#The uber instincts of my uber autism are going off like alarm bells

[wataeicentric]

Been thinking very hard about how this quote perfectly mirrors what Eichi told Wataru in Element - "I can't stand to see you lose." He didn't want to follow through with Wataru's execution, because he loves him. It might sound like he's being a hypocrite, criticising Tori's sister for her human nature, but really, he's just admitting "I'm human too".

Less of a strong link is when he tells Wataru in !-era main story "You're necessary for my success" and then "Wataru's necessary in my life" in SS Sanctuary in !!-era. If love makes humans both strong and weak, then in !-era fine as a whole was made stronger by Wataru and Eichi's unspoken love for each other, but in !!-era, Eichi was made weak by losing his resolve over Wataru's absence, overthinking and assuming 'he doesn't love me anymore, he's trying to replace me' and lashed out at Tomoya, who didn't do anything wrong except be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
