Requirements & Requests

I humbly request any reader to give this story a chance and follow it as best they can. I would like to know where things can be improved, where things can be enhanced (lore, history, Japanese culture​/​language, relationships, action, etc.), and how to better present things such as trauma and redemption in much clearer ways.
