I just realized the fifth trial of v3 could have gone COMPLETELY different in my ghost au oh no

// SPOILERS for Danganronpa V3

I rewatched the trial recently and just got to the end when Kaito exits the Exisal to stop everyone from reaching the wrong vote, and it got me thinking.

We aren't completely sure whether Kokichi was killed by the hydraulic press or by the poison. It could've been totally possible for him to succumb to the poison while he was laying on the press waiting for it to lower.

We have no idea how long it actually takes for the Strike-9 poison to circulate through the body, and after Kaito and Kokichi switched places, he could've succumbed to the poison while Kaito was getting back up to the controls and setting back up to lower the press.

It's totally possible for him to have died of the poison and for Maki to be the actual Blackened, but as the player we had no way of confirming his cause of death. Not even Monokuma knew because the cameras were disabled! That was the whole shtick of the case! Monokuma relied completely on Shuichis deduction for this, and he concluded that Kokichi was killed with the press.

BUT in ghost au, we WOULD get confirmation of the killer and victim but not until that moment that Kaito exited the Exisal.

Kokichis ghost could've been hanging out in there through the whole trial until that point and exited with Kaito to see everyone's expressions up close. No one would really have made the conclusion that killers see their victims ghost until they became a Blackened themselves, but Kaito didn't know that so he wouldn't have been off put by not seeing Kokichis ghost. Dude was scared of ghosts after all so it would've sent him into a panic attack anyway.

But imagine when Kaito exits the Exisal and Kokichi's bloodied ghost follows, only visible to Maki. Imagine her shock when she sees both of them still supposedly alive in front of her. Imagine the rage that would boil her blood and send her bolting over to Kokichi to try to strangle or stab him, reaching out for his spindly neck to take him down-

Only for her to phase right through him.

She falls to the floor, to her hands and knees and is hit with an entirely new shock at the realization. Oh. Oh no. Shuichi and Kaito are moving to help her up and pay no attention to the bloodied Kokichi standing beside them, asking her if she's okay after tripping like that.

That's why Gonta was acting so weird in the previous trial, saying that Miu was still with them and even more confused about why there was a trial being held. They dismissed it as her being with them in spirit, but the others had no clue how literal that was.

Kaede didn't kill Rantaro, but if she had, it would've been a dead giveaway if she was freaking out about a ghost.

Kirumis spiral at the end of her trial was probably driven by Ryoma teasing her with the occasional quip until she lost it.

Korekiyo has probably seen enough ghosts to last a lifetime, so two more would've been nothing.

Only when Gonta had killed Miu did things click.

Maki would look at Kokichi in abject horror, and he would stare back with the exact same expression because this would completely ruin his plan. She would absolutely take the chance to give up her own life to save Kaito. She had done it so many times throughout the trial already, but that was just denial. Denial that Kaito could've been dead and that she could've been the one that killed him.

The trial would drag on for longer, and Shuichi would reach the same conclusion that killers saw their victims ghost. Kaito's skin would go cold because, if that's true, then why couldn't he see Kokichi? He was supposed to be the Blackened. Not Maki. Not Maki.

Maki and Kaito would argue for both stances, desperate to save the other, until Monokuma confirms that, yes, the Blackeneds can see the ghost of their respective victim, because hey, Tsumugi has been able to see Rantaro this entire time. On the cameras, the other culprits have been talking to themselves after killing their victims, but not in a mental spiral. More of a conversation with the dead body before them, except the victim was responding.

Maki would be executed because of this, and Kaito's moral would tank because he a) just lost the love of his life, b) survived when he wasn't supposed to and c) all of that work, all of that planning Kokichi had put into this trial to end the killing game once and for all was completely wasted. He would go numb. He was ready to give up his own life for this, but Maki didn't deserve this. Maki was supposed to live, not him. This wasn't fair. It wasn't fair. The only thing trusting Kokichi got him was the love of his life dying before his very eyes when it was supposed to be him.

Oh God now i wanna write a fic where this happens

[aayakashii]

Hello! I see you're familiar with both Twisted Wonderland and Tokyo Debunker. May I humbly ask for some headcanons for the Vagastrom boys + Kaito and Luca with a reader that's basically Jack Howl?

Sorry for taking a little while to answer!! But yes of course!!! Some of the headcanons are a bit longer than others, and I'm truly sorry for that ㅠㅡㅠ some of them were just easier to write about dkfhdkdj anyways!!

Vagastrom boys + Kaito and Luca with a reader that's like Jack Howl

Alan Mido

He was absolutely flabbergasted and speechless when he realized how strong you are, after you offered your help in the garage.

At first, he wasn't going to let you help him at all – what if you got hurt?

But after seeing you effortlessly lift a whole tire and bring it to him, his resolve faltered.

You kept insisting you wanted to help him, your face beet red while you tried to explain that it wasn't because you were worried about his health...

Not at all!!

You were just bored and had nothing to do, so why not lend a hand, right? Right??

Sure...

He let out a quiet laugh and patted your head, then asked you to bring him a few tools.

And he surely wasn't going to comment on how your face lit up when he finally accepted your help.

Haizono Sho

It was, probably, 5am.

Sho decided to start pre-preparing a few of the things he needed for his food truck since it was actually very successful!

He worked alone and wanted to keep it that way, but it was almost becoming too overwhelming.

It was after he finished washing and drying all his kitchen tools that he heard the sound of steps coming towards his truck's way.

He looked at the clock: 5:30 AM. Who the hell was awake so early?

He peeked outside and was met with your flushed face as you were jogging fast and waving.

Sho quirked an eyebrow and wondered why the hell were you RUNNING so early in the morning...

And apparently, you were running for a while too, sweat dripping heavily from your face.

He was dumbfounded when you told him that you have a habit of running super early in the morning every day.

You happily offered to assist him with his kitchen, and, in normal conditions, Sho would eagerly accept your help.

You were the one who convinced him to go for his business after all!

At that moment, he had to turn you down though...

Please go take a shower first, and then you can help.

All that sweat could be a health hazard!

Kurosagi Leo

Leo was dragging you to an arcade.

He had the brilliant idea of an arcade date livestream, and he was still using you as his fake s/o, so...

The live comments were eating it up, calling you two adorable, asking you two to go to this or that attraction.

One of the comments caught Leo's eyes, though.

Someone asked him to test his strength against yours.

Leo smirked, knowing all too well that his ghoul strength could probably wipe you out.

But he accepted the "challenge" anyway.

He decided to hold back a lot in order to avoid humiliating you too much.

Just a little bit was enough.

To his surprise, though, as soon as you positioned yourself to punch, you hit the bag with a loud BANG!

His eyes widened as he saw the numbers on the game's screen go up, the people surrounding you two whispering wows and stopping to look at your score as well.

To Leo's despair, you got a score bigger than his.

You turned towards him, smiling victoriously even though you knew he had held back.

Leo's eyes twitched in extreme annoyance as he saw the live comments saying you were his top and that he was your fragile princess...

Next time, he wasn't going to hold back!

Fuji Kaito

He was absolutely distraught.

How was he going to be your knight in shining armor then?? You were probably stronger than him!!

Please don't try to pretend you aren't stronger, it just stings a lot more...

His pride is absolutely shattered, not gonna lie.

But at the same time, he was totally excited after he saw you lunge at a Frostheim student who was talking smack about him behind his back.

Chaos ensued, and Tohma had to intervene, sternly scolding you and Kaito as well.

He didn't even try to stop you, after all. He had the responsibility to do so! He's a ghoul!!

Tohma's scolding went into an ear and out of the other though.

Kaito stared at you, your frown, and the way you rubbed the back of your head in embarrassment, looking extremely endearing to him.

He was suddenly getting very comfortable with the idea of being protected by you instead.

Lucas Errant

Kaito was distraight, now Luca? He's 100% excited.

You must be so disciplined to be so strong! He needs to know your routine! How about you two train together from now on? (Kaito vetoes the idea)

No, wait: what about you two spar?!

Poor Luca was so excited by the idea that he forgot he is still a lot stronger than you since he's a ghoul...

You sheepishly told him that that isn't the best idea, but that you'd be up for jogging with him or keeping him company in the college's gym.

His favorite pastime became going out to eat some hearty meal with you after you two train hard together.

He thinks you'll be an invaluable person to help him with everything from now on (including his personal mission, maybe...)

If you two were already attached to the hip (alongside Kaito), be ready to see him a lot more from now on!

White Rascals is Rocky's Coping Mechanism

My favorite character might be Cobra, but I have a soft spot for Rocky. Why? Rocky is the only SWORD's leader with clear childhood background. It's a personal thing for me because I'm studying child education including behavior, development, psychology, and so on; I could see how his childhood affect his personal trait as an adult.

You might hear it before but, yes, our childhood really affect how we act as an adult now. With a clear background in the plot, I could see it clearer than any other characters. It helps me understand him as a person. He's a fictional man, that's right, I couldn't deny that, but it's fun to learn about people.

Now, I'm going to try to elaborate how to understand his character. Disclaimer that English isn't my first language and I'm not fluent. I might have grammar errors, but I hope you could still understand what I'm trying to say.

So, let's go.

Rocky came from a broken family with an abusive and alcoholic father. His father abused his mom, sister, and I bet he himself too. It was hard for them. At the end of the day, his mom and sister committed to something I don't need to say. A whole fandom knew it already.

He was in elementary school, too young to look at the scene, and it must traumatize him. Although, he might didn't understand it. With his experiences and what happened to both his mom and sister which he loves dearly, he has a new goal: to save women. So that women don't have to suffer. So that no more women suffering like his mom and sister. He did it on behalf of them.

