#the fic got so weird i cant emphasize it enough AGLFJSKFJSJ

a bit late for the missing aki hours but i still think abt aiko (愛子), bluebird mc's kid with *** ***** and how their name literally means loved child, you've broken me with the whole memory trace plot

I won't lie anon this ask completely bludgeoned me w the aki feelings bc I hadn't thought about that plot in so long.. memory trace was a sad story BUT here is a happy spoiler about the ending of bluebird (which is what I consider what "actually happened" in the context of the fic) if it makes you feel any better:

tw: csm manga spoilers + fucked up sex + literal spoilers for the entire ending of bluebird

so in the ending of bluebird, aki's death is averted because the mc foresees how it'll happen by using her powers - since the future devil lives in aki's eye, when she makes eye contact with aki, she is also making eye contact with the future devil and can see its memories and predictions as a result. she is therefore prepared when the gun devil comes to kill denji and power, and uses her powers to compel it to run away with her. then she has sex with it, forces the gun devil to fall in love with her, and makes it give aki control of his body again. consequently aki becomes something like denji or katana man - he can flip and forth between his human and fiend forms. the difference is that the gun devil is actually a sentient entity within him and will fight him for control at times, more similar to the war devil. either way though, aki is still alive, and even though he is pretty emotionally damaged from now being the gun fiend, he and the reader can have a future together :')
