak little werewolf

the other children found me scary and weird.

"That transformation is an amazing thing not a lot of people can do."

The one who changed me was Kamishirasawa-sensei.

"You should live without feeling bad about the abilities you're born with."

She was so incredibly kind, and made me so happy.

It's because she became a half-youkai later in life and learned to move on.

Umm, it's actually a secret from her, but...

I've actually grown my hair to be like hers.

Hoo, so it was something like that.
