The yearly Godzilla party hat! This year in two different versions because playing with levels sliders I liked both!

I decided on a personal theme of appreciation for Godzilla’s impact on architecture in Tokyo. He gets a lot of credit for knocking buildings down, so let’s give him some credit for inspiring these structures to be built.

I’ll be at Godzilla Festival at Hibiya Square on November 3 this year!! And also at Godzilla Expo Osaka a few days later! And I’m also going to go to the theme park on Awaji Island! Happy Godzilla Day!!!

sorry if youve already talked about this before or something but what kind of gifts do you think the dan would get eachother??

well that depends on who is giving who a gift... but as a general headcanon, i think mekatrio + mary are used to handmade things 'cause money was always tight.

mca talkers mentions kano doing pottery and kido being into knitting because they wanted to make presents for kenjirou, but end up getting too into the hobbies. mary makes artificial flowers in canon too. so i think they all give handmade stuff for each other most of the time, and i doubt the habit goes away when they start getting better financially, so they'd get handmade presents for the rest too and they don't realize how sweet it actually is lol. ayano as well i think she makes cute cards and is like leslie knope from parks and recs when it comes to birthdays like she goes all out

on the handmade subject i think momo would be into making jewelry so she's probably gifting some of that. but when she starts getting her own payments and doesn't get her money controlled by her mom/agency, she'd go extremely hard on presents and people need to ask her to please dial it down bc they feel guilty receiving expensive things lol especially the trio. sorry for being kidomomo brained but god kido feeling self conscious over the presents they get momo vs the presents she gets for them. but for momo getting something made by kido is like. so awesome. so she would wanna go so big for her present. a paradox... a yuri paradox.

and i think shintaro haaaaates thinking of gifts so he'd probably just gift money. i'll be shippy again. so shinaya right. i think ayano gets so pissed off about it she really wants something from The Heart and this ass is like i just transferred some money into ur account. let me know what u buy lol. and ayano's like great. thanks. cause she would never tell him she's actually annoyed she'll just make shintaro play mind games to find out why she's upset, like normal people do. sorry for being ship brained again but i'll also bring up kanoshin alright? cause i can and i want to. same thing happens actually kano's also annoyed by it but he's more like fine, if ur gonna be like this send me more money than this😑 but also when he fucks up with either of them shintaro would buy a stupid gift to try and make up for it. he's a cringe idiot

hibiya is extremely normal about it. just like in canon how he buys hiyori a keychain(that she doesn't like but she's just mean, it was a cute keychain). i think if they're looking for a present for momo they fight so much 'cause hiyori wants to get cute stuff she likes and hibiya's like "momo's literally crazy we have to find the ugliest shit ever and she'll love that" and he's right

and my cuteful harutakas are also pretty normal about it and just buy stuff they think the other person would like. if it's for each other they probably get a lot of merch and nerd shit lol. this is oddly specific but i think haruka's super into lego building sets. so i bet he gets those as gifts pretty frequently lol. i also think they're both into board games and bring them over to play with everyone else so they maybe get those as presents too. peace and love on planet kagepro

A Symphony of Strangers

Pairing: Akaashi x GN! Reader

No warnings.

Word count 1K

————————————————————

In a bustling city where the streets never slept and the lights never dimmed, two strangers crossed paths. Y/N, a classical violinist with dreams as vast as the night sky, had just finished their performance at a quaint little theater in Tokyo. Exhausted but fulfilled, they decided to take a late-night stroll through Hibiya Park, their violin case slung over their shoulder.

On the other side of the city, Akaashi, a manga editor with a penchant for spontaneous adventures, was wandering aimlessly. After a long day of editing and coffee, he needed a break from the pages and the monotony of his routine. The quiet serenity of Hibiya Park at night was calling to him, so he hopped on his bike and headed toward the park.

As fate would have it, they both arrived at the same bench by the pond, the one with a view of the city skyline shimmering in the distance. Y/N, lost in thought, didn't notice Akaashi until he sat down beside them, his breath heavy from the ride. They looked up, surprised to see someone else out at this hour.

"Beautiful night, isn't it?" Akaashi said, trying to catch his breath and break the silence.

"Yes, it is," Y/N replied softly, their voice carrying a hint of melody. "I come here to think after my performances."

"A musician?" Akaashi asked, curious.

"A violinist," Y/N confirmed with a nod.

They sat in silence for a while, each lost in their own thoughts, listening to the gentle lapping of the water against the shore. The city, though just a few blocks away, felt like a distant memory in the quiet of the park.

