Murderdad!

So Edea is genuinely and sincerely fond of everyone in their murderfamily, first off, because of their shared experience, and also because of the way things were set up. Even though it was just a few short nights and it was kinda fakey because of the mind control, she really came to appreciate what they had in that clubhouse. When she was younger, she didn't receive much familial love, and she didn't have friends more than she had like mentors (mentors she ended up having to kill because they were doing horrifically evil things). So just having the chance to sit around and relax to be silly was really great! She had that with her RPG party back at home, too, but they were always rushing around saving one city or another so it wasn't the same as the time they had in the clubhouse either.

On Royce specifically, she doesn't really see him as a 'dad' figure but more as someone on the same-ish level even if they're really far apart in age. She was only really just beginning to get to know him before she ended up in the graveyard, but she had a high opinion about his intelligence and his general competence, and she really was trusting him to try and keep things together for Murderfamily. Ciel was also competent but he was way too much so; Royce was someone who could also sort of keep Ciel from getting to be Too Much, as it were.

Once they ended up in the graveyard together and started talking about their respective apocalypses, she really began to sympathize with his situation. It really isn't... easy to think about your world being obliterated, to say the least, and Royce being able to accept it and to keep pushing forward even still earned him a lot of respect! She doesn't think she'll fail her own mission, but if so, she hopes she can at least be like Royce and be able to pick up the pieces afterwards.

At the end, she really isn't joking when she says Royce is welcome to come with her; he probably wouldn't appreciate fantasyland at all but she really does like and respect him a good deal! Murderdad is legit.

Mahiru was one of the only people who actively tried to be friendly to Edea in those first few days! She really appreciated that, especially knowing Mahiru's own situation. It was hard enough being able to be friendly just coming into this game, but being snatched straight from practically the exact same thing? She understood that friendship didn't necessarily mean anything about trust, of course, but to offer even that made her feel pretty warm and fuzzy.

........which is... part of the reason why she wanted to save Mahiru first....

So the other thing she'd noticed was that Mahiru was really afraid. In the first few trials, she was either pushing hard for execution or just looking and sounding really desperate and fearful, and she felt really awful about it. For Mahiru to be in another situation like this... She really wanted her to understand the truth, that it wasn't real! She wanted to spare her the pain.

Then Mahiru died - but really because Mabel wanted Dipper safe - and Edea died and whoops it wasn't the way she actually thought it was. But Mahiru's first action... was to dive in front of her to protect her! So her affection for Mahiru really shot up again because of that. Without any prompting, Mahiru had understood that the situation the VIPs were in was really something that you couldn't make a quick judgment on.

She was still concerned about Mahiru for a while because of the hopelessness she occasionally expressed, so she gave Missile the secret mission of cheering Mahiru up. Now at the end, Mahiru is one of the non-VIP guessts she has the highest opinion of and she really sincerely hopes that everything will be OK at home...!

spoilers they won't be

Oh Aya...

So honestly the information she distributed was so helpful to the VIP cause at first that all of the VIPs were just like 'well let's just... ignore her.' Personally, she thought Aya was pretty irresponsible and kind of selfish in that she was publishing things even when they could directly cause harm to others. ...It was all fake, of course, but Aya didn't know that!

Then came Day 2 and the general fiasco with the Missile pictures. She really had no idea what the pictures meant at first, since she was being lumped in with Levi, but after speaking with K, she pretty much understood everything that was going to happen. She leapt into damage control mode - she didn't think it would succeed, but... she needed to sound out Aya about what she believed about the pictures. Also she needed to insinuate some lies. So up until then, she thought Aya wasn't too bright and was a useful tool... sorry Aya.

But at the end, her overall feelings on Aya are pretty neutral! As a reporter should be perhaps. She still thinks she's incredibly mercenary, but Aya is smarter than she gave her credit for. She asked a lot of important questions and always questioned things without taking them at face value, which she appreciates. She also tended to not get caught up in the hysteria that the others descended into. Aya generally kept a cool head and honestly the newspapers were entertaining enough and enough work at least that she totally deserved to survive to the end.

OTORI EMOTIONS. Okay so my public confessions to make are twofold. The first is that after all the trouble getting the camera letter in on time, I decided to write letters only to the people with whom Koizumi had private conversations. In "Mahiru's Room" you can see the many other letters she didn't really have time to finish - because her classmates were a given, she had just seen Otori, and she was about to see Aya.

The second confession is that five years ago there absolutely would have been a romance angle and overcoming this narrative tendency was really difficult as a writer. The truth is, when Hinata gives her so much attention that she finally tells him she likes him, even though I don't think she's coming from a sincere romantic place I do feel like Koizumi is in a bad place where she herself saw things that way. Averting this narrative inertia required careful rationing of jokes about a "jilted lover" and "Mommy's secret girlfriend".