Coming from abusive father, his trauma might lead him to be someone just like or unlike his father at all. There's no in between. The good thing is, he is a polar opposite of his father. He devoted himself for the sake of women's well-being.

I bet his mom is so sweet towards him despite the abuse she received probably every time his dad was around. Look at them, they're so cute.

This scene is so sad. I don't need to elaborate anything. But when you're born into a dystopian city, being strong is a must. That's how to thrive.

Another thing that we need to highlight is where he grew up to be an adult. Needless to say, I assume with how his mom and sister died and the fact that his father is not capable to raise a child, he grew in orphanage. Perhaps.

He respects women, but he didn't really know how to treat women before. I mean, we can take a look on S2E06 when he immediately stops when he found out that Kizzy is a transwoman, and they went to save other women from Doubt.

I mean, he grabbed women's wrist aggressively even though he said that he doesn't hit women (like his father), and Kizzy stopped him. I have a head canon that Kizzy has to lecture him on how to treat women.

With Rocky, Kizzy, and Kaito (I might have to write about Kizzy and Kaito later), White Rascals was born. Anyway, this is how Koo reacted when Rocky told him about his past.

The wound, the trauma, would still be fresh for him no matter how much time has passed. He needs therapy, for real. Please go seek some professional help. I beg you.

But maybe, that's how Rocky cope with his trauma. He saves women, while he wishes he could save his mom and sister. He saves women, as he keeps remember about his mom and sister. He doesn't want any other women end up like his mom and sister.

White Rascals is his coping mechanism.

[sagurus]

Sure! When you have time I would love it if you any interactions between Saguru and any of the Gosho girls. It doesn't have to be shipped or whatever, but it's just because I've read so many of his interactions with the Gosho boys and I feel like the girls are underrated in that sense. I love crack and I love Saguru and I adore your writing and edits :)

Hey anon from 2018, lmao. You're right, there really do need to be more interactions between Saguru and the girls. I have a WIP I started recently that I feel really shows Aoko's acuity. It's not crack, but instead a tense interaction between two friends.

Eventually this'll make its way to AO3, but for now, here it is:

--

“So, Saguru-kun…”

Saguru finds himself bracing. Aoko has seemed to be in a strange mood the entire evening. He’d almost wondered if she was irritated with him at first, or maybe just more disappointed about Kuroba’s last-minute cancellation than she wanted to let on. But their plans had gone as expected otherwise; they studied, watched a show Aoko had been excited to show him over some reheated leftovers, all without incident. Now they’d settled in the living room, occupying themselves with their own activities.

But now, as casual as she was trying to seem, Saguru detected an underlying tension.

“Yes, Aoko-san?” He kept his eyes on his book.

“Did you know that Aoko’s dad thought Kaito was KID once?”

Saguru’s entire train of thought stuttered to a halt. Every thought vanished — and then his mind raced with questions. For what reason was she bringing this up? What kind of reaction was she expecting?

Her gaze was drilling into him, he could tell. She hadn’t turned away from her video game, but she had to be concentrating on him in her periphery. The sensation of it raised the hair on the back of his neck..

He turned the page, but wasn’t reading anymore.

“Did he? I’ve never heard anything about that,” Saguru said mildly. His heart rate was elevated. He focused on breathing normally.

“Yeah!” Aoko said, and she said it with a giggle. A feint. “He told me that and I thought it was so strange. Sure, he’s obnoxious, but he’s not stupid Kaitou KID.”

It was best to leave space in the conversation. He didn’t say anything, waiting for Aoko to continue.

“Anyway, Dad got a look at him at one heist, and he was sure he looked like Kaito. So to prove him wrong, I asked Kaito on a date!”

“A date?”

“Yep! I mean, thinking back that was pretty silly, but it got him to come. But isn’t that so weird? That he’d even think for a second that Kaito was KID?”

She sounded so cheery. The version of herself she put on in class when she was getting along with everybody. Masking away her acute intelligence and calculations. He used to think she wore her feelings on her sleeve - and to an extent she did. But these days he knew that there was plenty she kept under wraps. She and Kuroba were truly quite the pair.

“It does seem like a strange conclusion for the inspector to come to.” He tried to keep his voice neutral as he could. “How did the date go?”

Aoko stuck her tongue out, and for the moment turned her eyes back toward the screen, organizing her character’s inventory. “Oh, you know. Bakaito. He was his normal annoying self, but he showed up on time. We met up at Tropical Land and had a lot of fun! We saw a 3D movie and everything.” She paused, then added, “Actually, I even handcuffed us together. Which was probably overkill, honestly.”

Great minds think alike.

“And the heist?” Saguru asked.

“Oh, the heist still happened. And Kaito was with me the whole time.”

“Well, I imagine that remedied the inspector’s suspicions?”

“Yeah. Dad never said anything about it again.”

The conversation lulled into silence, but the tension in the room was palpable.

“It’s just weird. That’s the only time Dad has ever had a suspect. Honestly, I don’t get why he’d even entertain the idea.”

Saguru hmmed, hoping it sounded like agreement.

“I mean, Kaito is way too young to be KID. Everyone knows Kaitou KID has to be in at least his forties.”

“That does seem to be the most prominent theory,” Saguru said neutrally. It wasn’t the most satisfactory response, he knew. But he could toe this line, if he focused on the commonly-held beliefs and not his own hypotheses and opinions.

“I wonder who Kaitou KID actually is. Whoever it is, I really can’t stand him. I’d like to give him a piece of my mind for all the trouble he’s causing everybody.”

“That’s fair of you.” Saguru wouldn’t condemn KID himself. But he’s already made clear to her that he doesn’t share the same hostility. “What with KID’s talent, I wouldn’t be surprised if the public never comes to know his identity.” After a moment, he amended, “Not to imply the task force is lacking in talent or capability. Your father has prevented many thefts from coming to fruition.” Never mind the fact KID so far still hadn’t truly stolen anything regardless. “But no matter how successful plans are on this side, KID has still proven successful as an escape artist, if nothing else. We’ll just have to see if ever he’s caught, or we get a hint.”

“It would be nice, though,” Aoko said, and Saguru had a hard time reading her tone. “To know who it is.”

What was she trying to accomplish here? It felt like she was fishing. Like she wanted a specific response from him. She might want him to agree that it was a ridiculous idea, confirm that the suspicions were completely unfounded. But he couldn’t imagine lying to her outright. But on the other hand…

“Have you ever suspected anyone of being KID, Saguru-kun?”

Ah.

“Well,” he said.

He couldn’t bring himself to lie to her, but he certainly couldn’t tell the truth. Saguru wouldn’t betray Kuroba like that; Kuroba may not trust him, but Saguru wasn’t going to confirm Kuroba’s own impressions.

And it wouldn’t just be betraying Kuroba. It would be a betrayal of one of Aoko’s closest friends.

No winning. Catch-22.

He forced himself to turn the question over in his mind, as slowly as he could allow without seeming as if he took too long. It wasn’t like he’d obtained any real proof. Other than observable evidence that Kaito wasn’t KID. And the DNA proof he’d destroyed. Of course, Saguru knew, but technically he’d proved the opposite.

“You’ll laugh, but I actually suspected Kuroba once myself.”

Aoko paused her game. “You did?”

And now the tension amplified exponentially. Did she know? He’d suspected before that she might. With how perceptive she was, how could she not have at least considered it?

Even then, that didn’t mean he could confirm it. Kuroba was the only person who could do that.

Steady. “Yes, well. I did test the theory, and my suspicions were proven false.” Based on the happenings, anyway.

“How did you test it?”

Saguru crooked a slight smile now. Casual. Easy. Amused. “Much like you, I handcuffed myself to him just before the heist began.”

She still didn’t say anything.

“So, in both of our cases, the heist still went on. So that would appear to clear Kuroba’s name on two different accounts,” he said lightly.

“Yeah, I guess it does.”

She’d slipped a little, seemed more pensive than casually amused. She recovered quickly. “It’s so funny that both of you thought it was Kaito.”

The way she continued circling, the way she persisted… on some level, she must know.

Aoko asked, “What made you think it was him, anyway?”

At least the capacity of the labs was something he wasn’t at liberty to discuss. “Probably proximity bias,” Saguru said. It wasn’t entirely untrue. “KID has a tendency for elaborate magic tricks, and Kuroba is certainly the most talented magician I’d ever met.” And then, after a beat: “But there’s plenty of talented magicians out there.”

Aoko hmmed, and fell silent again. Saguru imagined her putting him under a microscope, considering everything he said. Everything he didn’t say.

She unpaused her game and resumed playing. “Yeah, Bakaito could never be KID,” she said.

But all Saguru could think was that there was no way she didn’t know how false that was.

[beekindtobees]

Kaito is probably more lenient with wanting to reveal identities, his whole trusting philosophy leaking into the argument of: "it would help us as a team! We'd be stronger if we knew each other behind the masks!" While Kokichi would be on the strict with identities side. "No one can know both of our identities- ever."

It's easier for Kokichi to wear the mask cause he already wears masks every day all the time. But I think Kaito would have a harder time not being able to... take credit? Not in a selfish way, I mean more in a reassuring friends and showing he's got the right to tell everyone it'll all be okay, ya know? (...but also he's a damn superhero and that's the coolest thing ever I wish I could tell my sidekicksssss)

kokichi is constantly reminding him about secret identities, bc kaito just wants to tell him everything !!

the fact that the secret isnt out at this point is a miracle !!

[andromebaa]

what are some of your favorite headcanons for just the two of us?