A week passed before they saw each other again. This time, it was in a coffee shop near the theater where Y/N often played. They were waiting for their order, flipping through their sheet music, when they noticed someone familiar at the counter. It was Akaashi, staring intently at the menu, clearly struggling to make a decision.

"Try the caramel macchiato," Y/N suggested, a smile playing on their lips.

Akaashi turned, surprised to see them. "Hey, it's the musician from the park! What a coincidence. Caramel macchiato, huh? I'll give it a shot."

They ended up sharing a table, talking about everything from music and editing manga to their dreams and fears. Akaashi was fascinated by Y/N’s dedication to their craft, and Y/N found Akaashi’s passion for his work and his spontaneity refreshing. Despite their differences, they felt an inexplicable connection, as if they had known each other for years.

As they finished their coffee, Akaashi asked, "Would you like to go for a walk? There's this amazing bookstore just around the corner."

Y/N agreed, and they spent the afternoon browsing through dusty old books and sharing their favorite passages. The hours flew by, and when they finally parted ways, both felt a pang of longing, as if they were leaving something important behind.

Over the next few weeks, Y/N and Akaashi began seeing each other more often. They explored the city together, finding hidden gems in the most unexpected places—a rooftop garden, a tiny jazz bar, a mural alley bursting with color. Each outing brought them closer, their conversations flowing easily, filled with laughter and shared secrets.

One evening, after another successful performance, Y/N invited Akaashi to their apartment. They wanted to play something special for him, a piece they had been working on for weeks. As they drew the bow across the strings, the music filled the room, a hauntingly beautiful melody that spoke of longing and hope.

Akaashi was mesmerized. He watched as Y/N poured their heart into the music, their eyes closed, their fingers moving deftly across the strings. When they finished, the silence was deafening, but it was filled with unspoken words, emotions neither of them had yet dared to express.

"That was incredible," Akaashi whispered, breaking the silence.

"Thank you," Y/N replied, their voice trembling slightly. "I composed it for you."

Akaashi’s heart skipped a beat. He had never felt this way before, a mixture of joy, fear, and something deeper, something that felt like the beginning of love.

As the seasons changed, so did their relationship. What began as friendship grew into something more profound. They supported each other through the highs and lows—Akaashi’s demanding work projects, Y/N’s nerve-wracking performances. They learned to navigate the challenges together, finding comfort in each other's company.

One night, during a particularly difficult week for Akaashi, Y/N surprised him by showing up at his apartment with a bottle of wine and their violin. They played for him, a soft, soothing lullaby that eased the tension in his shoulders and calmed his racing mind.

"You're my rock," Akaashi said softly when the music ended. "I don’t know what I’d do without you."

Y/N smiled, their heart swelling with affection. "And you're mine," they replied, leaning in to kiss him.

That kiss was the start of something beautiful. They became inseparable, their lives intertwined like the notes of a symphony. They traveled together, created memories, and built a life filled with love, laughter, and music.

Years passed, and their love only deepened. Y/N’s career flourished, and Akaashi found success in his field, but their greatest achievement was the life they had built together. They moved into a cozy apartment overlooking the park where they first met, filling it with books, music, and warmth.

On their fifth anniversary, Akaashi surprised Y/N with a gift they would never forget. He had composed a piece of music for them, a blend of classical and modern, representing their journey from strangers to lovers. As Y/N listened to the music, tears filled their eyes, overwhelmed by the love and thoughtfulness behind every note.

"You’ve given me the best years of my life," Akaashi said, holding them close. "I wanted to give you something that shows just how much you mean to me."

Y/N smiled through thejr tears, knowing that their love was a symphony, a perfect harmony that would continue to play for the rest of their lives.

【KagePro】 KuroEne AU: Kuroha/Saeru leads the department store attack 🖤💙

Intro

Summary:

KuroEne AU: Kuroha/Saeru plans and leads the terrorist attack that happens at the department store in every KagePro Route, except this takes place 1 - 2 years prior to canon.

Kuroha takes Shintaro’s phone (that has Ene inside), and leaves the vicinity to possess Konoha’s body prior to his first meeting with Ene.

Previous post and context summary: [X]

Saeru hacks into the department store's control room

Me: I wanna come up with some more ideas for the KuroEne AU Route where Kuroha/Saeru plans the terrorist attack (or bomb) at the department store.

