The Ch. 9 Nami Tangerine Villagetangerine affection seed is here given its household-tradition basis: the tangerines are Bell-mère’s cooking, her budget, her livelihood. Nami’s lifelong tangerine-attachment (her Going Merry tangerine tree, every later tangerine-scene in the series) is mother-attachment transposed onto the fruit. Forward-pattern: every Nami-tangerine scene reads against this Ch. 78 dinner.
