Started reading 薬屋のひとりごと and I’m curious about this odd －－－ punctuation(?) in chapter 7.
>－－－ちなみに猫猫は気づいていないようであるが … そんなこととはつゆ知らず－－－
I can’t imagine it’s a standard thing since it shows up nowhere else in the series but I’m wondering if it might be or if it has a name. Also, what purpose does it serve? As far as I can tell it just more plainly demarcates the shift from third-person Maomao pov to third-person omnipotent pov.