Does he just have a back-up for the bomb to not actually blow? Like a safety mechanism. Cuz he's just counting on the MekaDan to be able to disable it

F: I haven't thought about it that way—

I’d just make sure that the bomb is detectable by Ene so then she can hack it and turn it off

Me: Ooooh gotcha, that makes sense. So it has some kind of program on the bomb/explosive that Ene can detect. So then she can hack into it and deactivate the bomb.

Me: I should probably rewatch the Movie at some point cuz it's been so long, but I know how the Terrorist scenario goes in the other Routes

In this hypothetical KuroEne AU Route, I'm assuming that Kuroha/Saeru possesses one of the Terrorist dudes and is the one leading the terrorists, but he lets the operation fail cuz he wants to see what the MekaDan will do, and also so he can snatch Ene (residing in Shintaro’s phone) after

Since Saeru apparently got the department store made in the first place, he can probably get access to special/confidential (employee access only) rooms via using one of his fake identities by using Awakening Eyes to transform.

So he hacks the security system, which locks all the doors. We could have actual terrorists with a bomb or just a lockdown, but I feel like the actual bomb threat would make the MekaDan and Shintaro panic more, similar to all the other Routes

F: ‼️

Me: I just looked at the MR1 Terrorist plot chapters to remind myself

Ene wants to go to the Amusement Park with Shintaro, and also wants to go look at new clothes...

KuroEne clothes shopping date. I should write about that. Something cute in the midst of all this angst

Ene: Let's go look at some new clothes, Master!

Shintaro: (She's really fascinated by the outside world, huh…)

Different idea, but this just makes me think of Ene dragging Saeru by the arm (who lets himself get pulled along) going clothes shopping together 🤗💗

Ok so I'm just gonna note down whatever's gonna be relevant for my KuroEne AU Route.

So the terrorists get into the security system and close off all the shutters and talk over the PA system, so no one inside the building can escape. The terrorists take everyone inside the department store as hostages and ties their hands up. The terrorists announce they want a 1 billion yen ransom within 30 minutes, or else they’ll kill all the hostages. They were planning to leave via helicopter.

Shintaro can only hear Ene via his earphones cuz his phone is in his pocket.

Shintaro: That “state of the art” security system fell apart like a house of cards!

It should be easy enough for Saeru to get access to and hack especially if he got the department store made in the first place. In MR1, Shintaro connects his phone to the computer via USB so Ene can hack into the control room and open the shutters

I forget what happens in the Movie Route, I'd have to rewatch it soon. But then as you said, in the Movie, Shintaro's phone gets thrown and Hibiya finds it and gives it to Konoha

With this kind of scenario, tbh it'd be very easy to imagine one of the terrorists (Saeru or the dudes he's commanding) taking it from Shintaro directly (like when the terrorists in MR1 threaten Shintaro), but that would draw more suspicion to him, cuz if that happens, Shintaro would want to track the dude down and get his phone and Ene back

So yeah it'd be best if his phone just gets dropped on the ground after it gets thrown (I forget who threw it) and Saeru just picks it up afterwards

Later on when Ene meets Saeru, she probably asks him, "Were you also taken hostage!? Oh boy, that must've been scary...! You see, a friend of mine got caught up in it too, so I'm wondering if he's ok... We got separated during the whole ordeal!"

I'm just drafting ideas rn but I probably should write dialogue scripts eventually for Saeru organizing the terrorists. He's probably speaking to them via those audio headsets or whatever?

Saeru orders the terrorists to take all of the hostages' belongings

Me:

The other Terrorists when Saeru just dips: ❓

He's getting out of there, see ya 🤸

And he just picks up Shintaro's phone that was dropped on the ground and leaves

These guys are probably getting arrested whenever officials arrive or something

F: BRO JUST DIPPED OUT??

"Girlfriend obtained, I'm out of here"

Me: YEA I imagine he just leaves

HAHA

The other terrorists are probably just gonna get arrested and taken in for questioning once authorities arrive

I imagine he leaves before the authorities arrive. Like when Ene disables the bomb and hacks the control room so the shutter doors open, that's when he leaves. It doesn't matter to him cuz even if the other terrorists know him by his face, he'll be dumping the body for Konoha anyways

Me: I imagined that the MekaDan and Shintaro (aided by Ene) manage to get the shutter doors open and stop the terrorists. And then Saeru just picks up the phone on the ground and leaves afterwards

Tbh I could also consider the possibility of him not leading the terrorists in person, but leading them from a separate room

Cuz otherwise, that risks one of the MekaDan members seeing one of the terrorists pick up a phone off the ground, and knowing the terrorist's face (unless he made sure that no one was looking or around in the same vicinity as him at the time)

So he just gives orders via an audio headset through the control room (security room)

F: OOOH YEAH. But what about picking Ene up, how would he do that??

