Third chapter of the christmas volume remake!!! This one stands out to me because its a story that goes back and takes place before quite a few chapters (the earliest possible point it can be set is some time after Chapter 2), so that mean no Iro cause he hadn't been summoned yet, and no Doggy cause he hadn't moved to Treat-Land yet.
Idk I guess that's something to touch on, not every chapter in Cookie is chronological, or rather, it could be months or years in-between chapter and it doesn't have too much of an impact (Unless previous events are brought up specifically like in this chapter). At the end of the day, the main thing about Cookie is that it's just the Treatlanders going about their daily lives with occasional otherworldly interference (tbh I debated renaming the series to "Treatlanders" or "Star Island" when starting the 2021 series just because this series is more of an ensemble deal anyway but I suppose "Cookie Takeshi" works fine toooooo)
Hope you enjoy!
