Nezu hires a yōkai environmental scientist with a résumé so perfect it makes him feral—and immediately spirals into a humiliating sexual awakening. This creature calls him "cute" (he is strategic), short-circuits his rodent brain, and has him googling "yōkai courtship" at 3 AM instead of sleeping. Now he's offering unsolicited plant advice like a furry simp, while his inner monologue screams "they're out of your league, you disaster" on loop. When villains threaten their sacred grove, he must choose: hide behind "professional interest" or admit he's not the smartest being in the room—just the most pathetically smitten one. The rewilding can wait. He needs to figure out how to ask out a supernatural entity without combusting from sheer inadequacy.
