Better luck next time :D

I like that there are two things we learn that recontextualize Akechi's behavior in the Third Semester. On 2/2, we learn about his fate being uncertain - it allows us to look at his behaviors and understand them from the perspective of someone who believes he has a month left to live and who is making a choice to give up on his life. There is also what we learn from either choosing to accept Maruki's offer and/or reading the artbook, which is that Akechi's wish is to be able to keep competing with Ren. This adds the context of him wanting to stay with him and live with him, but choosing to deny it for himself, refusing to accept what Maruki offers.

Two important information that alter how we see his actions when replaying the story and let us see them in a completely new light.

what do you mean its not november 20th?

Lyrics from Gunners In The Rain by Mili! It’s a very Shuake song trust.

also lowk got lazy on the last page dont ask why The Creature became right handed and The Jonkler became left handed in the last panel

really love the way royal fixed the awkward akechi death situation. og game: your rival/other half/only person you couldn't save died in front of you. you went home. you had one discussion in the group chat about it. your cat reminded you that the home shopping program was on so you bought something and then watched a rerun of x files. you laid awake that night lamenting for 2 minutes and then went to bed. welp! that's it. the next day you go to school and none of your friends are talking about it. the game doesn't address this has happened for the rest of its runtime.

royal: exact same thing as above, with the whole situation brushed over, but little do you know that you the main character will have this incident deeply fucking haunt a part of your psyche you are unaware of, making you miss him like a phantom limb you dont even think you really lost. for the next 30 hours of gameplay you will think that this abrupt awkward end to this guy's character arc didn't really affect you until surprise! you compartmentalized this incident SO WELL and with so little active thought about it that it manages to become the final plot twist of the game simply because you dont want to address your unprocessed grief

bonus:

:inhales and slams hands on the desk: akechi. palace. pitch.

disclaimer: the setting for this is all about vibes and aesthetics, it kinda got away from me when i started hashing out the plot around it two months ago so now we're here. in hell. (i'll probably have to make a secondary post i made wayyy too many concepts,)

yes i made an ost for this idea, here is a youtube playlist of chill european jazz