Oh man, I have so many lol. I'm gonna split them into serious stuff (plot/character hc), cute stuff (pairing/shipping hc) and dumb stuff (they're idiots hc). This is definitely not all of them, just the ones I could think of tonight. Kinda spoiler-ish if you haven't read up to the most current Just the Two of Us chapters so be warned! Serious Stuff

Kaito as a hero archetype always fascinates me. I feel like he has this compulsion to help others, especially those he perceives as weaker or unable to protect themselves. I think that's why I portrayed his 'biggest fear' in the simulation as hurting the people he loves the most and losing control in a way that makes him become a monster. (Very fun to consider depending on your HCs about his pre-game personality ehehe)

Kokichi is a walking bundle of trauma. So much has happened to this guy and I'm sure it's been dissected by people smarter than me but like - compulsive liar? Tiny? Really good at hiding? Those weird little spacing-out moments he gets? Something bad happened to you, didn't it? Like, maybe not as BAD as what I've depicted, but yeah. Poor baby.

Shadow Child was created as a representation of both Kaito and Kokichi's 'inner children', specifically the darker and more traumatic parts of their childhoods. They are portrayed more often as Kokichi because his trauma is much larger and more pronounced, and therefore more influential in the subconscious part of the simulation. I don't know why I stuck with they/them pronouns for them, it just kind of felt right?

The leech was based on Kaito's subconscious fears of his death. The concept of this parasite that drained its host's life force felt fitting for a death fear sort of thing. It also represents the loss of control he feels over this aspect of his life. It kind of 'evolves' as it takes in influences from other people, but that's kind of its main framework.

Miu's Copy had a massive breakdown during the bathroom scene. It was kind of her last straw before she turned on the leech. She kind of reflected on what she knew about the original Miu, the contents of the simulation and how Kaito and Kokichi interacted and it made her realise how fucked up everything was and how much she did not want to participate. Also she was getting sick of all the edgy thoughts leech was putting in her brain.

Cute Stuff

Kokichi's favourite food never used to be strawberries, it changed after Kaito fed them to him and he got some sort of psychological association between strawberries and him.

On that note, Kokichi probably can cook, like, decently, but he kind of plays up his ignorance because he likes Kaito showing him how to do it.

Kaito is super super into domestic life lol he can try to pretend he isn't but he so is. Definitely got into a routine when they were stuck in the simulation for that year.

Being with each other for that year made them get a really close, almost psychic-ish bond that people get when they spend too much time with each other. It's how Kaito can pick up on when Kokichi is lying, for example.

After he overcomes the whole 'don't touch me' hurdle, Kokichi swings to the other side of the pendulum and is very clingy. Won't leave Kaito alone. It annoys him at first but it grows on him.

They have lots of petty squabbles but they usually don't last. They're not fantastic at apologising properly to each other, it's usually just settled through physical affection or gifts (food).

Dumb Stuff

Kokichi drank shampoo the first time he saw it because he thought it was a fruity beverage. That's why Kaito started washing his hair for him.

Kaito named all his plants. He gets offended when Kokichi forgets them.

Miu definitely had relations with her P.A.L self.

I'm sure I'm missing a bunch lol but yeah headcanons woo! Thanks for the askkkk <3

[project-sekai-facts]

Me and my friend had a crazy idea. Since every prsk character is depressed and needs therapy, could a sekai be representing therapy through music???

I would love to hear your thoughts on this!!!

I don't think it's a crazy idea at all and I would say there's definitely truth to that statement actually! The Vocaloids in each SEKAI all exist to help the characters reflect on and understand their feelings, even the SEKAI themselves do this sometimes (e.g: the sky in School SEKAI changing with the girls' feelings, the stuffed toys in Wonderland SEKAI being influenced by the troupe's emotions). While not all the character's problems are solved directly through music, music and community does tie it all together, and of course, the SEKAI is directly tied to Vocaloid. So yeah, the SEKAI does seem like a stand-in for music therapy, even more so when you consider that songs based on the character's emotions actually manifest within the SEKAI. I think this whole system helps them a lot with processing their emotions and understanding themselves, in the same way therapy does.

I do just wanna correct one thing there and say that not every character is depressed. Yes, they all have their low points, but no way are they all depressed. You look at someone like Kohane, who I would consider one of the most mentally healthy characters. She's very she and has quite low self-esteem early on in the story, but I wouldn't say she was depressed at any point.

I do think though, since they are all in that later part of their teenage years where you're getting closer to adulthood and there's just so much stuff going on, that the SEKAI are a really good outlet for them. They just need to get their feelings out sometimes and therapy can be really good for people in that age range even if you aren't depressed or otherwise mentally ill.

I think Empty SEKAI is the most obvious example of being a theraputic sekai. Even if it's not conventional or the greatest at times. Most of the virtual singers are standoffish and definitely don't handle things in the right way, but they still do help the characters come to terms with their feelings. Specifically outlining KAITO in immiscible discord here. Don't want to spoil it for people who haven't read it so I'll be quite vague. But that is not how you handle a situation like Mafuyu's. Yes, it was something she needed to face, and deep down knew (KAITO is derived from Mafuyu after all), but he was extremely harsh on her when what he was telling her should've probably been let down on her much lighter. I'm not to familiar with the work that the event song is based on but it shows that Mafuyu is slowly accepting what KAITO was telling her - she hates what she has become because of how she let people treat her and even if she isn't ready to outwardly accept it entirely yet, deep down she has, and the SEKAI has created this song to help her reach that acceptance. The song is surprisingly aggressive which makes a lot of sense when you consider that KAITO is the featured vocaloid.

On the better side of Empty SEKAI you have Miku. Miku is really interesting to me because she is mainly a source of comfort rather than a guide or a therapist. She's always there for Mafuyu and will do anything Mafuyu wants or needs. Because, especially when the SEKAI manifested, Mafuyu just needed something. Miku is actually very similar to Mafuyu in that she doesn't feel a whole lot and she's learning about all these new emotions at the same time as Mafuyu re-learns them. It's a journey they're taking together and although it's not conventional, I think it helps Mafuyu a lot to just have someone there to walk the same path as her.

I think it's especially interesting that the only song in the SEKAI at first was the one Kanade wrote. Although she wanted the other Niigo members to stay out of her business at the time, the song still meant something to her. There was someone who cared enough to try. She didn't truly grasp that that was how she felt, but Miku did, even if she wasn't entirely aware of it either. Music is an integral part of Mafuyu's recovery in particular, since not only do N25 and OWN act as a way for her to put her unspoken feelings into words, but the SEKAI can do it for her - it can get all those repressed emotions out of her since the SEKAI is her in a way, and I think it's such an effective way for her to confront how she really feels and slowly understand and recover from her depression.

So in conclusion I think you're right OP and I went REALLY offtopic there sorry about that I just ended up getting into the feel of it.

This is worded really badly bc it's late and I'm tired but I hope it's still kinda understandable

If any of the immiscible discord stuff is wrong 1. i'm tired 2. i read the event through google translate so correct me if im talking bullshit

[analyzingadventure]

Well I'm only like 6 months behind everyone else playing Survive but better late than never! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

So here's a quick ramble about my thoughts on the game so far!

I've just reached the early parts of Part 4, but I encountered some vague spoilers deeper in the game by accident which kinda reframe things, so Spoilers up to Part 4 with an Asterisk*

Quick note: I am doing a blind-playthrough right now and once done I'll go back and replay the game (with a guide probably) for the other endings. You don't have to send me any confirmations or explanations on how things work, thank you.

I'm definitely enjoying the game a lot so far, it's so hard to put it down once I get going. I will complain that Part 1 especially seemed to repeat its own dialogue a lot, the characters speaking in aimless circles, which WAS quite frustrating since this is a visual novel, the dialogue IS the whole gameplay, but that issue seems to have solved itself by now and I'm glad for it

I do also find it quite funny how Survive really did just take the basic set up of Adventure, scrub some details out and change the tone of the story before calling it a day. Like that's really funny to me. I don't mind it at all, I love the File Island arc so getting what is essentially a fresh retelling of that story is super fun, especially since the tone is completely different. Grabbing the "fun adventure" and taking it entirely seriously, in kind of a realistic way (like, what would you do if you were in this situation-kinda way) is really interesting, it's a fun re-exploration of Adventure's story and I love watching it unfold.

I will say that I did find it annoying how Takuma and co showed no concern for Kaito and Miu so far. Like, yes, to be fair, they just met the two and knew each other for maybe like 15 minutes before getting isekai'd, so it's understandable they weren't super concerned, but also, they were worried about the Professor, and they knew him for even less time. And yes, of course, they're kids, they're going to want to reach out to the only adult nearby since adults = safety and that's what the kids want the most, but also. Miu is a small child out there on her own. It does bother me how nobody showed any concern for her (or Kaito), let alone seemed to remember them, until Kaito gave them a deadline to give a fuck. Hell, even when the kids heard there was a small child lost in the dangerous woods, none of them offered to go help look for her, instead insisting on going to the fucking radio tower instead. Like!! The radio tower isn't going anywhere, it'll still be there!! But Miu's life might have a timer on it!! God!!

That whole thing bothered me a lot, but in the end, it doesn't matter, it was a weird writing decision but it's not a big deal.

What is a big deal is that Agumon is the cutest, sweetest little thing I have ever seen and I would die for him.

All the Digimon are cute in fact, I love them so much.

