Yes exactly!!! When I got that brainwave I was in the shower and was like DAMN I’M SO SMART XD Yes Edo-Nino always exchanges consciousness with other Ninos whose time he travels to. I don’t think there’s a ‘why’ but I imagine they just go to bed as usual and wake up in that time and since it’s become so regular for some of them, they just accept it as fact and learn to cope with it. Since a lot of people have been curious about the story from Edo-Ninoi’s perspective, I’m probably going to write something short and sweet detailing that :D Yesssss!!!! I love historical settings as well so I’m so so glad you enjoyed it! If you want to know more about the historical accuracies and inaccuracies in the fic, I wrote a short note up when I posted it to AO3 here (“http://archiveofourown.org/works/7425529#work_endnotes”) if you’re into that kind of thing? I’m glad you agree with my choice of Ohno being a monk! I was quite proud of myself ngl. I’m glad my characterisations worked for you!! Thank you for reading and letting me know you enjoyed it :D
