>>SUKUNA'S STORY GOT DELETED YOU CAN READ IT IN A03 LINK POSTED IN THE COMMENTS<<
THE EXPLANATION FOR READER-SAN IS THAT SHE IS THE SAME ONE IN SUKUNA'S STORY, BUT THE SOUL WAS TORN APART by fear, trauma and the people's belief.
If you read the lines "calling etched in your soul, that you are lost. Specifically, you are a part of someone who has been snatched by hundreds of hands that are clasped in prayer" It is transcribed as reader-san longing for the other parts of her soul and incompleteness.
IF YOU READ SUKUNA'S STORY:
***You would remember the bonus chapter as chapter 1 but in readers POV: The explanation is because of people's fanaticism and we're talking about soul intervention here. The people's continued belief that warped a part of readers soul to be reborn too early and separated from the original owner s they can have them for themselves
***This story was made to be a parallel to Sukuna's because even in the manga, author Gege made the same parallels regarding being the honored one.
Also I don't know if anyone noticed but I followed the same blueprint from Sukuna's fic but in reverse because I want to establish the parallels of these 2 characters.
Chapter 1: 450-500 words, started with reader in a secret temple
Chapter 2: the ongoing theme of being groomed to be a sacrificed to a god/ Reader: temari ball, satoru:mochi/ everyone celebrated the sacrifice near their birthday/ dead older siblings/ Reader:summer, Satoru: winter
Chapter 3: circles around reader's first times, wanting to explore the outside that they know through child friend, and the whole narrative revolves around (Winter, autumn, summer, spring)
Chapter 4: The narrative's back bone is a poem hidden between the lines of the whole plot through italics and bold words. Basically the whole chapters in these parts are play of words as they are hiding someone. In this story Satoru Gojo
Chapter 5: centers around romance, love and the unfulfilled regret that it did not come to fruition but with the realization that they are so deeply in love with another character that they swore devotion and love to only this character in this life or probably the last.
I do truly believe that no one becomes that funny without being depressed or having a bad childhood. Unless you're a clown but even clowns don't work 24/7
Chapter 2 : Kiku never existed in the original draft of chapter 2.
His parents were supposed to be present and it was his mother who looked at him more like a ceremonial sacrifice than her child. Then I realized that it was too light: let's kill his loving mother, have him betrayed and then offer up to the fked up cult instead!
I felt like, he needed a push to isolation that would lead him to dependency with reader-san
Chapter 2 : Kiku's name means chrysanthemum.
She had a whole backstory that was supposed to be in chapter 1, set in post war 1970s, where she was picked up on the streets by the temple priestess. Kiku was supposed to be the POV while reader-san grew up so I can sort of avoid writing Satoru.
SADLY this was cut because it would just be irrelevant to the story, and explaining Satoru's deep fanaticism would be lackluster if it wasn't explained by himself.
Chapter 2 was cut in half
The whole chapter was supposed to be longer, explaining his childhood with reader-san but I left it hanging with their fateful meeting and moved them to chapter 3 where it was translated to reader's POV instead. The original or remnants of the draft for chapter 2 is put in chapter 3.