(Although, I'm sorry, but everytime I see Dracumon I lose my shit because the way he grins he reminds me of Sans Undertale)

Also I love the evolutions they picked for all the Digimon (aside from Agumon since he has Options (I got Tyrannomon! ✌️✨ Oira-shock real)), I love how our Sweet Little Puppi Labramon evolves to metal ass Dobermon, and I was fucking hysterical losing my absolute shit over Vegiemon last night. I did not expect that and it was so fucking funny- like sure, new Digimon would have been cool, but also it's so great that they picked old Digimon to use instead of making some extremely tailored evolutions for each kid's partner. It's so fun and I love that, even when/because the evolutions are so unconventional.

Also RIP Kunemon I'm sorry I couldn't save Ryo. You poor little thing, I'm so sorry. (I'm assuming I could've saved Ryo if I had talked with him more? I mean from the get-go I saw this child Had Some Issues so I tried to talk with him every chance I got and I did, I had a pretty decent Affinity going with him by the end, but there was a part where Ryo was being just Too Douchey to Kunemon, where I told him off for it. That resulted with him being so pissed off he left and became unavailable to talk to for the rest of the Free Action section. So I'm guessing it's because of that section that Ryo died? Welp I guess I'll find out on the next playthrough)

BTW it's really funny that the Arukenimon Amongus Sus meme I did for Ghost Game could've been used for Survive too lmao

Also the Gazimon t-posing over the collapsed Professor was funnier than it had any right to be dfjghsjfdhg

The funniest thing that happened to me so far though is that I actually believed Survive wouldn't have Piemon, especially not as a potential evolution/party member. Like I knew Survive would scale back the amount of Digimon they'd use in this game (compared to like Cyber Sleuth), so I just assumed that Piemon would get cut. So early in the game when you could start recruiting Digimon, I, for a long ass time, evoided Gotsumon, since early on the cutscenes and battles alike it was just Gotsumon after Gotsumon after Gotsumon- like I was kind of sick of the guy, so I intentionally didn't try to recruit one. Can you imagine my fucking face when the other night I finally recruited a Gotsumon (after failing to get a Numemon so many times (I really wanted a Numemon!! ;_;)), looked at the evolution possibilities, and immidiately saw fucking Piemon right there, sitting amongst the options. The one Digimon I had really wanted (but didn't think I could actually get), right there, under my nose, this whole time, just behind a Digimon I was avoiding out of spite.

Anyway here's the Asterisk Part, look away if you don't want potential post Part 4 spoilers

Okay so a while back I accidentally did find out that there was a Piemon as a character in the game. I made sure to Look Away before I could learn any real context about the character or what he's like, I just became aware that there is, in fact, Piemon in Survive.

And then I found out (also by accident) that he's voiced by Chiikao Ootsuka's son, Akio Ootsuka

(Chiikao Ootsuka was the voice of OG Piemon and Apocalymon. Mind you, the last voiced Piemon character we had had between Adventure and Survive was Chiikao reprising his role in the Adventure PSP Game, so the fact that they got his son to do his father's character... That's so fucking sweet) ((Disclaimer I don't actually know if the Piemon/VoltoBautamon in next 0rder was voiced but that's besides the point))

Since I am a One Piece fan, I do know Akio's voice as he's the voice of Blackbeard. I could recognize the "zehahaha" anywhere

So when I reached the opening cutscene to Part 4 last night, I was losing my absolute marbles when we meet the mysterious, shrouded Digimon

Like at first I was like "is that a new Digimon?? A Demon Lord???" since the shroud reminded me of Demon's cloaked form

But then the fucker spoke

And I noticed the fucking card suit decorations on his cloak, and the blue fucking ribbons sticking out from underneath, and the entire shape of the figure being so conveniently shaped in general

And then as the fucker spoke more I could hear the rasp of the zehahaha peaking through and I just

I KNOW WHO YOU ARE YOU SON OF A BINCH

OH YOU JUST WAIT UNTIL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, I'M GOING TO WRECK YOUR ASS

YOU JUST WAIT UNTIL I GET TO THAT SHITTY CIRCUS TENT

Anyway those are my general thoughts on the game so far; having a great fucking time, can't wait to play more

[meimi-haneoka]

(pt 1) Oh my goodness there's so many things to love about this chapter. You finally got your long awaited colour spread! I do agree that it looks more "regular" than some of the others they have done, but I feel that because there isn't an extravagant background to catch your attention, your eyes are drawn to the peaceful look Kaito has and the look of excitement Akiho has. Which totally made me go !!!! when I saw it.

Yaaaaaayyy helloooo!! Yess I got (FINALLY!!!) my long (LOOOONG, SEVENTY NINE CHAPTERS GODDAMMIT) awaited color page solely dedicated to Kaito and Akiho!! 🥹 You're right, I think the "normalcy" of the color page might even be perceived as "special" because these two have had everything but normal lives, till now. And your hope is my same hope too, of course ❤️ OOOH yes, there's so much that needs to be said about Sakura asking permission. Not only it's a very Sakura move, because she's a polite and kind girl, but also because the act worked as some kind of "indirect lesson" for Kaito. As we well know, Kaito brought forward his plan with the best of intentions, but forgot one crucial detail: asking the person concerned consent or at least what she thought about it (let alone, all the other parties involved). Sure, sure, he didn't want to reveal the whole thing to Akiho, the less she knew about the abuse she underwent, the higher the chances she would've been able to live a normal life. But when Akiho found out, it still destroyed her. And she didn't even remember about him and what they experienced together, yet! If she did, things would've been 10x worse (hence why I think even after Sakura gave her memories back, she'll probably keep being quite shaken by this experience for quite some time). But Kaito didn't pause to consider Akiho's input in this because he suffers from the same disease Syaoran suffers from: "I have to bear the burden of this all alone, and make her happy only with my efforts". Syaoran learned the lesson before things could get worse, because he was stopped by someone in their circle of friends (Yue). Kaito didn't have that, and he went down the slippery slope. Now Sakura, with this gesture of asking consent multiple times, is giving him an example of how to treat these matters right. I have too much empathy for Kaito and for his desperate situation for me to be able to "scold him" for what he's done, but still, Sakura setting an example for him was great to witness, for the development of both characters!

And yes, Touya's words in chapter 58 resonated loud and clear the moment Sakura announced, crying while holding a shocked Akiho, that she would've brought back what they never should've lost! In the middle of this mess, where truth and falsification were mixed up, blurring the lines, her brother's words stayed in her heart and guided her towards what was important to do at the moment: get back the person they lost in all of this!!! It was such an emotional journey for me to witness, and I really loved everyone's role in it. Kaito and Akiho might be my "spotlight" in this later part of the arc, but Sakura still got all my love for how she always chose, unwavering, to put her empathy first and save her important people in need. And Akiho wasn't second to none, because even without magic, she made a very difficult decision (and I'm absolutely SURE that the reason why CLAMP made Kaito succeed in his plan, therefore showing us how Akiho was loved by everyone in the Kinomoto family, was precisely to make her decision in this finale even more DIFFICULT, but at the same time showing just how MUCH Kaito means to her!).

Thank you so much for reading my analysis and for sending your asks, very appreciated 😊❤️

[borreloadsavagedragon]

Of course I have to ask for Kaito, but also, the Arclights :3c

Oh boy........ I did mr Tenjo already, so it's time for the drama club family

First impression: Honestly... I was a little bit terrified! I knew how beloved all of them were and I was waiting for one of them to ruin my life lowkey, so definitely a little terrified

Impression now III: My favorite Arclight, I want to protect him and also let him throw swords at my enemies for the rest of my life and his, I love that's he's the definition "call an ambulance! but not for me!!!!" IV: I hope Thomas IV Arclight is very pissed that Kaito's my favorite Zexal character; surprisingly, even tho he's my kind of crazy, I'm not rly a huge fan of him in canon, but more the idea of him? If that makes sense, like I like him but he ranks surprisingly low compared to most of the cast because I wasn't too big on how his character was handled, sweats nervously V: I love you and I think you’re very a interesting character, but I really want to pull hard on your long beautiful hair sometimes because you have no right, please wear your hair in a braid again though, that was a LOOK Tron: A Yugioh Dad tm, no real feelings one way or another, but I'm glad he came around for his boys, compared to other token parents in this franchise he ranks surprisingly high! I imagine he destroys all three of them in Mario Kart

Favorite moment III: Throwing a whole ass sword at Mr Heartland omfg, WHY DID IT MISS!!!! WE COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED!!!!!!!!! He also was never leaving Yuma's side after Astral sacrificed himself and that's gjdsklagjklgjdsklga IV: I’m torn between his duel with Nasch because he’s just such a freak how he talks sometimes, and I also love how he just… goes all out against a pair of middle schoolers, like there was never a hinge on him to begin with💀 I also love that Thomas is introduced as this celebrity, champion duelist but NEVER wins against a named character that isn't one of Yuma's background friends or in a tag with someone else gjdaskljgdklsaj, accidental cringe king V: I really like the arctic moments, specifically when he makes this face

Tron: Being an absolute menace at the WDC second round party fjdhdhdh, you can just tell he’s the father of the other three

Idea for a story: I have no idea honestly fjehdjje, they’re usually just recurring characters or background in the drafts I have But I do love writing my friends’ oc and canon pairs so they’ll usually get the focus in those, which I gotta finish the Vkou one soon 👁👁👁👁

Unpopular opinion: SWEATS I've never been shy about this fact, but I am not a huge fan of how quickly some of the Arclights' conflicts with the main cast get resolved and that really impacts how I view the Arclights' relationships with the cast gdjsaklg Like it's yugioh and cards/character popularity will always do all of the talking, there's no way you watch yugioh for great character and story writing, but like Rio could have fucking died from her duel with Thomas lmao It makes for some BANGING fanon content and like we get all of the context for why everything happens and for Thomas' motivation and guilt in general, but... if you put someone's sister into a coma in intensive care, I feel like canon should probably do a little bit more than some bickering and dueling with her brother, you know-

