Hey.. I finally watched a part of the anime S2's final ep(I needed to get Hikaru's color schemes)and I'm getting this..hunch..

Remember how the final ep's title is "Wish"? Remember how anime S1's ED, Mephisto is all about a "Wish" too?

Everyone made wishes at the shrine, didn't they? But none of them made the same wish mentioned in Mephisto: "I want my beloved's life to return. I want to see them again." I honestly think it's HIM out of all the characters that'd make that sort of wish, if anyone. If this guy has a wish, IT'S GOING TO BE EXACTLY THAT. HE'D WANT AI TO BE WITH HIM. HE'D WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN. What else would he want??

Hey, then could it really be that THIS guy made that sort of wish at a shrine or something but since that was an impossible type of wish, the god=star he made wishes on twisted it to make it seem like it could be accomplished if conditions are met and thus, THAT'S what's drove him into insanity?? The gods do seem to have some sort of power.

So.. didn't watch the ep in full but Ruby's "wish" is being emphasized in that ep, isn't it? Her actions in that ep must be her actions to make that a reality/what brings her closer to that particular wish she's made? and that had her shift pretty dramatically, under the influence of the black star? I do think that one may have the power to grant people's wishes but disastrously and unpredictably (which is why I keep bringing up that absurdity god mentioned in 144)

Kamiki's appearance near the end of that anime ep may indicate the same thing's been happening to him, that HE'S another character that's also made a wish. He did mention of wishes an awful lot as he appeared in front of both his children 147 and 153. AND that what he's being is in accordance to that wish. That part is quite confirmed, I mean, even if his analogy is very weird for your normal person to think of, he thought what he was doing was helping him get closer to Ai and feel her presence. This must have been HIS wish.

I think he must have grown insane after having made a wish to see Ai again. The two songs, Fatal and Mephisto basically have their speakers desiring the same wish in essence, they really, really want to meet this one important person in their life that's gone and they're willing to do anything to make that happen. That's why I believe it must be Kamiki who's responsible for the songs. When you look at the songs closely, there is an entity they are making the wish to, and that's a star. and if you look at Fatal, a dark one like that.

I will not stop to struggle on this stage I want to get closer to the only [ai] This foreordained destiny It's the darkness that fell out from the light of that star

この舞台で足掻くことをやめない ただ一つのアイに近づきたい 固く定まったこの宿命 あの星の光からこぼれた闇

I think;; he may have started to believe in this kind of "destiny" that doing whatever he's been doing would bring him closer to Ai after having made a wish on a star... that's what's happened!!! The star acted to fulfill his wish but it's something that couldn't happen in reality so it could have acted on his thought processes

If all my desires came true, oh, how I wish I could attain that I want to see you I wish upon the stars

あらゆる望みの総てを叶えたら　ああ果たせたら あなたに会いたい 星に願いをかけて

The bolded part of the lyric. I believe that's what this character's "wish" is.

If life returns to you, if it reaches you I don't care what happens to me But not every wish will be fulfilled And if that's not realized I shall become you

あなたに命が戻るなら　届くなら わたしはどうなろうと構わないのに どうやら総ては叶わない 叶わないならばあなたになりたい

and then it starts shifting to this other desire because it isn't a wish that can be granted.

This literally starts breaking him down.

星は砕け光る

The stars shatter and shine

that part of the lyric sounds like "Hikaru", so I always thought this song or at least this segment of the song had something to do with him ever since I listened to it.

I don't think this theory would be too much of a stretch because that's what's been happening in both songs. This guy WASN'T the type to do these things before. He REALLY wasn't; Ai is worried about him you know? He's the one guy she wanted to live forever with, you know? If I'm the author, I never make a character like that say such things without a reason. This was a guy that allowed her to say these things about. And he's completely lost it now. I don't think it's natural. I really think the extent of his change can only be possible if there's some possession or brainwashing that's involved. The black star does seem to have that sort of effect to a degree. It proves effective in terms of granting the user of its wants, but they drift far away from their usual kind selves as they do.

Even if there aren't some godly powers involved, Hikaru probably became destroyed because he had a desire that practically is impossible to achieve. But some beings can grant wishes and revive people in this manga. It's been presented from the very first chapter. Things start becoming more complicated in that case, those beings definitely would have to do with him one way or the other because it either intertwines or clashes with his wants.

In short,

Hikaru probably wished "to see Ai again".

and the entity that he wished to may have twisted him into become the person he is now.

Boom Eggman in Rise of Lyric is what people wrongfully claim Pontaff era modern Eggman to be if it were all actually true lol

they need to make the genre Friends to Friends, where two friends become queerplatonic partners, but the definition is never explained and their love for each other is never defined. The reader is simply aware of a shift in dynamic. They are not More than friends, they are simply Different, all the while never changing a single thing.

the thing is is that I'll say "im so mentally ill" but I'm actually not that mentally ill I'm really like 99% normal but the 1% mentally ill that I am keeps me from achieving 99% of the things I want out of life so I'm just like a mostly normal girl who is very slowly rotting from the inside out

What soft romance cliche are you?

love at first sight

let's be real, only children believe in "love at first sight." but you're a hopeless romantic probably sitting around in coffee shops waiting to meet "the one." and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. infatuation at first sight is more accurate. you are the moment when two people lock eyes, and the whole world stills. nothing is there but you and them. and there is suddenly a strong sense of longing. you love love, don't deny it. flowers, chocolates, the whole nine yards. because of this you are loved by many. hopefully you know it too: you are loved.

it came to my realization that 99% of my fandom related headaches would be cured if everyone understood this

[inkskinned]

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!
