(other rambling notes)

I originally was going to use axe instead of shovel but I wasn’t sure if that was too horror? But with such a short story, horror can everything so maybe this is worse? Anyway, it’s funny because the Wishies are so cute (or rather, intentionally kawaii aesthetic) with Wichu and everything else so little cabbages both makes perfect sense on a cute level, but of course anything cute can be horror too when you look at it from the other side 😂
Coming back here to add that nebulous inspirations are ARTMS' Birth & this fic.

“One, two, three,” Yuushi counts off as he plants each one in the row. Soon, the seeds will germinate, take root, and swell into cabbage heads. But first, time to take a nap.

“Argh,” Jaehee-seed yawns, stretching little arms and legs before curling back into a ball. The other two seeds don’t stir, still sleeping deeply.

A day, a month, a century passes. The rainy season is long, and it’s best to plant a tree twenty years ago. Yuushi rolls out of his bed, shooing dust bunnies away, and spots the shovel in the corner.

The cabbages are big now.