Me: Maybe when the MekaDan's operation is done, that's when he comes out to pick up the phone

Or he arranged for one of the terrorists to bring the phone to him (prior to the MekaDan's victory)

F: Wouldn't Shin's phone be his dearest artifact??? Shin would at somepoint search around

Me: YEAH it would be... Though I'm just going off of how you said in the Movie Route, Shintaro's phone gets thrown and Hibiya finds it and brings it to Konoha

Me: Yeah I definitely think Shintaro would search around after he realizes that it's missing. I think Saeru would take it before that happens

F: This would make sense if Saeru told the terrorists to take every single lost belongings to him directly. Telling them to only bring a specific phone would be too suspicious

Me: OH good point. I didn’t think of that at first. And then Saeru takes Shintaro's phone. And at the very end, the MekaDan gets everyone's' belongings back

F: I imagine that Saeru would specify the brand like "I-Phone bla bla bla-"

Me: YEAH like he probably knows what device it is? He could've tracked Shintaro's IP beforehand. Like prior to the terrorist plot. Cuz you can definitely find out info like what device a user logs onto a site with. Added with his knowledge of previous Routes

Me: Good idea! So I imagine Saeru tells the terrorists at the start of the operation to search through everyone's pockets and take their belongings so that they can't contact anyone without them knowing (smart idea honestly)

And then the terrorists bring him everyone's belongings (including the ones of random civilians)

And the terrorists search through the pile and bring him the one he's looking for (either that, or he searches through the pile himself after the terrorists bring everyone's belongings to him)

And then he finds Shintaro's phone (with Ene inside). Turns it off just in case

Me: Yeah like Saeru would tell the terrorists that this prevents the hostages from being able to contact others from the outside

Saeru leaves with Ene to arrange their meeting

Oh yeah, I am thinking of how this KuroEne AU scenario would play out... Y’know, the KuroEne Route where Kuroha/Saeru leads and plans the terrorist attack but lets it fail because he wants to see different outcomes. So the Mekakushi Dan stops the attack with Shintaro and Ene’s help

So I realized yesterday that the Terrorist plot would play out differently in this Route with Shintaro and the MekaDan especially if he has the Terrorists search and take everyone's belongings?

Cuz once the Terrorists take everyone's belongings to Kuroha/Saeru, he would have Shintaro's phone (with Ene inside) in his possession.

It would deal a blow to Shintaro's original plan (to have Ene help him with a 100% success rate), but I imagine he would be able to recover from this and come up with something else.

In the original version of the Terrorist plot, Shintaro has Ene uploaded to the computer (when he connects his phone to the computer monitor screen via USB) and has her hack the control room and open the shutter doors. (I forgot how they defeat the Terrorists in the movie though)

I wonder if Kuroha/Saeru just does Shintaro's job for him, like uploading Ene to a nearby computer in another room just so she can hack into the control room and detect and disable the bomb. Cuz he has to make sure Ene doesn't see his face (even if he's using one of the Terrorists' bodies)

Maybe he should put a covering over the monitor screen or something.

And then afterwards, I imagine Kuroha/Saeru just leaves with Ene, and then Shintaro and the MekaDan hurry to find the room where everyone's belongings was taken.

All other MekaDan members find their own phones, and redistribute everyone's belongings to the people taken hostage, and Shintaro panics when he doesn't see his phone amongst the pile

Me: God I love the expressions in the Novel Route where Ene apologizes to Shintaro, and when Shintaro uploads Ene to the main screen

F: In the movie, they invaded the control room, used Momo to get everyone's attention, and then Ene does her thing (Idk it just cuts to a happy, not so happy ending)

Me: OOOH I see. So they would manage to break into the control room after everything is done

F: Cue Shintaro looking for his phone in the lost and found

Me: Cuz in this hypothetical Route, once the Terrorists announce something like, "We've just received orders from our leader to search for everyone's belongings," Shintaro and Ene would be like (!?)

Cuz that puts a blow in their plan. And Shintaro's phone with Ene inside would be taken by one of the terrorists. But considering that the phone is turned off, she doesn't see anyone's face

Considering that Kuroha/Saeru lets his "plan" fail on purpose, I wonder if he just transfers Ene to the control room's computer via USB (in Shintaro’s place) so she can do her thing and hack the control room.

