Since some of you are only meeting them anew, in the comics, here's an Understand My Ship meme I filled out for Isawa Kasu and River M59A1, the pairing at the center of both the Confluence: A Person-Shaped Story novel as well as the comics. (h/t to @yamujiburo on Tumblr and the pinned post that gave me the inspiration to make this!)

Kasu and River met, initially dated, and got married in Seattle, and only several years later did they move to Japan. River's cyberization-- and the couple's service dynamic-- happened after that. I'm not pinning down an exact timeframe for the events of the comics, because I haven't written the other 4 books in the series yet, but you can assume they've been together for decades, given that they've got a daughter who's coming up on 18.

Kasu is practiced at projecting an air of command and poise, out in public, but in private, especially with River, she's a little awkward and anxious. Meanwhile, River is at her happiest when she's able to make Kasu's life a little better and kinder, and if that means taking charge, then she will take charge.

Like the lords and retainers of old, they are 一心同体-- one heart together.

(River, Kasu, and their daughter Emi are all transfem, and all use she/her in English and 彼女 in Japanese.)
