- SPY x FAMILY Vol.3 Ch.EXTRA 2 (finished volume)
Yor isn’t pain in the butt; she has one.
- かがみの孤城 (上) 75% => 78% (finished Ch.6 October)
Prelude to realization.
I am probably going to continue in audiobook.jp app, where I already have full set (下 also). There are still two chapters / months left until the end of the volume, so I might also read those to help with listening.
- うたわれるもの (Steam) 1 hour
Revived for the next match, and then one more death. I probably should read and explore how to play more thoroughly.
