I've made my peace with Ena5 but damn, I wish I could be happy for the MizuEna feast but I can't when it's at the expense of Mizuki's lackluster arc conclusion. U_U

#puse fanatacism #I mean at least Mizuki declares that she wants to stay with everyone and decides to not run away #and like we know she finally tells them her secret but it's just soooo unsatisfying that it's fade to white off screen #like the coming out scene should have been the falling action or finale why does it feel like the event ends with just the climax lmao #like I get it I expected the writing to remain subtextual so I'm not that upset with the lack of confirmation of Mizuki's gender id #But I'd argue they could've still done the coming out scene even with vague-ish dialogue #and I bet ppl would be less mad about it if we could at least see a showcase of Mizuki's development and bravery #like “hey I didn't always look like this. Back in middle school this is who I was but I changed to become more authentic to what I want”#that would've been fine that would've been *enough* and aligns with Niigo's style of writing tbh #But augh they somehow couldn't think of doing the bare minimum #and you just KNOW that clpl KNEW they were lazy so they spruced things up with visual theatrics #just to distract with how the dialogue was Not Very Good #I will say that the mizuena confrontation does have merits to it #but augh it's also kind of messy cuz skirting around the problem hurts the writing of that scene #ANYWAYS #I quite liked the side stories though in isolation they're pretty good #I also did like the first couple chapters of the event so it ain't all bad #but man this is the one event I will say I truly disliked and prsk had a high bar for me to dislike an event #soooo yeah I still love the game dw #but it also pains me a bit knowing that it'll have a rocky reputation of being the game that trans-baited for 4 years #it's abysmal I'll get over it and I've survived worse narrative decisions from other IPs #but I am feeling the equivalent of having your partner you love very much and you think can do know wrong does something wrong #and u dunno how to feel #do I dare tag?#ena5 spoilers #yeah whatevs
