Astray in the Black Water: Prologue

Fatal Frame 5 crossover Bungo Stray Dogs + Fem Reader

Note: Reader not yet included in this chapter. Proceed to Chapter 1 if you would like to jump in.

Authorities couldn't find the missing girl. After weeks of searching, they left the case for the Armed Detective Agency to handle. Which was then passed to Kyouka.     She searched the mountain again for the missing person. Perhaps the police overlooked something. Rumors said that this abandoned temple was haunted and that this girl wasn't the only one who went missing. Stories of being pushed off cliffs, misty specters of drenched shrine maidens, and trapped souls trying to drag them to the nether world. Though, that didn't faze her at all.      Kyouka did manage to find a bracelet from the missing girl. Right in front of the temple up the hill. She gazed at it, thinking the girl went there. It was a large temple. Multiple floors, countless rooms, spiraling hallways, and some flooding underground. A phantom bell rung randomly, as if trying to call Kyouka. 

She entered a room flooded with water. It was empty and dark. Not even her flashlight could light up the big room. The water was too murky, but there was a chance for a hidden item. As she marched, her foot hit something in the water. She stared at the spot and reached for it. Within that same moment, a head of a woman emerged. Her hair covered her most of her face and she attempted to lunge at her.     Kyouka dodged and saw her robes. This woman rose but her feet levitated above the water. Other drowned women emerged. She never expected to be surrounded by spirits and fled the room. Kyouka isn't easy to scare, however this was a rare moment of her holding back her nerves. She attempted to go back but another spirit, a woman in a black kimono blocked her path. She went the other way and saw a room with light. A possible exit, she thought.

    The doors shut behind her and she stood at the top of the stairs. Again another flooded room but it was surrounded by shelves with pottery. In the center of the room, a light shined down on a black box. She had a moment of revelation, perhaps the girl could be inside that box. She started to make her way to the box. At the halfway point, the box suddenly opened. Black long hair slithered out and into the murky water. It wrapped around her ankles and Kyouka used her knife to cut it. However, her attention landed on the pale specter emerging. She started to panic and tried to tear the hair off.

    The spirit floated into the air. Her eyes were focused on Kyouka. Her arms reached out and she got closer and closer. And that was all Kyouka could remember.

    The ADA waited for her to return that night but she never came back. The morning came and Atsushi never saw her futon undone. Whispers of the news crept along to the café workers, to their friends, and ultimately the ears of the Port Mafia. Most members didn't care about the report. All but one: Kouyou. She couldn't bear the fact that someone had taken Kyouka and she felt the need to rescue her this time. Not Dazai. And just like before, she went to the mountains and underestimated the spirits. The Port Mafia didn't hear from her again. 

    These two events led to the ADA and PM sending out their troops to find their beloved members. Atsushi and Dazai, and Chuuya's party went out into the mountain. They explored the station, the inn, and the groups crossed paths in the forest. Dazai and Chuuya glared daggers at each other.  "Why the fuck are you here?!" Chuuya leaned forward with his hands on his hips. His squad of men stood back on guard.

"You weren't the one I wanted to commit suicide with," Dazai deadpanned.

"Well, I didn't want to do this anyways!" Chuuya snapped back.

Atsushi didn't want either side to start fighting. He took a step forward, asking, "Did you guys also lose someone here?"

Chuuya looked over to Atsushi. "And why should I give an answer to the Armed Detective Agency?"

"Because~," Dazai chimed in. "The Port Mafia wouldn't be looking into this unless someone important went missing."

"Well if you just kept an eye on your member, we wouldn't have been here to begin with!" Chuuya shot back. 

"You should have kept an eye too!"

    Atsushi let the two men bicker as he took a look of his surroundings while giving them space. He knew there was no stopping them. In the corner of his eye, he saw a white figure. He only got a look of the robes before it disappeared, and the chiming of a bell rung in his ear.

"Oi! Did anyone else see that?" Atsushi asked.

Dazai and Chuuya followed his gaze. They shook their heads.

"Do you really believe in ghost stories?" Chuuya scoffed as he put his hand on his hip.

"No, I really saw something," Atsushi argued.

"Really?~" Dazai crept up behind Atsushi. "There are a lot of stories about this place. A place to commit suicide, spirits drive you to death, or--!" He tapped his fingers along Atsushi's shoulders as if trying to make a crawling sensation. "The infamous hachishakusama is said to lurk here."

