The obligation culture of expected responses and half-lies of tradition can be maddening for people who don't have Verity's powers. Katsuya understands.
"It is difficult for foreigners to adapt to Japanese culture." Katsuya looks annoyed by that. "Even moreso for women. And acceptance is usually hard to come by. Xenophobia is a drawback of my culture." He sighs, shaking his head.
He can't fix it, but he doesn't have to like it.
"I can't blame you for not wanting to. Hopefully visiting isn't too terrible though." Okay Katsuya. You've trained for this. Done the recon. Taken half a bottle of allergy medicine. That have arrived at their destination.
An adorable cat shaped sign beckoning them inside. It's a cat cafe! There are adorable kitties everywhere, and the hostess is quick to get them a table close to the play area where several Scottish fold kittens are batting around their toys.
The food here is adorable and cat shaped. And you get to play with the kitties. And there are health codes and it's clean. And Katsuya's wardrobe change makes sense on another level now. He would never be able to breathe again if he went in here in his normal clothes.