But Ig once the incident is resolved, Ene would assume that the terrorists were dealt with (since the shutter doors were closed and she opened it, so everyone could be rescued)

Me: YEAH so Saeru leaves with Ene in Shintaro's phone (cuz I assume that Ene returns back from the control room's computer back to Shintaro's phone once she opens the shutter doors)

And then the MekaDan would navigate to the Control Room and first take back their own phones and belongings, and Shintaro would be frantically rummaging through the pile

Shintaro: Where is it...!?!?

Kido: ......Is something wrong?

Shintaro: (Shit, shit, shit...! Did those guys take her or something......!? Ene.........!)

F: “I wonder if Saeru just does Shintaro’s job for him and transfers Ene to the control room”

Ooh this one's a good idea too

But going with the Movie. Shintaro's clumsy ass literally lost his phone and didn’t realize it 😭

Me: HELPPP

OH yeah maybe he doesn't realize until after

Me: Like there's a few ways this can go:

The Terrorists announce that they're going to take everyone's belongings and brings them to Kuroha/Saeru himself

Shintaro accidentally drops his phone and doesn't realize, and Saeru picks up Shintaro's phone off the ground and leaves

Cuz with the 1st one, at the end, Shintaro would assume:

The Terrorists took Shintaro's phone with Ene inside once they realized there was some sort of girl in the phone (and not just someone on video call)

The Terrorists accidentally dropped his phone somewhere while they were bringing everyone's belongings to the control room

F: I feel like he'd do both. Like telling the terrorists to take everything but also check everyone's pockets

Me: Yeah that makes sense. He's being a bit more “serious”

Like he’s only letting it fail on purpose so he gets a new interesting way to meet Ene

Me: Taking away everyone’s belongings including devices is really smart of him… If the terrorists had thought of this in the other Routes, it would instantly bust Shintaro's plan. And ofc Saeru Hebi with his knowledge of previous Routes, knows that Shintaro is gonna use Ene to deal with the terrorists

Me: And then when Kuroha takes back on the phone after coming back to his house and possessing Konoha, Kuroha/Saeru can just tell Ene that he picked up a phone that was dropped on the ground.

Looks like the terrorists accidentally dropped the phone on the way to the control room while they were bringing everyone's belongings to the leader.

F: Oooh that's a pretty good excuse. But Ene would also react since.. well... Konoha and Haruka

Would she even try to call him "Haruka" at somepoint?

F: "Please return me to my owner then, he lives in [X]"

Me: Yeah I wonder if Ene would have the same reaction that she does in MR2 with mistaking Konoha for Haruka... Though I imagine he's probably thought through what to say to her

(He basically scripted the whole thing in advance. Like prior to pulling off the terrorist plot, he ran through the scenario in his head many times, so he’d know exactly what to say.)

The thing is, he DOES know about her memories with Haruka. But not sure if he wants to reveal that.

Me: But then, Kuroha/Saeru is obviously not planning to give Ene back lol? He's just gonna give back Shintaro's phone to appease Shintaro and Ene's worries.

Cuz I feel like Saeru can convince Ene to stay with him by appealing to her with the proposal to make the android body, added with him being a mysterious stranger that looks almost identical to her long lost love

F: I feel like Ene wouldn't say it out loud like "Haruka??? Is that you?"

No, she would zone out a bit and overthink it

Me: OH gotcha, that makes sense. That's how I wrote it too

Like she'd just zone out and think back on the past.

Here’s a copy and paste rant from months ago!! I did this rant on a discord server so it’s pretty messy…