Favorite relationship: I do love their family dynamic and how they’re trying to patch it back up, it’s very touching and Michael’s original anguish and resentment towards Yuma’s family is very touching 🥹 III - Michael was in love with Yuma even though he knew it was unrequited, send TWEET IV - What do you mean Momoya isn't canon, she's canon to ME; I'm disgustingly biased but I love how much IV and Kaito just hate each other lmfao Also love what could have been his turbulent friendship with Ryouga, you know they subtweet each other on the daily V - Kousei ofc, what do you mean he's also not canon; I always affectionately refer to Kaito and Chris as divorced I REALLY wish we saw them go through more of the hurdles to get back to ~before~, we only saw a little in the arctic but you know these two are bickering Tron - I need a post canon one shot of how him and Faker work together, I want to be a fly on the wall of the first day

Favorite headcanon: They ALWAYS host dinner parties for the squad, Thomas and Tron need to show off how much better their estate is than the Kamishiro's so they always offer to host

Whumptober 2024 Day 14 - "cause i want you to know what it feels like to be haunted" - mizuki

[ao3 series link]

(not proud of this but like. MIZUKIIIIIIII MY LOVEEEEEE) (also haphazardly used she/they prns for em)

They’re lucky that the Empty Sekai is endless, Mizuki thinks, and she’s partially right. It’s an endless walk for her now. And a perfect place for her to hide away from.. everything. They stalk their way through the terrain, which although it is a flat plane, it still has.. differences. The only issue is that there is a chance for the Sekai’s Vocaloids to.. be a bother.

They knew most of them would, but KAITO and MEIKO had recently become a.. part of this entire situation, and they were.. Terrified, to say the least. They were /outted/ to one of their best friends, and they had no clue how Ena reacted because.. She was scared and didn’t let her even.. respond.

Realistically, she’s well aware that doing.. this isn’t a good idea. That hiding away from their issues isn’t the right idea. After all, she went through this before with Rui, back when all they had were each other and the rooftop. A rooftop that she doubts will ever be.. Her place anymore.

Fuck. Right. Rui. They’re going to seriously concern him. But she can’t do a thing now. They’re in too deep. Her phone was in the ‘main area’ of the Sekai, and there’s no going back without risking being seen by the others. And that’s not what she wants to do right now.

Not with this.. whole mess that’s been caused by.. stupid classmates that she’d been trying to ignore for years now. With an exhale, they sit down. Their legs were starting to hurt from this.. constant walking. This wasn’t the first time they’d done.. something like this, and they hope Rui would cover for them.. Again.

Running was always easier than anything else. And she was used to it. Leaning against one of the many structures in the Sekai, she closes her eyes and sighs, tucking their knees to their chest. This would worry their sister and mother, yes, because they were getting better. ... Once upon a time, they were, at least.

They were once scared to tell her friends everything, and now she’s been.. forced to play her hand, to toss down the cards they kept close to her chest, with a death grip that dented the cards and made them misshaped to never fit into the deck again.

She wipes her tears, biting back the sobs that threaten to bubble out of her throat. She can’t be loud, can’t make a sound outside of her footsteps because they don’t want their position to be found. Not until they’re ready to face the truth that is the fact that the members of n25 probably know of.. their situation.

After all, she’s intruding now, is she not..? They’re not a real girl, not in the eyes of the world, so why do they even bother with.. this.. facade. This fake identity that.. may bring them happiness.. But it’s what’s wrong with them. They’re all right about their.. wrongness.

Fuck. No. She can’t spiral about that. Not right now. That’s not the issue. Even if they think she’s wrong for.. all of this, she’s just.. Going to need to work with this after it all ends. If n25 kick her out, that’s fine. It’ll all be fine.

She can leave. She’s done it before, right? Left people behind when she became herself.

...

They need Rui and their sister right now. Someone who knows and supports her wholeheartedly. But they’re all alone right now and can’t even fucking leave because.. this was their choice.

Shaking their head, they close their eyes.

Sleep comes quickly and it’s well accepted. Sleeping this off.. this need for something is.. for the best. Especially with the.. unfortunate way that this seems to be turning out for them.

When they wake, they find that they aren’t alone. Miku’s sat beside her and she’s silent, something that Mizuki welcomes with silence of her own. They might tell Miku something, someday, but right now.. All she needs a presence beside them. A listening voice may be.. welcomed later, in someone else.

She’s aware that Miku won’t tell anyone, but speaking to the air here could mean someone else might hear, something that a phone call alone in their bathroom to Rui or her sister guarantees won’t happen. So she stays in this silent vigil alongside the vocaloid.

They rest her head on Miku’s shoulder, and closes her eyes again, exhaling softly. She’s feeling better now, if only a bit, and having someone.. even if it’s Hatsuna Miku, with them, is enough for now.

Chapter Twelve

Misconceptions Cleared

Monday came faster than you hoped it would. This past weekend had been the most fun you’ve had since coming to this world, but now it was time to get back to the plot because, despite how normal he seemed to act, Akui Minato was still an unpredictable factor who you knew for a fact was capable of killing for the smallest of reasons. This week Suzuki Kaito will fall in love with Yuki, and you need to come up with a way to stop that from happening.

You didn’t plan on waking up early that morning, Makino was already saved so there was really no reason to get up extra early just to make it to class early enough to watch her. Your mother had different plans though.

“Y/n, wake up, your father’s taking you to school today,” your mother said from her place at your door.

Listlessly, you sat up in bed. “Taking me to school? But doesn��t he have work…?” you questioned through a yawn, wiping away the sleepiness from your eyes.

“Oh he still has work, that’s why you need to hurry and get ready so that you two can leave on time.”

“Leave on time…?” you mumbled, brain still trying to wake up. “What time is it anyways?” You crane your neck to catch a glimpse of your alarm clock. “Seven-twenty!? Mama!” In an instant, all tiredness left your body as you snapped your head back to face your mom. “It’s so early, why does Dad need to take me anyways?”

Already expecting this reaction, your mother already took the liberty to start walking away, leading to you having to chase after her as she said, “I don’t trust the management of that school of yours, and if it wasn’t the only school close enough that took your exam scores then I would have transferred you already. So for the time being, your father will be taking you to school. Besides,” we were already down stairs and in the dining room, “walking around too much isn’t good for you.”

“But I was walking around just fine Saturday.”

“Yes, but by the time you got back home you looked and acted completely exhausted. Your doctor wanted you to take things easily for a while, you’re lucky I even let you leave at all. Now then,” she said, pulling out a chair, “hurry and eat so that you can get ready for school.”

‘I just got played, didn’t I?’

After begrudgingly finishing off your breakfast, you dragged your feet to your room so that you could get dressed. Along the way, you figured that you should probably text Yuki that you won’t be able to walk with them for the foreseeable future. You already tried asking if your father could pick up the two along the way, but you were immediately shot down with the excuse that he barely had enough time to drop you off, so picking up your classmates was out of the question.

‘Let me walk to school then if it’s such a hassle…’ you thought with a pout having just finished putting on the uniform’s red bow. Now that you actually put the entire uniform on, it finally set in that you would be going back to school after being in that whole fiasco last week. "Great, I’m going to get clombered again with all those nosy student’s questions.”

You shot a quick text to Yuki and briefly explained the situation. If this was still in the game's plot then Yuki would be wide awake right now from the excitement and resolve of her new goal to find the murderer, but no murder happened, so you can assume she is still peacefully sleeping right now. She will surely be late again.

‘That’s how it should be,’ you thought bitterly to yourself. ‘If it wasn’t for Akui’s selfish actions the lives of these innocent people wouldn’t have to change so drastically. I will make sure that no harm will come to anybody here, so that the only thing people like Yuki will have to worry about is oversleeping and being late to class’

The drive to school was probably the shortest drive you have ever been on. What was originally about a ten minute walk turned into less than a three minute drive. You were so early that the person in charge of opening the school's gate was just barely opening it, and it wasn’t even eight yet. On the bright side it gave you loads of time before hoards of students started bombarding you with questions and concerns.

You waved goodbye to your father, wondering what you’re going to do for the next forty minutes, when a sleek-black car pulled up. You were about to question who else could be here this early in the morning when it struck you. There is only one person you could think of who was willing to be this early to school. Fukumoto Akihiko.

Just as you predicted, it was indeed Akihiko who stepped out of the fancy, and no doubt expensive, car. He said a few words to his chauffeur before closing the door and straightening his back, locking eyes with you in that moment. His eyes widened for only a fraction of a second before he went back to his composed persona. “Hello, L/n-san, you’re quiet early today, even under normal circumstances. Is there an important occasion?”

“No, nothing like that. It’s just my Mom doesn't trust the school anymore, or something like that, so she had my Dad drop me off before work,” you replied. “He goes to work early which means I need to be at school early.”

“I see…” Akihiko looked like he wanted to say something else but was hesitant, so you decided to wait for him to continue, which he did by adding a quick, “How are you feeling?” His face showed that of concern mixed with what you could only assume was regret. Clearly, he felt that he was in some way responsible for what happened to you, which you could understand especially after what he told you last week.

“I’m doing much better now, thanks for asking, but some things are gonna need more time to fully heal,” you said in response, referring not only to your cast bound hand but also your mental health. What Makino did to you was still something that you were trying to get over, coupled with the ever looming threat of Akui, there was an unshakable feeling of being overwhelmed that you did your best to bury.

