You enjoyed "Red is aropan in my daydreams and this makes me happy", you liked "Red is demiro in the game and this makes me excited", now get ready for the Threequel

"Red has ADHD and I am over the moon with joy"

V emotional- got so sad when he didn't save the Heroine!!!!

Rejection. Sensitive. Dysphoria. He got super sad when he thought the MC didn't like him :(( but it was Soi!! And Eri's an idiot!! But he wouldn't know that :( he got super sad and had an existential crisis and ran away :( sad boi hours

In Yuri's lil diary entry I can't remember if Tei falls asleep in class and Red stares out the window or if Red falls asleep and Tei stares at the window- either wayyyy

Obsesses over his concept - this could just be cuz of his issues of feeling like a failure but Lance has a similar/opposite issue and imo he seems to kinda ignore his concept, like he doesn't think abt it a lot? Feels like more of a hyperfixation for Red than anything else

As far as I remember he doesn't tend to get involved in conversations unless they're in some way related to smth he's interested in? Like when they talked abt the exams he got distracted by the cheese, and when they were abt to get out the limo once he linked it to the video games he plays and said the ppl outside was like the boss level or smth??

On that note it's easier for him to do stuff that's related to stuff he's interested in- he finds it hard to do maths and focus in lessons and revise but he finds it super easy to read the play script and act in the play. In fact I'm certain the only the reason he got interested in the drama club was cuz of the plot of the play

Stimming!!! ^^ I remember the MC once talking abt him jumping up and down and I think clapping too, and maybe laughing? I personally do a lot of The Happy Giggle Stim™- I don't remember much else to do w that tho

After they went to the shops in Lance's route I can't remember exactly if Red spent a lot but ik the total that everyone bought cost a shit ton and I wouldn't doubt Red would've had a part to play in that. Tei I think spent a lot to piss off Yuri but ADHD means you don't have ~object permanence~ so Red was ~money blind~

Never wears the uniform right. Doesn't wear the fuckin bow thingy, imagine if he did. Red in a bow. So cute.

Probably wears the same outfit all the time w/o prompts from others - I'm literally wearing the same rainbow dress I do all the time and generally only change if it's in the wash or for school etc. This could be a thing that the dolls do anyway but Red was the one who said their original outfits were the most comf sooo

Issues w boundaries esp w the MC. Kinda forced her to join the play even if she didn't want to and made her run to school w/o even a warning and even tho she didn't want to

Issues w controlling volume. He a loud boi

Forgets words/says words weird. I do this all the time. 'Babbler ghost' lmao

Sometimes doesn't understand jokes or sarcasm and often misunderstands/miscommunicates

Doesn't understand social 'rules': randomly starts throwing bread to help the dinner lady; I mentioned this in the last one but he didn't understand the girl who gave him the chocolate had a crush on him; doesn't consider that he shouldn't hang around with the MC all the time cuz it draws attention to her and doesn't seem to understand that That's Bad™; he isn't usually polite- "HEROINE GIMME FOOD :)" lmao <- also says stuff w/o context, I think he started calling her Heroine before he even explained it to her

Overthinks things. Heroine likes Tei -> Heroine doesn't like me -> Heroine ditched me -> Heroine hates me -> No one likes me -> Everyone hates me and Tei and Yeonho only pretend to like me out of pity -> They want to get rid of me -> I should run away. At least that's how I assume it went down-

I completely believe that ADHD would be slightly more understood if it was instead called Dopamine Deficiency Disorder but I won't deny, Red rlly does put the Hyperactivity into Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Again, because I said so, and he makes me very happy :)
