Hey, cakes!
This summer heatwave is slowly killing me. But before I succumb I wanted to share the next CG I've got planned for the most recently-written scene in Nozomi's Reversal storyline.
Following her scare earlier earlier in the day, Nozomi walks Kyou home intent on fixing the damage she's inadvertently done to his mind, where he's become helplessly addicted to her powers over him.
Without the penlight to rely on, there's some uncertainty over whether it's even possible to fix him now, but Nozomi's undeterred. She has Kyou lay down on his couch while she kneels at his side and smiles gently at him, before before beginning the process of inducing a trance state in him in a more conventional way. Her methods involve having him close and open his eyes, dropping his arm a number of times and putting a hand over his forehead before waving it down his face.
Any doubts Kyou had about it working are slowly erased as he finds himself helplessly following along and feeling that familiar state of trance come over him. Nozomi's words and actions are undoubtedly having an effect, but is it enough to undo the mistakes of the recent past? Neither of them can know for sure until she has Kyou open his eyes again...
This CG will be completed for inclusion in the next early access update, due towards the end of this month where it had also better be a heck of a lot cooler :/