TW: mentions of su!cide And abuse

I don’t even know how to start but like the representation of mental health in Kagepro is amazing. I’ll start this off with like Jin doesn’t directly tell you “hey this character has this” but you just know the character has it. With Kano you know he has a compulsive lying disorder (along with some other things) because of how his music video represents it and the lyrics to his song + all the events and feelings he went through in the 5th LN. You actually get a representation (at least I haven’t seen this in like any other series) of being abused physically and emotionally, kanos mom used to abuse him physically, but a couple hours later come back crying and apologizing and it would repeat, but he didn’t think it was her fault and he loved her so much. It was only mentioned like twice in the LNs and he was really little when it happened but it’s still such a strong form of a lot of abuse that happens, not just the “I abuse my child, I feel no regret and my child hates me” type thing. Then Kano blaming himself so much for ayanos death he blames someone else for it (this ties in with survivors guilt kinda.) he also deals with getting manipulated….I can rant on abt kano but there’s other characters. We’ll go with Shintaro, obviously it’s known he has depression that’s just like there, but the representation of trauma he gets is SO GOOD. Again Jin doesn’t just go like “hey Shintaro has trauma.” But you just know he does because of the amount of representation. LTM he gets a couple of flashbacks to things, but things that aren’t just like “haha trauma is only abuse and witnessing something horrifying”. LTM and Shintaro represent that perfectly, and also him blaming himself for Ayanos suicide (survivors guilt/just guilt that comes along with trauma). Then also getting nightmares from trauma, like even if a lot of them are just Yaki talking to him in his dreams it’s still such a good representation. Also him pushing everything else away just to not forget Ayano. In the LNR Kano turns into Ayano, all the feelings Shintaro once had when he was with Ayano before came back, and he was afraid she hated him. I can go more on Shintaro but again other characters. Momo having a craving for attention when she was little because Shintaro was so much more intelligent than her. Even though she had parents who loved them both equally, she still felt not good enough, mostly mentioned in mr2, but she directly tells Shintaro she’s going to learn how to swim before him so she can be better than him in something, while not having a hateful feeling towards Shintaro. Then also mentioned in mr2 and the anime she has survivors guilt, thinking it was her fault her dad died. Then Seto in the LN route. Because he wanted to protect someone or not let go of someone so much he ended up trying to neglect and forget everyone else he loves, him thinking what if no one loved him all this time, basically running away from all his problems, and at the end of the route scared everyone would be mad at him for feeling the way he was feeling. In mr2 Seto felt helpless saying it was always like this and he can’t do anything to help, basically blaming himself for not being able to help anyone. He’s such a mess in the LNR I love him sm…..

Hibiya obviously has trauma and survivors guilt. In Otsukimi Recital he has tons of flashbacks even when he’s trying to be cheered up. Going to the park but getting flashbacks to Hiyori at the park, seeing Momo pet a cat and getting flashbacks to Hiyori petting the cat, etc. Blaming himself for not being able to save Hiyori as Hiyoris still “dead” and stuck in a loop.

Ayano with loneliness as seen in additional memory. She’s alone in the daze, and she misses everyone. But she KNOWS she had to do it, she sacrificed her health for everyone else’s even though she had to watch it do nothing in the end.

Ayano So desperately wishes to be the person everyone relies on, she loathes in it. If she can’t save anyone, what’s the point of her being there in the first place?

Haruka and Takane deal with diseases. Takane has a sleeping disorder and it makes her faint randomly, can be fatal. Haruka has a disease (most likely a heart disease) that is very fatal.

Haruka deals with things like wanting to be stronger because of his illness, feeling that sense of loneliness because he can’t physically be strong enough to do certain things, and having to visit the hospital frequently. But he wants to be himself (shown in anime.) In mr2 he deals with loneliness as everyone at school ignores him, he doesn’t have any friends but he still tries to be happy. In the hospital he finally makes a friend, he meets Takane. Takane has to leave but Haruka is stuck in the hospital due to his illness, but later Shintaro is taken to the hospital and Haruka becomes really good friends with him. But he has frequent nightmares abt Takane.

Takane deals with bottling up her emotions and feelings, she also deals with survivors guilt, thinking it’s her fault Haruka died. She was so caught up in her own pride she ignored him, she didn’t notice when he passed out from his illness. In mr2, she also doesn’t have any friends until Haruka. she deals with jealousy as well. She comes back after leaving the hospital to visit Haruka, even bringing gifts with her. But she sees Haruka and Shintaro playing video games together and laughing and stuff (btw she introduced Haruka to video games and played them all the time with him). She ran out of the hospital jealous and ended up committing su!cide

Even tho Ene is the same person as Takane, she deals with way different things in route xx and mr2. In route xx, she does her absolute best to try and not let Shintaro commit suicide, she does her best to distract him and does everything she can. She has to bottle up everything with Haruka, and keep everything from Shintaro. She’s afraid if she even brings up that she used to know Shintaro, it’ll give Shintaro bad memories of Ayano and the past. Yet she STILL tries her best to make Shintaro happy and distract him. She ends up failing, getting deleted and watching Shintaro kill himself. Plus she has to deal with her teacher literally being the one planning their deaths like??? (Even tho it’s technically not her teacher but yeah). Then in mr2 she admits she was running away from all her problems to shintaro, and says that Shintaro saved her as much as she saved him. (Ene and Shintaro stuff makes me AUGH)