Despite the polite smile that you wore on your face, the look in your eyes clearly told Akihiko that you were somewhere else entirely, at least mentally you were. He felt like there was something he could say or do to comfort and help you, but at the same time there was a distance between the two of you that kept him from reaching out. You are just classmates after all, at least for now.

Realizing that you were spacing out, you quickly shook your head to rid yourself of any negative thoughts. “Anyways, I’m probably going to walk around for a bit, enjoy the peace before the interrogation.”

“Interrogation?” Akihiko questioned with the slightest tilt of his head and quirk of his brow.

“Oh, sorry, it’s nothing. That’s just what I have taken to calling the bomb rush of questions that our classmates have for me every time I come back from an injury I sustained,” you sheepishly admitted, shifting your weight slightly between each foot and avoiding eye contact.

Akihiko seemed to grimace slightly at the thought of those students, rolling his eyes as he said, “Yes, now I understand what you mean. They clearly don’t have any respect for the feelings of others and lack any basic etiquette. Not only are they a disturbance but are clearly making you uncomfortable as well.” It seems that this particular group of gossiping students really got on Akihiko’s nerves. With an irritated huff, he pushed up his glasses and said, “I have some things I need to handle before going back to class, so I hope you enjoy your walk, and I’ll see you in class then.” He gave a curt bow, which you reciprocated, before walking away.

Despite how hurried and irritated he seemed as he left, you knew that he didn’t mean any offense by it. Bad manners was something he couldn’t stand, and the students that tended to bombard you clearly demonstrated those bad manners, so in a way you could understand his irritability. ‘Still though,’ you begin to think to yourself, ‘he needs to learn how to handle his emotions better if he plans on taking over his father’s company. Even if I wasn’t offended by his attitude near the end, someone else easily could.’ You gently chided him in your head. ‘Too bad we aren’t close enough for me to tell him that myself.’

Now that you were alone again, you decided that it was time to do what you originally planned with all this extra free time that you had; you were going to explore the school using the layout that Akihiko provided for you last week. You still had trouble remembering where everything was, probably due to the fact that you have only been in school for one whole day since coming here. There was never any time for you to properly utilize the layout sheet like you originally wanted, so you figured that you might as well make good use of this free time that you found yourself with.

The school itself was a pretty decent size, with three floors and structured in a popular square way. Understanding how the hallways worked was pretty simple as most year groups were either down the same hall or on the same floor. There were, of course, a few exceptions like the Home Economics classroom, the science labs, and a few other rooms that weren’t grade specific. Some of the more popular clubs also had rooms to themselves. You also were able to figure out where the teacher’s lounge was, which would definitely be helpful if you ever need to find them.

As you continued to walk around you were always mindful of the times so that you wouldn’t be late, but you also didn’t want to arrive too early because if you did then you would surely be surrounded by that mob again. Eventually, you started to feel a bit peckish from all the walking and figured that it wouldn’t hurt to buy a simple drink from the vending machines that you came across that rested beneath an underpass.

You heard about how big on vending machines Japan was but you never expected for them to be this diverse. The wide variety of drink options ranging from different teas, juices, and milk options; you didn’t know what to pick. Many of which were brands that you never heard of, and you didn’t want to waste your money on something that you turned out to not like.

“Maybe milk would be the safest option…” you ponder quietly to yourself. “But then again juice would be tastier…”

“Having trouble there?”

“ACk!” A hand flew up to your mouth to try and cover for the loud, high pitched sound that left your mouth. Your hair tickled your cheek with how quickly you turned to face the boy who scared you, who actually turned out to be Kaneko Fuyuhiko.

“My bad, my bad. I didn’t mean to startle you like that,” he said with a good natured chuckle.

“Kaneko-kun? What brings you here?” you asked with a hand placed over your chest to calm your heart.

“I happened to see you standing around and figured it was a good time to talk to you, I mean, without your guard dog around you, that is.”

“Guard dog? What do you-oh! Are you talking about Kobayashi-chan?” you asked in a breathy tone, clearly trying to suppress a laugh.

It seemed Fuyuhiko also found the notion humorous, as he also had to suppress a chuckle of his own when he spoke. “Yeah, sorry if that came out as rude, but you have to admit the nickname suits her.”

“It’s no worries, but it’s probably a good idea to not call her that to her face.”

“You’re probably right, anyways, what are you doing?” Fuyukiho asked, side-eyeing the vending machines you stood next to. “Picking out a drink?” Tentatively, you began to rub the nape of your neck as you said, “Yeah, I’m just a bit indecisive about what I want. There are so many choices, and I feel like I want to try something different, but I also don’t want to waste my money on a drink I won’t like.” You had brought a hand up to your chin now, staring very thoughtfully at the vending machines.

Fuykiho found your seriousness to be both amusing and endearing and couldn’t help but chuckle at your expression. “Here,” he started, “why don’t I pick out a drink for you to try, I’ll pay for it, so that way you don’t have to feel like you wasted any money if you turn out to not like it.”

“Oh, no, I couldn’t. You really shouldn’t have to--” you tried to protest but he was already inserting the correct amount of money and clicked a button before you could even finish.

“Now it’s paid for, and here,” he held out the drink, “this is for you.” He wore such a proud smile that you didn’t have the heart to reject his offer, so you took the drink. Turning it around in your hand, you discover that it was a strawberry milk tea that he selected. The bottle was cool to the touch. “Go ahead, try it,” Fuyuhiko said with a nod of his head.

You side-eyed him as you hesitantly cracked the top of the bottle before taking a tentative sip of the drink. The first thing you noticed was how sweet the drink actually was. The strawberry flavor was subtle but still present as the drink had an overall refreshing taste to it without the expected artificial taste that strawberry flavored things tended to have. ‘This isn’t half bad.’

“So,” Fuyuhiko drawled expectantly, “how is it?”

You hummed in thought, pretending to have to think about it even though you already knew that you liked the drink. “I’d say it’s pretty decent.”

“Really? Just decent?”

“Yup, just decent.”

“Alright then, Miss Just Decent, class will be starting soon, so do you want to walk together?”

Slightly surprised with the sudden offer, you think about it for a moment before agreeing. “Sure, as long as we take the longer route.”

“Oh, does someone want to spend more time with me?” Fuyuhiko cheekily asked with a slightly flirty undertone. “Why, L/n-chan, I’m flattered.”

You could feel the heat rising up through your neck after realizing how you just sounded. “I-I don’t mean it like that! I just didn’t want to get to class too early because of how many people usually swarm me.” With each passing second of your rambling you could feel your face grow hotter and hotter. “Not that walking with you is such a bad thing, of course. You’ve been very nice to me so far, and I don’t mean to offend you or anything. You know what? Imma stop talking now…” You finished off, picking up your pace with short and quick steps.

“Wait, hold up,” he said with a chuckle, picking up his own pace to catch up with you. “I was wondering where that shy girl I first met was.”

“Hm? What do you mean?” you asked, having calmed down after noting he was probably just teasing you.

“Well, when we first, officially, met you seemed more shy and quiet than what you have been acting like. I was beginning to wonder if I said something to offend you, but I’m glad to see that’s not the case,” he concluded with a bold grin.

“Oh, that,” you began. “Well, I wouldn’t exactly call myself shy, socially awkward is probably a better word. Besides, you kind of caught me off guard back then, and I wasn’t expecting you to be so close--” the words got caught in your throat as you turned to face Fuyuhiko only to realize that his face was only inches apart from yours, so close that you could feel his warm breath lightly fan your face. “Eek!” you yelped and jumped back slightly. You just got your face to cool down, but now it felt like it was on fire.

“Pfft--hahaha!” Finding humor in your very flustered form, Fuyuhiko couldn’t help but double over in laughter. Meanwhile, you were left gaping like a fish, and a quick glance at your expression caused another wave of laughter to emit from the flirty blond. “Sorry, sorry. It was too good an opportunity to pass up,” he humorously stated, wiping a few tears from his eyes. “Man, you’re a real character, you know that, L/n-chan?”

Having once again calmed down, you couldn't help but to playfully scoff at him. “Yeah, well then you’re a real piece of work, Kaneko-kun.” 

He only laughed again at your response.

Talking to him felt a lot easier now that you don’t feel so self conscious about being watched by all of your classmates. It wasn’t like anything you had expected, but it was no wonder seeing how Yuki was always blowing him off during the beginning of their relationship. While she at first tried to be polite with turning him down, him constantly trying to put the moves on her only fueled her anger. Of course she later comes to understand him and he is able to understand her, but for a while it was hard to picture them getting along, which made it hard for you to picture getting along with him. Needless to say, you were glad to be wrong.

‘Fuyuhiko is surprisingly easy to talk to, but I still need to figure out how to divert his interest away from Yuki.’

“So how are you feeling?” Fuyuhiko quietly asked after calming down from his laughing fit.

Already knowing what he meant, you took a second to collect yourself and to figure out what you wanted to say. “I guess I’m feeling better now. I mean, it no longer hurts if that’s what you're asking,” you finally say with some hesitance.

“That’s good. I don’t know many of the details but I heard it was bad,” he let out a nervous chuckle but you could tell there was no humor behind it this time. He wouldn’t say it out loud, but when he got close to your face he could tell that you were wearing more product than before, proof that, while you may say you’re fine, Makino’s assault was still affecting your life.

From there the two of you dropped the topic of your attack, and instead chose to focus on more light hearted conversation.

