@blackcatofmisery tbh it could’ve been months, if he’s not taking care of himself, and the new year hadnt come yet, it really could have been a few months for the hair to grow while he doesn’t groom them. Which is also why the angels stuck around until Koh’s wings fully formed. Maybe they also went up and down in preparation for their final ascent? + Genji did say he was almost 18 so maybe his birthday was just a few months away.
reading is fundamental! yaoi & yuri provides the fun (?) that makes me mental :)
