#and how konoha (yellow) fits in with both shintaro/ayanos red and takanes blue

[mekatrio]

hibihiyo has soooo much unexplored potential like hello. like firstly how they are both equally suitable hosts for focusing eyes and its implied that their positions of being in the daze vs being out of the daze have been interchangeably swapped throughout different routes

which is SOOO interesting and i wished that was touched on more (forever grateful to mr2 for giving focusing eyes to hiyori). and also how theyre yuukei quartet af cuz both yuukei quartet pairs are sorted by [the one who remembers] and [the one who forgets], like:

the one who remembers: ayano, takane

the one who forgets: shintaro, konoha

and yeah i know konoha technically isnt part of the quartet but hes like acting as our proxy ok, and his whole thing is being an amnesiac. in most routes ene asks him if he remembers her and he says he doesnt. and ofc with shinaya its how yakitsu remembers the past routes while it takes a while for shintaro to.

and how this relates to hibihiyo.. cuz they have one of the more distinct dazes out of everyone. during their daze, from their point of view, theyre the one whose remembering the mini-timeloop theyre in while the other one is forgetting. on hiyori's side she sees hibiya die again and again but he doesnt remember, but its the opposite for hibiya. like they keep changing between who remembers and who doesnt.

and also hibiya shares this parallel with shintaro:

except hibiya is remembering while shintaro is forgetting... come on!!!