Atsushi shivered. "The eight feet tall woman?"

Chuuya rolled his eyes. "It's all stories! None of it is real."

"Because you refuse to admit your fear~" Dazai teased. 

"I'm not scared!"

    Atsushi sighed. He goes away from the group to continue his investigation. Though, he was wary enough to stay in sight, in case things go wrong. He comes across a broken bridge. Across was a shrine. He thought he saw something float in the water. He shook his head and saw nothing. Dazai would soon join him, after finishing his bickering with Chuuya. 

"Hah... Now I don't feel like doing anything," Dazai sighed and looked around.

"We have to look for Kyouka," Atsushi reminded him, turning his back on the river. "She could be stuck anywhere on this mountain."

Dazai hummed in thought. "Strange... Kyouka is not one who goes down easily. If nothing was on the mountain, she should have returned home. Even stranger when a Port Mafia executive disappeared shortly after too."

"So, there must be something that made them lost..." Atsushi added. 

"Now, I don't believe in ghost stories, however, locals say this mountain is cursed," Dazai brought up as he puts his hands in his coat pockets. "Others have disappeared here, and this is a hot suicide spot!" His eyes sparkled.

Atsushi gave him a look of disbelief. "Why would you commit suicide in a cursed mountain?" 

"Because if people succeeded here, then surely I will," Dazai replied. "I don't need you dying now," Atsushi rolled his eyes. "Look, let's check out that temple over there."

    They looked across the river were the temple sat, not noticing the sheer, pale hand coming from the water. Groans of pain were heard and it seized Atsushi's ankle and pulled him into the water. Atsushi let out a yelp. Dazai yelled his name and tried to get a hold of him. The figure that stood before Atsushi was a drenched man. His clothes stuck to his body, his hair fell down his face, and his mouth was wide open. He held onto him like a zombie. Atsushi attempted to use his tiger claw to cut his arm, but his hands went through the spirit.

  "I can't hit him!" Atsushi yelled out.

"You can't hit ghosts! Get out of there!" Dazai managed to grab a hold of his collar and reeled him in.

Atsushi wiggled out of the ghost's grasp. Though, the spirit followed. They fled from the river to get some distance. Afar, they heard some commotion too. A yelp familiar to Dazai before a log hits the ground with a loud thud. They heard commands to fire at will but the bullets only hit the trees and dirt.

"Sounds like Chuuya is figuring out he can't hit ghosts either," Dazai says as he looked at the direction of the noise.

"If our abilities don't affect these ghosts, then what do we do?" Atsushi asked.

"Find something that handles ghosts," Dazai replied.

In that same moment, Chuuya came to the same area panting, holding his hat. His men followed with goosebumps crawling on their skin. 

"Dammit! What the hell are we supposed to do against these spirits?!" Chuuya hit a tree trunk with his fist. "Oi Dazai, don't you know?"

Dazai shrugged. "Exorcisms?"

Chuuya scoffed. "Even those guys will run with their tails between their legs. Ain't there an ability user who can deal with this?"

The other two shrugged their shoulders. Neither of them knew anyone who had that ability. Even if they asked a psychic, there was a chance that they are not legitimate. However, Atsushi had an idea.

"What if we ask Ranpo for some legitimate users?" He asked.

"We could. He can narrow it down easily for us," Dazai agreed with a nod. "But who's paying?"

The ADA members stared at Chuuya, expectantly.

"Hah? Why are you looking at me?!" He snapped, pointing a finger to himself.

"Surely you have lots of money to afford your clothes," Dazai smirked.

"And surely the government gives you guys a good payout," Chuuya shot back.

"Well..." Atsushi raised his hands up to his chest. "We could split. Fifty-Fifty?"

"Fair enough," Chuuya nods. 

Dazai snickered behind him. "Yeah that works," He said as he hid his grin with his hand.

They all heard a bell ring and felt like someone was watching them.

"You guys settle that then and tell me who you got," Chuuya says as he was getting ready to leave. "The faster you get them, the better. I'm gonna need them too."

"Okay but we call first dibs," Dazai added.

  "It better be quick finding Kyouka." Chuuya turned away to mutter, "I'm worried about big sis..."