It didn’t take too long before it was close to the time that class usually started, and by then you and Fuyuhiko were already by your classroom doors. Despite that fact, you felt that you were a few too many minutes early, even after changing your shoes, so you still felt that there was a risk of being swarmed by your fellow classmates, but you also figured that there was no point in walking around for another five minutes when you were already here. You waved bye to Fuyuhiko and had to shoo him away when he insisted on sticking around for a few minutes to talk in class, but you knew that it wouldn’t be a good idea. If you did enter class with the Kaneko Fuyuhiko then you were sure that you would get questioned by both your classmates and Yuki.

After he had left you took in a deep breath and braced yourself slightly when you opened the door, completely expecting to be mobbed. But the crowd never came and neither did the onslaught of questions. While your classmates did look up from their seats, and clearly looked like they wanted to go up to you, they remained seated and silent, each sharing a look of hesitance amongst themselves.

Confused but not displeased, you made your way to your seat. During your rather short walk, you casted a quick glance around the room, noting the behaviors of the classmates who you knew best. Yuki, whose face held an excited look when you two locked eyes, and Akihiko, who had his chin rested in the palm of his hand as he stared off to the side.

You half expected for your classmates to go back to how they normally are at some point as you went through your classes, but they all remained distant despite the obvious look of desperation in their eyes, desperate for answers from you. It wasn’t until lunch time rolled around that you got an answer as to why.

“Fukumoto-san is really weird sometimes, but I can sort of see how our classmates can respect him,” Yuki suddenly said after setting her bento down on her lap.

Pausing mid bite, you bring down your chopsticks and ask, “Really? What made you change your mind?”

“Oh, I guess you don’t know.”

This piqued your curiosity even more.

“It was Fukumoto-san who got all our classmates to stop bothering you. You should have seen it, that boy can be real scary when he wants to.”

You didn’t know what to make of this new information. In a way you were touched, but this was something that you never expected from him. Though you shouldn't be surprised, there was a reason why he was voted class president, and eventually student body president, after all.

‘As a video game character he annoyed me. But as a real person, he isn’t half bad.’ You weren’t sure why, but the thought of Akihiko going out of his way to make you comfortable made you happy.

When lunch was over, Yuki and yourself started heading in the direction of the Home Economics class, where you would finally be able to experience your Home Econ class after almost a week of missing it due to all sorts of circumstances. But unfortunately you would have to bear witness to Yuki and Suzuki becoming partners and there was nothing you could do to stop it. Your life would have been a thousand times easier if you could, but nothing ever seems to come easy to you.

In other news, you would also be seeing your lab partner again. Like you, she was a background character who held no importance to the plot of the story, but unlike her you have no choice but to insert yourself into the plot to save everyone's skins. Because she held little importance you couldn’t remember her name, but you remember her to be rather plain looking. Rude as that may sound, it was just hard to compare anyone to the main characters who were specifically designed to be eye-catching and gorgeous.

As the two of you neared the classroom, an anxious knot twisted in your stomach at the notion of what is to come. It wasn’t like you were about to enter some dangerous situation, but the idea of Suzuki meeting Yuki and falling in love made you sick. Or rather, the notion of that love being the reason for his death made you sick. You still needed to come up with a plan to prevent that from happening, but how?

Entering the classroom, your eyes immediately darting over to the direction of Suzuki for a brief moment as a lump formed in your throat. Before you could break down crying for seemingly no reason, you quickly made your way over to your station where your seatmate stood waiting. Now that you could see her in person, after all this time, you could finally put a clear face to her, but you have yet to remember her name. 'It was a long the lines of Nano E something.'

As you approach, the plain looking girl with brown, almost black, hair and matching eyes stared up at you with a soft, almost sympathetic, look. "I'm glad to see you're back, partner. How are you feeling?"

[xoteajays]

Yes! I have been rewatching Vincenzo again. A Korean mafia show, so that could been another series for you to watch if you enjoy more of a crime drama. It's an internationally popular series around the world.

And Vincenzo Cassano's an ideal man for me. Has beauty, brains and brawn. He's handsome, wealthy, multilingual.. Not afraid to kill a man. And he's the true Don of the mafia. So the type of man I need my life.

I have a type.

And I'm so annoyed there's no stories written about him either. If this is a popular series, then there should be stories written for the man.

~

That is why I was debating on whether or not to have more romantic ships between the canon and original characters in my story, but not too many romantic ships either. If and when I do to write this story.

Since there aren't that many, well, any romantic couples in High&Low besides Kizzy and Kaito. But everyone has their own crushes though.

~

That would depend for me. I can be easily entertained that there have been times where I can enjoy, both adaptions - like how the show and book could be. But sometimes, I'm also critical about it. So it actually depends on the series. Since I can be overly critical of certain series.

~

That's your decision on what experiences you'd want your characters to go through. I would be curious aither outcome. Because there is so many different outcomes that can happen for the characters, story or anyone and anything else involved too. You decide what can happen.

So they're close siblings, but not close in the same way as Smoky and Lara though. Smoky's a huge presence in the Rude Boys family.

I think that's why I wanted to write the timeline for my story before all the movies.. Because I wanted to have some interactions with Smoky and my characters. Even if those scenes might be brief. I don't know.

~

Like after the second season since Hyuga's already released from the prison, but before the movies when the major plot takes place for this whole story. That's why I was deciding around that timeline for mine.

~

I'm a lot more idealistic about the relationships I want, how I think the relationships should be. So I might be slightly unrealistic in that way... Which is why I save those types of relationship for writing stories that could have those couples. Since those relationships are unrealistic for most people. But that might also be based on my own experiences.

But yeah. You'd think that most people would have common sense to not hurt someone they care about, regardless of the reasons. But no.. They end up being horrible people. Just like most people in the world who say and do things like this all the time. Ignore me. I hate humans.

~

You're only five years younger than me.

True. She's trying to right her wrongs. But you would think someone's common sense would make them realize not to do things like this but they still end up doing this anyway. This is why I lose faith in humans.. Because they end up saying or doing things like this. I hate humans.

ah vincenzo! ive watched a few episodes but haven’t gotten back around to it yet. i hear it’s pretty good, but it was a bit of a slow start for me.

i did think the scene of him holding that guy out the window was cool tho.

~

both hinami and ryuko’s stories are kinda balanced between romance and found family stuff. bit more of a lean towards romance, but that’s because it’s what i enjoy writing.

~

i definitely recommend the junji ito books and then the anime only if you’re looking for an easy, not-too-serious watch. there’s mixed reviews for the recent netflix series. i thought it was an easy watch, but it didn’t really have the same unsettling, scary factor that the manga has.

~

smokey really is like a big brother to all of nameless. hinami probably visits his grave a lot after he dies, just to keep it well-tended and maybe to talk to him. though probably a lot of other nameless city citizens that also knew him would as well. they definitely try to keep his spirit alive around nameless. i imagine it’s a bit of a struggle for takeshi, trying to live up to smokey.

~

i think that hinami would’ve been with rude since the beginning, so idk where exactly i’d start her story. the fic i’m writing for her now takes place across a few weeks between the end of the first movie and the start of the second. ryuko’s intro fic was taking place around the same time actually, though more towards the start of end of sky.

they’re having very different situations.

~

we need to change the term ‘common sense’ because clearly it isn’t that common. apparently what’s ‘common’ is the dumb shit people keep doing. like cheating and drunk driving.

Polyamarous Vivid BAD SQUAD headcanons because I can:

- An is definitely the most open in the relationship, all the others are more chill but An? She’s gonna hype them up with embarassing pet names like “sweetie, sugar pie, sunshine, etc” and be so outwardly open about it and probably the first to slip out that their dating to one of her classmates or something.

- Kohane is first to confess! Which seems suprising (I have just been reading this fanfic and honestly it suits her so much and the fanfic is called ‘one step at a time (towards a happy ending)’ on ao3, super cute highly reccommend!) She confessed to one person at a time and then bring them all together and splutter all their feelings at each other which is indeed chaotic.

- Touya is definitely like the therapist friend of the group in a way. When one needs comfort, he’ll always be there to hit you up. He’ll pat you in the back, hugs them and kisses their forehead (he’s the tallest after all)

- Akito was the one in most denial, obiviously. It took him a while to understand these feelings after all he always thought romance as a distraction in his life so when he found out that he not only have one but THREE crushes, he was doomed.

- Meiko was the first one to found out because like she knows everything like the mom person she is.

- Ken sooner or later found out because An told him (the others agreed or else it will probably create more mess if they didn’t) but he did had his suspicions (because Akito and An is just so bad in hiding it, An is too open and Akito at some point just flushes so hard, its a sight to see)

- Miku was like the third person to notice after Kohane saying Akito and Touya’s first names in front of her when she came into the cafe.

- “Akito-kun and Touya-ku-“ *door opens* “Ah, a-am I interrupting something?” *the three blushes and An laughing the backgroud*

- Len and Rin were some of the last ones to notice while Kaito and Luka was told by Meiko. Len and Rin just thought its a friendly thing going around until they heard Luka, Kaito and Meiko talk about the squad dating together, both of them were like “THEIR DATING???”

- Not everyone in school knows about it because they decided to keep it low there but you know sometimes it slips.

- Tsukasa knew because Touya came in for advice to him since he was dating Rui.

- Rui is god, he knows everything.

- Mizuki helped out for An and when they found out they were dating, Mizuki is the first one to congratulate them.

- As for Kohane, Minori and Shiho helped her out and Minori was the one who suggested her to confess!

- Ena knew because her bro just asked her how do you delete these feelings and she was like you can’t. (based from experience *cough* Mizuki *cough*)

- “Well what the hell are you gonna do?” “Tell me how to delete these feelings.” “No.”

