[ Nanako had braced herself for the memory - the worst part about giving shinki a name, in her opinion. Having to see those last few moments without being able to do anything about them. It's always too sad, too scary, and her eyes are clenched tightly shut as Chikusa's new name etches itself on his being and his last moments flash before her eyes.
Seeing Ken there in the memory with him, his face hovering over Chikusa's at the last.... that made it even harder.
Fingers curl into tight fists as she presses them against her eyes, giving a soft sniffle as she tries not to cry. Thankfully short or not, Chikusa is still an important person to her, and to see that still hurts deeply.
But she still manages to reach up a moment later to pat a hand against the sudden new weight atop her head. A.... hat?
Of course he would be a hat. She can't even be that surprised. ]