    The trio split ways. Dazai and Atsushi went back to Ranpo to figure out the best candidate. They compiled a list of self-proclaimed psychics and Ranpo would narrow down the options. A majority were not legitimate. Others were true, however their abilities were more about the future, past, or simply too weak. However, there was one name that Ranpo was certain of. (Y/N) (L/N). (Y/N) has a different practice of psychometry. "Shadow reading." However, her work was not solely focused on her job as a psychic investigator. She also owned a small café in a quiet part of town.

    With the right person to go to, Kunikida, Dazai, and Atsushi set out to meet her.

The cover art I made for my Wei Wuxian/Fem!OC/Lan Wangji polyamory fanfic, Astray.

Link to fic and more info under the cut. It’s ongoing at 103,144 words.

The OC is a bisexual & demisexual masculine Vietnamese-American woman who gets transported into the world of MDZS and is shrunk into a child again. She has to travel the cultivation world Mulan style and cross-dresses as a boy (honestly, as a gnc woman, she prefers it) to find a way back home to our world. She tries very hard to survive with her future knowledge of the original MDZS story.

The story is slow-paced, slow build, and slow burn.

It was bad enough when Daemyra stans were trying to say Nettles was just a “plot device” and should be cut from the show or replaced with Rhaena, but now some Green stans are trying to reduce her characterization and significance to the narrative as well 🤦🏽‍♀️I can’t emphasize this enough, Nettles is not just some downtrodden teenage girl that Daemon screwed.

Nettles is the only canonically Black character in Fire & Blood. She’s possibly the only non-Valyrian dragon rider that we know of. She claimed a dragon not with blood ties or magic, but with her own cleverness. She tamed Sheepstealer, a wild dragon who had never had a rider before. Who killed numerous dragonseeds before her. She comes from absolutely nothing. She survives the dance, and she is worshipped as a freaking fire goddess. Her story begins and ends independently of Daemon.

At any rate, there is nothing wrong with Daemon and Nettles' romantic relationship. Fans are underestimating its importance to the story. Yeah, the age gap can be questionable, as well as the power dynamics, but Daemon does actually put Nettles first above everyone. Above everything. She helps him to realize the possibility that Valyrian supremacy is built on a lie. That there is more to life than power or the Iron Throne. You are more than your blood or your name and she shows that.

Nettles is his light. Daemon is not a morally gray character without her. Daemon and Rhaenyra was never supposed to be a love story. Rhaenyra was a tyrant(and yeah it’s partially Daemon’s fault) by the time Daemon and Nettles became lovers. Hell, he was already "cheating" on her with Mysaria. If he had stuck by his wife’s side what kind of man would he be? If he had gone back to Rhaenyra or let her orders for Nettles' head be executed in a bid to remain “loyal” to her and her cause, what does that say about him?

He would have have never progressed as a character. He would have remained a conniving overly ambitious man with a superiority complex willing to use and trample over innocents for a throne.

Daemon genuinely cares for Nettles. For the first time in her life, she has someone willing to do everything for her. He loves her. Unselfishly. In a way, I would say that they liberate one another from fear and dogma. So no, she doesn’t need “saving” from him. Nettles isn’t Daemon’s poor unfortunate victim.

You dislike Daemon or whatever fine, but don’t bring Nettles into it as a “gotcha moment.” Nettles can stand on her own. She’s not a good-time girl. She’s not some little girl being misused. She doesn’t serve to make Daemon look more villainous. She’s not some trivial character that can be replaced by another in the show just because they now happen to share the same skin tone.

She is an important character in her own right. She has her own story. Her relationship with Daemon is not one based on grooming or abuse. Let Nettles be complex. Let her be loved. See her as someone who is vulnerable yet resilient and capable. See her as her own force. Put some respect on Netty’s name👏🏽

Day 5 of my Daily MO-Series!

I decided to challenge myself a bit by drawing at least 1 MO everyday. The lack of Fanart for this Game is breaking my heart, so I wanna make up for that lmao

[your-favourite-plague]

There are sightings of mysterious occurrences near the marshlands. Locals talk about the weird creature seen in the area [a drawing by an alleged witness is attached], yet no evidence of this was found. The investigation has not revealed anything significant so far, but caution is advised.

And whatever you do — do not follow the lights.

I repeat — do not follow the lights.

Astray in the Black Water: Chapter 1

Fatal Frame 5 crossover Bungo Stray Dogs x Fem Reader

<- Prologue

It was another quiet day at your café. Just a small group of customers sitting with their warm drinks and your employees enjoying their break. Being a hidden jewel, the café had its perks. Slow days, memorizing the regular's usuals, and a small, reliable team.

