Burden reduction
Chloe and Nadeshiko were facing some problems. One of them was where Nadeshiko could live: it was too cramped inside her branch, and the cherry tree she had originally lived in had deteriorated so badly that it was no longer suitable as a home.
The most practical solution was for Chloe to enter into a contract with Nadeshiko, be possessed by her, and bond with her body. Since fairies have bonded with humans in the past, they decided to give it a try with some support.
The transformation was a success, and Chloe and Nadeshiko successfully bonded. They later performed the unbinding ritual as well; Nadeshiko figured out the trick to it, and it went off without a hitch.
