![]() ![]() Afterwards, Reishi becomes obsessed with Ryuusuke, who she claims to have fallen in love with. Unfortunately, it’s the intersection pretty boy that comes across her first and tells her to worry about her own love life. Concerned for her friend’s relationship, Reishi attempts to get a fortune told on behalf of Midori. When Ryuusuke realizes his own bad experience with intersection fortune telling is related to a tragedy experienced by Midori’s family, he tries to pull away. It’s clear there’s something between them, and Midori’s friend Reishi encourages them to pursue each other. At school, Ryuusuke reconnects with Midori – a girl he used to go to school with. Intersection fortune telling seems like a cute game, but girls keep killing themselves while playing – often after running into an otherworldly, beautiful boy that appears during times of thick fog. Ryuusuke, returning to town for the first time since he was young, doesn’t like the sound of this game – it turns out he had his own experience with intersection fortune telling ten years ago that ended in tragedy. All a person has to do is stand at a corner of an intersection, and ask the first person coming by to give them a fortune.

If you had lived in Edwardian times do you think that you would have been a suffragette? I had to do some basic research, reading Edwardian novels and social history books and I obviously needed to bone up on my knowledge of the Pankhursts – but I don’t like to spend too much time on research. How long did it take doing all the research on Edwardian times and the Suffragettes and how do you go about your research to make the historical detail accurate of Edwardians and the suffragettes so convincing? ![]() ![]() Opal Plumstead: schoolgirl, sweet factory worker and Suffragette and star of Jacqueline Wilson’s 100th book!
