A nice continuation / slice of life chapter.
What I like about this work is how it focusses a lot on Coco's self-perception of herself along with how she perceives the world around her. She appears to be in a stage in life where she is happy being who she is but doesn't want to come off too outgoing in fear of being misjudged, negatively critiqued, etc.

In my own life's journey, I found building self-acceptance is actually easier than knowing you can remain confident regardless of what others may 'say' or show through body language.

Being 100% blind, and having very little eyesight prior to this, saved me from ill body language responses. Though this made me paranoid as I never knew if I was being a bother, or not, while out with others.

I've found tight clothing can be very comforting in some situations. I ordered a pair of footie-jammies and a Dotty The Pony onesie that were both just a bit too small. However they hold firmly and the 'pressure' feels like an embrace. Quite soothing. Though I've always been a cuddler and, if I can't get hugs and cuddles from someone else, I'll find other ways to feel soothed.

A bit shorter than the previous chapters, this one is, but the next chapter will be a bit longer according to my outline. I am not one to dive right into sex scenes but prefer a few thousand words of setting and character development first.

As I've eluded to before a lot of Coco's clothing and that of the other characters is based on things currently in my own closet, but often one step sexier than what I actually own. I'm very gender fluid irl, but would not consider myself a crossdresser because to me girl and guys clothes are equally normal for me to wear at home or in public.

And as you note she does have a strong willingness to be outgoing but is still a little shy about it, though she hides it well. Again, same for me irl.