However, this was only for a more consistent salary. Your other job, psychic investigations, was the one you focused more on. Seeing what others can't, visions of the past, and being able to sense traces of a person or object. Abilities passed down by your great grandmother, who was a former shrine maiden. Though, no one knew why she left her position and not much else is known about her past. A voice broke your train of thought.

"Hello? We are looking for (Name)," said a young man in white hair. Your coworker pointed to you. There you saw the newcomer accompanied by two others. One with fluffy brown hair and a long, tan coat and the other with blonde hair and glasses. The eyes of the brown haired man glimmered when his eyes landed on you. You got up from your seat to meet them halfway.

"Good afternoon gentlemen. Were you interested in psychic investigations?"

"Yes, we are," answered the man with glasses. "My name is Kunikida Doppo," he nods in your direction.

"I'm Nakajima Atsushi," the sectoral heterochromia eyed boy bowed his head and smiled softly. "It's nice to meet you miss."

"Dazai Osamu," the man with the fluffy hair pushed his two companions and gently took your hand.

"Oh my… so beautiful!" Dazai looked at you with eyes of adoration. Kunikida glared at him in the back. "Would you bless my ears by telling me the name of this fair maiden?"

You paused before awkwardly answering. "(Last Name) (First Name)… It's a pleasure to meet you too."

Dazai continues, "When I first laid my eyes on you, you seemed so deep in sorrow, yet that serene expression accentuates your elegance. Do you happen to want to end it all? To commit a double suici--!"

"Inappropriate behavior!" Kunikida slammed his fist on Dazai's head which made him let go of your hand. Everyone in the café looked in horror.

"Um… please take this outside," you say politely.

"Apologies," Kunikida dragged Dazai outside the café and proceeded to beat and scold him. Dazai let out some weird, comical moans. The customers looked out the window in confusion and murmured about the commotion.

To you, this was one of the very rare disturbances that happened in your café. Hardly anything ever occurs here, so this was rather shocking.

"Sorry about that," Atsushi rubbed his neck. "This is something they do a lot."

"Oh…" is all you can mutter. Really, you hope they don't make another scene.

"So, anyways… We need your help finding someone. We lost a coworker in Mt. Hikami."

Your heart sank hearing those words. It's tragic to hear someone's disappearance, however, you knew that mountain was known to be cursed. You had visited the mountain before looking for lost objects. But, when it came to people, nearly all of them met a bad end. From finding their corpses whether by accident or suicide. To see a vision of how they met their end. All their pains and emotions they went through. Worst yet, when you saw a high school girl jump to her death, you couldn't save her. There was only a few you can name that you found alive.

"I-I can help. Though, I can't guarantee if they are found… alive," you say hesitantly.

Atsushi widened his eyes. "You mean she could be dead?"

You nod. "I have found many who have passed. This coworker of yours, has she thought about suicide?"

Atsushi shook his head. "No! She was investigating a mysterious disappearance in the mountain, but she never came back to the office. It's only been two days."

"Then there may be some hope. All I require is either a personal item of theirs or a photo of them."

Atsushi took a moment to think. Kunikida reentered the café, with Dazai nowhere to be seen. Atsushi asked Kunikida if he had something of Kyouka's. Luckily, he had a photo of her.

"This is her, Kyouka," Kunikida handed you the photo. You took it and studied the girl on the photo. She wore a red kimono in the picture and looked young.

"It will do," you got up from your seat. "Let me get a few things and then I'll head to the mountain."

"We're coming along," Atsushi added before you disappeared into the diamond door.

Dazai rejoined the group rubbing his cheek. He whined to Kunikida that he shouldn't have made such a scene in a quiet neighborhood.

Finally, you came out and you all went to the mountain and you decided to use the cable car to reach your destination sooner. The power was still on and you pressed a button to get it moving.

"You mentioned you found many people already dead in this place," Atsushi brought up as he sat down on one of the seats. Kunikida and Dazai looked with interest. "Do you know why?"

Your lips curled into a frown and your eyes looked down.

"Most come to die when the sun sets. Sometimes people get lost and encounter spirits here," you replied.

"Nonsense. W-Why would anyone believe in ghosts?" Kunikida interjected but his lips quivered.