- An flirts the most in the relationship (and she flirts and teases Akito and Kohane the most cause Touya is never affected by her flirts except sometimes) but if one flirts back (mainly Akito because well he’s Akito and revenge) she’ll turn to a tomato ESPICIALLY if the one flirting back is the two quiet ones of the group. (Mainly Touya because he’s just that good at flirting back that nearly made everyone faint)

- Everyone has a soft side for Kohane espicially when her hair is down because they think she’s so cute with her hair down. (And their right)

- Everyone has pictures of everyone in their phones whether they admit it or not.

- Kohane has so much pictures of the three in her camera, its uncanny.

- She also have a picture of them together in a polaroid on her phone case.

- Touya has the whole squad as his backgroud wallpaper on his phone.

- While An has a photo of them together in her room.

- Akito doesn’t really show their photos together but he secretly has a whole album of it in his laptop (when he takes them with his phone and Kohane or An sending pics of them together in the group chat) and if anyone finds out, he will never be seen again for a while.

- Matching couple things together! Like AnHane’s matching necklaces, AkiTouya’s matching phone cases, AkiKoha’s matching bracelets, TouyaAn’s matching keychains, TouKoha’s matching bottle drinks and AkiAn’s matching earrings, they all have matching rings together (kinda like their married hehe) and they wear it often.

- Kohane made everyone phone charms! And she’s good at it too.

- They wear it on their phone cases. It took a while for Akito because he was embarrassed but he did it anyways and now he’s used to it or even more so proud of it as he will tell others that Kohane made it while mostly An does the bragging.

- Touya has one with a dark blue charms with a cute little book charm in it while Akito has one with orange charms and a ginger cat because Akito reminds her of a cat while An’s charm has light blue charms with a yellow star pendant! Kohane herself has a charm with pink charms and a hamster.

- They have spotify playlists for each other and share a song that they think the others might like.

- AnHane cooks together often while AkiTouya are like their food testers.

- Cinema dates happen once in a while when one of them really wants to watch something. Like Avengers or something.

- They go shopping together a lot whether to buy clothes for the next show or for fun. Its just their little date together.

- Cafes and cafes and cafes— because Akito and his sweet tooth and seeing him happy makes everyone else in the group happy so they go there often.

- Cuddles are a thing here in the Crase Cafe so get used to it when you see TouyaAn in the couch together.

- Bets are common for AkiAn when they go on dates, they do it almost all the time. One time they had a bet on who can score the most in an arcade basketball game and Akito lost by one point so he had to eat a whole dish of carrots. Most of the time the two enjoy ice skating dates together. Both are so fluid in their movements but they know its dangerous to race so they do matches like who can spin the longest and etc. This time Akito won and An had to drench herself in cold water. Their date themes are so random, its always a suprise for the other but ice skating dates are the most common.

- TouKoha have study dates together like a lot. They would talk about school subjects or not even a school subject just something they like and almost everything else that comes to their minds, they will share their thoughts together. While Kohane is a lover for biology, Touya is a sucker for mathematics. If AkiAn join their study dates, you better be ready to know that two are long gone as the their partners try to explain it to them. And if the two end up sleeping, Touya and Kohane would talk in whispers about other topics to not wake the other two.

- AkiTouya arcade dates! Touya wins too much prizes that Akito has to carry three bags full of toys at one time while Touya had a huge teddy bear with him. They give the plushies to those who knows would like them like their girlfriends, Ena so she can take pics with it and Saki, she likes soft things to hug on, Touya knew this when they were growing up together. Though Touya and Akito keeps one for themselves, Touya has a blue dino plushy while Akito has an orange dragon plushy. While Kohane has the most plushies while An has at least three. Racing arcade games are always Akito’s favorite so he always ask Touya to match with him and obviously he wins. Touya just lets him win and he, himself isn’t used to games like these, he’s better in crane games.

- AnHane’s dates are suprisingly simple! They just go to one of their houses and do girly things together like make up, hair styling and etc. They also watch so much animes or other shows in netflix together and also play around with Kohane’s pet snake if their date is in her house and sometimes they just do cook offs for fun but Kohane always struggles making some dishes so An helps her out. Sometimes they would ask the guys if they wanna join, Touya joins more than Akito does because well I mean—

- AkiKoha’s dates are just them going to different shops, seeing the aesthetic, buying some little accessories and gifts for their partners and for each other and everything also testing different foods. Its very subtle and calming. Also walks in the park because its just calming and they enjoy each other’s presence and comfortable silence. Sometimes when Kohane brings out her camera (Akito always wonders why but he figured its for the scenary in the parks well he isn’t wrong but its mainly him) when they go on dates in the park, she secretly takes a picture of Akito under the sun, eating his pancakes and many more.

- TouyaAn’s dates are either very high class or like the most chaotic thing, depending who’s planning. Either they go to a fancy restaurant or somehow ended up in the parking lot in mcdonalds. Though neither of them mind where their going because they just like being around each other and lastly stargazing is always the ending for the dates and suprisingly An loves astrology when Touya found out he was suprised that An was into something like this. She herself always thought its cool and explains it to Touya who have very little knowledge about it and he listens to her like God is talking to him.

- They all love each other and thats all that matters. They will always support each other no matter what goes through!

Kokichi with an GN S/O more dominant/chaotic than him (Ultimate Chaos Ruler)

Warnings: NSFW themes, dark language

Before you came around, everything was sooo boring! Ok, maybe thats an over exaggeration. With his friends like Kiiboy and Miu around, he could entertain himself for the day just fine.

But it was starting to get boring, stale..he needed something to entertain himself for s long period of time or he would get restless at school.

So when one day, a new ultimate student came around, he finally had something to look forward to at school!

He would spend almost all day talking to the same people he would hang out with about the “new student in class” and how they should get ready to have their head teased clean off them.

Little did he knew what he was getting himself into, because when you actually arrived, it was him who was nearly swept off his feet. Ultimate Chaos Ruler?! Excuse me?!

He was intrigued, frustrated and attracted all at once. What? No you didn’t hear the second part.

The second after you introduced yourself, he jumped out his seat and shook your hand to say high, telling you that “Your talent is pretty cool and all, but you should know I’m the real leader around here!”

Some of his classmates rolled their eyes at that, giving you sympathetic looks that said “Sorry, he’s an asshole” but you weren’t having it.

You scoffed in his face, snatching your hand out of his and slapping him right in the face.

“You must be an absolute idiot to think that you could walk up to me and hold the Ultimate Chaos Leaders hand without asking before hand! Know your place zygote!” You huffed, strutting to your seat in the corner of the classroom.

Some people’s faces were slack jawed, including Kokichi’s, but what they didn’t know was that he was more in love with you than he had anyone else in his life right then and there.

Then, began the annoying.

“So do you have an organization too?” “Not exactly..” “Oh! So it’s a cult, like what Angie’s in?” “Who is Angie?? Ugh, stay back, you’re too close!”

People were getting so sick of you too during classes, it would rarely ever be quiet, save for Miu’s teasing.

“Ooo, the little shota’s got it down bad for Y/N! Just think about it! Two leaders fighting for dominance and—“ “SHUT UP, SLUT.”Both of you screamed.

Although she wasn’t far off from the truth, because over the months you two actually got to know each other, Kokichi just fell harder and harder for you. And you? Well, you were in denial the whole way.

“Argh, what’s wrong with me?!” You hissed to yourself. Shuichi tilted his head, smiling nervously, “What do you mean Y/N?”

“I mean Kokichi!” “What about him?..” “He’s being, arghh..him!!”

You struggled to put your words together, failing to understand why he was digging into the closest parts of your heart.

“Y/N?..” Kaito chuckled. “What…” “Have you ever thought that you, I dunno like him?”

Ooo, you were furious, like you could ever love scum like him! …Could you?

You both pondered on it for the next few days, until one day in an empty hall where you two were talking, things escalated.

“All I’m saying is, someone as puny and tiny as you could never cause more chaos that wouldn’t hurt a fly~” Kokichi snickered.

“Oh yeah?” You challenged him, “Ever heard of the time I took down a whole skating ring with a cow and a match stick?”

He cackled, “As if you could ever do something like that, they probably asked where your parents were when you showed up—“ His banter was cut off with a gasp as he was pushed down onto some poor lockers by your hands.

This position was a bit more than suggested, your kabedon almost immediately making his knees buckle and plop down on the floor, you gaze and stature following with him.

You had had enough of all his bitching, so you sharpened your gaze and leaned in, “Wanna say that again?”

He was speechless, and unsuprisingly so. Hid face was a lovely red, and all too pretty…no!All would be reduced to ashes at the Chaos Rulers gaze! But what you didn’t account for, is the sudden feeling of something poking your leg…

“Ahh!” You screamed, getting up to see exactly what you feared, a boner. He’d gotten hard only by you cornering him against the wall..and it was kinda hot..

But it got worse, as you both heard someone gasp from the end of the hall, only to see Tsumugi with a surprised face that morphed into a devilish smile.

“Tsumugi.” You stated matter of factly, you’ve been here long enough just to know what she’d do. “Dont you dare..”

Luckily, she took the hint and sighed, looking to the side solemnly with both her hands clasped together, “Fine..” she moped. “But if you don’t confess to each other in the next two weeks I’m spilling it!”

She ran away too fast for you to make any negotiations, screaming she’d write a “fanfic” about this later, what the hell is that?

Anyway, you shook your head and sighed, looking to see Kokichi’s baffled face, but no one was there.

“Huh..” you thought “Confess to him in the next two weeks..” You sighed to yourself again. Putting your hands in your pockets and walking off with a huff.

Maybe that wouldn’t be such a bad thing…
