thank you so much!! no worries about missing the initial post at all! i think i imagined joshua's ability to be something he's always had but was dormant up until a certain point after jeongcheol enlistment, which kind of was the catalyst for its awakening (?). it was never fully formed in my head to be honest. thank you for indulging my shameless self-promo and reading this little thing and commenting! i really appreciate it!