"Well…"

Before you could say anything, you felt Dazai's hand on your shoulder. "Oh you know, who doesn't like a good ghost story?" He grinned mischievously. "With so many people dying, lots of people would think their spirits could be bound here."

"We did have an encounter--" Atsushi said before getting cut off.

"With a familiar friend," Dazai winked at Atsushi. "Looking for a lost item~"

"Still… there are no ghosts. Right?" Kunikida asked.

"Nope!" Dazai smiled innocently.

You contemplated whether you should correct him or not, but you decided to trust him enough that things won't go too bad. You did notice how Kunikida's demeanor was more anxious when the topic of spirits came up. So it was probably best to not freak him out.

The cable car stopped at the station. You look at the photo of Kyouka again and you felt a trace. Only you could see a faint figure walk in the direction. So you led the way.

The sun shined on the forest and you weren't expecting that much spirit activity. You passed by the shrine of dolls which was long abandoned. There were a lot of dolls sitting on the shrine, old and weathered by time. Still, those empty eyes gave off eerie vibes, mostly to Kunikida.

"This is such a pretty place to die. Vast forests, running rivers," Dazai says as he looked around. "All I'm missing is a lovely lady to accompany me."

Atsushi sighed. "Please don't."

Your vision suddenly went colorless. Up ahead, you saw Kyouka heading inside the shrine of dolls. She took a right since the entrance was blocked by the dolls. In this moment, you took out the camera obscura to take a photo of the trace. Once taken, you saw color in the world again. Kyouka's figure disappeared as well, but now you know where to go.

"I didn't know you liked taking photos," Dazai commented with a smug grin. "Want one of me?~"

Your brow's knitted together. "This isn't for recreational use. The camera captures what you can't see with the naked eye."

"Oh…" Dazai glanced away with his hands behind his head.

You showed them the picture on the camera screen. There was Kyouka going in the shrine. Something they never saw.

"How is that possible?" Kunida inquired, with his brows furrowed.

"This camera was crafted with special lens to capture things not seen in our world," you replied, tucking the camera away. "A very rare type, so you can't purchase it easily."

"Then how did you get yours?" Atsushi asked.

"This was given to me by a local family. I use it for my investigations," you turned to the shrine. "Let's keep going."

You opened the sliding door on the right of the shrine to enter. You had to take out your flashlight since it was pretty dim in the shrine. The silence was too deafening. Nothing but the sounds of wood creaking and your footsteps were heard. You continued to follow Kyouka's trace through the shrine and lead the way. Dazai noticed how you were the one always opening the doors. For once, he offered to open the door first this time.

And through that door was the exit of the shrine that lead to the path. Dolls in kimonos hung from trees and swayed with the breeze. It was unsettling to see how they almost looked like corpses. Kunikida shuddered at the sight and gulped.

"I-I realized that I have neglected my reports, in which are required to be submitted by this evening," he said hesitantly.

"No you don't," Dazai smiled smugly.

"That includes your assignments as well," Kunikida looked at him blankly.

They heard a faint, childlike giggle.

"Are you finding entertainment in my misfortune?" He asked.

"I don't sound that childish," Dazai retorts.

You glanced at the sky to see that the sun was setting, painting the atmosphere in warm colors. The hanging dolls swayed with the chilly breeze. Then you turned your attention back to the boys. "We should leave the mountain soon. We will be more at risk in nightfall." They all nod in agreement. Kunikida was more enthusiastic about the depature than the rest of the group. You all went back to the cable car to descend to the bottom of the mountain. You gazed at the glowing sunset. How the sun colored the skies and clouds red-orange.

Atsushi looked over at the seats and noticed a woman sitting alone. He could only see the back of her head.

"Oh… We're not the only ones," he pointed out, feeling a chill run down his spine.

You and the others looked at the woman. She wasn't there before. Not even when you entered the cable car. Kunikida attempted to hide his expression and pushed his glasses up with his finger. Dazai had an odd smile. As if enjoying Kunikida's reaction while also blankly staring at the strange woman.

The forest was only getting darker as the sun sets. The woman turned around to face them. Her skin was pale as paper and her eyes were fully black. Kunikida shrieked, which also made Atsushi yelp. She stood up and started coming towards them. Kunikida backed away as far as he could. Dazai's eyes widened, looking mildly disturbed but he stayed a couple feet behind you. You took out your camera obscura and pointed it at the ghost.

"Are you crazy?! Why are you taking photos right now?!" Kunikida yelled out.

