Cherry Lessons

I'd been hanging onto this forever assuming at some point I'd use it to show that Johan's getting his mom's memories too...only to realize there wasn't a great timing and the one place it might make sense it'd slow down the pacing.  So this is pretty old work (i.e. written near Volume I, which was about 10 years ago now) so adjust your expectations accordingly.
I realized I never looked up if suspensions actually were a thing in Japanese schools, and a quick search is no more enlightening, but Josie could definitely be considered a bit of a delinquent so her deciding to just head home fits well.  (I spent way too long researching cherry stem tying instead...)
