[Shinobu is still TERRIFYING. --Really though, someone that capable, who could make up for their physical shortcomings... Who wouldn't be impressed? Sometimes, it's all you can do to work with what you have, however much or little it may be.
All the same...]
But it grates, doesn't it? Those little things you can't change but wish you could.
[Even if, in some cases, they're you're own doing. Even if you find a way around them.]