"Just trust me!" You replied, as there was no time to explain.

"(Name)! It's coming to you!" Atsushi shouted.

"I know!"

The ghostly woman reached her arms out to lunge at you. At the perfect moment, you countered her attack by snapping pictures of her. The boys watched in shock at how the ghost was affected by your camera. She stumbled backwards and let out screams of pain. She teleported behind you with her back towards the men. You had to repeat your tactic to take her fully down. Once she fell on her knees, you came forward to touch the spirit.

You froze in place as you saw a vision of her past. She came to this forest alone at night. Depression filled her soul and her only intent was to kill herself. However, in her final moments, she began to see the spirits surround her in the lake. Fear filled her mind and she attempted to flee. Only for the spirits to block her paths, and drag her under the water.

The cable car came to a stop and once the door opened, Kunikida bolted out of there in a flash. He wasted no time and fled as fast as he can. Atsushi and Dazai were shaken up, slightly trembling. You looked at the door incrediously and let out a sigh.

"Perhaps it would be best to not bring Kunikida tomorrow," you say, turning to them.

"Agreed," Atsushi nodded.

Dazai snorted. "That was the best reaction I ever seen," he giggled. "You should have taken a photo!"

You rolled your eyes and you all left the mountain. When you got to the city, night has fully settled. Street lights lit the roads and the sound of crickets sung for the moon.

"Say (Name), you should visit our office tomorrow," Atsushi suggested.

"Mmm," you nod in agreement. "I think I will take you up on your offer."

"Oh! Here's our office phone number!" Dazai took your hand and slids a piece of paper on your palm.

Atsushi glanced at the writing. "Wait that's not our number," he pointed out.

"My work number," the brown haired man let go of your hand.

"I recognize this as your personal number…" He raised an eyebrow. Dazai smiled "innocently."

"You forgot to write our address," Atsushi took out a pen. "Here, let me write it down."

You gave him the note and he wrote the address down. He scribbled out the number and jotted down the proper phone line of the office. Dazai's eyebrows furrowed. His one chance of giving his number to a pretty lady, all ruined! He crossed his arms with a small pout, but neither you or Atsushi noticed.

After that, you split ways from the ADA members to return home as they did the same. The night went by and in the morning, you got up to ready yourself to visit their office. You went through a café and up the stairs. There you opened the door and the office staff greeted you.

There you decided to....

-> Visit Kunikida -> Visit Atsushi -> Visit Dazai

This is purely a choice if you would like to read them all. No order necessary.

-> Chapter 2

[gremoria411]

Hm weird thought.

So Al Da Flaga in Gundam SEED.

(Right is the best picture we have of him, but left is more representative in my opinion)

He commissions multiple clones of himself from Dr Hibiki in order to inherit his wealth and power, and the way Rau puts it, in order to achieve a form of immortality.

Thing is, how many clones does he commission?

Because we know that Rau le Creuset(Top Right) is his clone, who eventually ended up killing him and from who we know most of our information about him (Rau is in the middle of his Big Villain Speech when he says most of this, but he’s essentially recounting his origin so I trust what he says here). Rey Za Burrel (bottom left) is also a clone and was made later, most likely as a replacement for Rau once Al found out he was a flawed clone. Thing is, Al was dead before he had much of a chance to impact Rey’s development (Mu doesn’t remember Rau, so Rau must have murdered Al and burnt down the estate when they were both quite young), so it’s implied that Rau and Durandal were the primary influences on Rey’s life, as shown in this image:

Mu La Flaga (top left) is, by all accounts, Al’s biological son, who he hated because he believed that Mu’s mother had tainted him in some way (though I’ll be honest, I’ve accidentally read Mu as the successful clone multiple times prior).

And then, finally, there’s Prayer (bottom right), who’s a “clone of an EA pilot with excellent spatial awareness”. Which sounds to me like the EA found a Al clone and accidentally read it as a clone of his son Mu (which would imply that disinheriting Mu was pointless, since he’s already a really close genetic match). I mean, that makes more sense to me than the EA commissioning a one-off clone, something they despise on the same level of coordinators, just to reproduce a single good pilot. However, I can’t find anything that explicitly states this, so it’s just weird.

But apparently Rey was just one of multiple clones? So prayer could have been part of the same “Batch”? And/or there could be a bunch more Al Da Flaga clones running around, this turning them into an expy of Puru?
