Did you know a celestial maiden can only fly back home if she wears her feather robe, also known as hagoromo? Which is nice and all, providing that no one tries to steal it... as admirers of those ladies usually do. Thankfully, this is not a story about a celestial maiden.
(A retelling of the Japanese legend that inspired the Noh play "Hagoromo". Tagged as "Mature" only for use of profanities and vague references to nudity.)