So from the very beginning when Otori was praising her work so much and willing to discuss things with her in more depth, Koizumi really had no idea that he did this with many other people. She is very starved for this kind of praise after complete social isolation in middle school, hence why a person like Hiyoko can command her loyalty so easily. Otori might have obviously been greedy and rich in a moderately repulsive manner, but he was also intelligent and articulate and polite enough to let her riff about his flaws, enough that she enjoyed his acquaintanceship. (Also helped that he never needed her assistance in basic tasks... Man, she would have gone off on him so hard in the bunker if he had asked her how a fucking can opener worked, which is pretty hypocritical considering that when Suoh asked her she ended up finding it kind of adorable)

A lot of Koizumi's more low-key ladypain is easy to miss in canon, perhaps most notably that she personally blames herself for Togami's death. As dubious as she was of his forceful nature and paranoid policies, he was revealed to obviously be a good person. (She still thought it was stupid - not contemptworthy, but the wrong decision - that Togami sacrificed himself for Komaeda. This led to her belief that simple martyrdom has to have a net benefit, and shouldn't be based on "I'd rather me die than you I'm trash".)

At the start of the park game, she likes her classmates, sure... mostly Ibuki. She was distant from Tanaka, Peko was distant from her, and Kuzuryuu was a clusterfuck. Honestly, against the wall she never would have chosen any of them over a park member; I mean, Tanaka over Levi would have been obvious, but Peko over Kenny the medic, no. Koizumi considered every DR2 character her personal friend (Hanamura and Togami included; Kuzuryuu and kind of Komaeda not included) but she tried to consider every dreamland character her personal friend, which was really hard because there were over 40 other people, some of whom were openly hostile and others she just plain never got time to meet. To an extent, Koizumi was relieved at the time that Otori admitted they couldn't be friends - but she thought that he felt the same way as her about their casual acquaintanceship having value.

Okay, and then Kuzuryuu "died". Now considering all the DR2 characters her friends did not actually mean she could trust they would never commit murder, as was immediately made SUPER FUCKING OBVIOUS BY PEKO GOING FULL YAKUZA. She did not have the luxury like Otori did of knowing his Ouran characters for several months. Koizumi's main problem was that she saw Kuzuryuu dying as proof that he was a good person with his classmates' best interest in mind albeit possibly at the costs of others. In reality, Kuzuryuu's good heart and inno status were totally unrelated. However, Koizumi believed that neither Tanaka nor Ibuki were bad-hearted enough to be mafia and obviously mafia Peko didn't make sense in light of full yakuza Peko. Thus, Koizumi needed to believe all her living classmates were inno to continue believing in a bad-hearted mafia, rather than a good-hearted mafia with whom she should be cooperating.

And this is where Otori comes in; he was convenient proof that it might not be completely stupid or even self-sacrificing to feel that way. At the time she was grateful to him and was well on her way to convinced of his innocence. High school cult was the next best thing to Being Alone With Aya. High school cult never happened, of course, because--

Ibuki came out, proof that Mahiru had betrayed everyone to the bad-hearted mafia; and then Koizumi survived, proof that there really was a good-hearted mafia. There was no compromise between "I was a bad obstructive villager who hampered the good mafia" and "I was a stupid trustful villager who betrayed my secrets to the mafia". As Koizumi sincerely believed the dream story at first, she was stuck in "good mafia" mode, which is not a particularly happy place to be! She was stuck with Malik, Levi, Kuzuryuu, and Sakaki, friends with exactly none of them; her relationship with Dipper was also strained because each had been told explicitly by their "murderers" that their death was the other buddy's fault. Then Edea showed up, the first person she looked forward to seeing again, this is already very long so I'll try to put those feelings in my reply to Edea.

Thus, Otori was the second person in the graveyard who she looked forward to seeing again... but he blamed her for his death. Outwardly Otori placed himself firmly in the "bad mafia" camp, a place Koizumi didn't want to go... but in the bad mafia camp, her actions in causing his death had actually been beneficial because he was a no-role single. So whether mafia was strictly good or strictly bad, Koizumi could not justify his initial anger at her, and the letter incident itself had been Aya's fault anyway.

She just was so angry. Everyone but Edea in the graveyard was inno. Koizumi could no longer justify Kuzuryuu's class=yakuza approach, but since Kuzuryuu was inno and everything was so amnesia-awkward between them, she never actually had any outlet at all to yell at him about this. Now there was Otori and he had done basically the same thing, right down to her worst fear that Kuzuryuu was only acting polite because the game forced him to do so and he needed to curry favor. This ran the gamut from technically true decontextualized uncharitable interpretations to outright off-base "you should have taken responsibility for me" stuff that Otori was really never under any obligation to have done.

After that Koizumi kind of felt better, or at least realized that she had been projecting Kuzuryuu onto Otori. She awkwardly attempted to return to their previous acquaintanceship but they couldn't actually bond over hating on Suoh because Otori secretly retained his feelings of friendship towards Suoh. Man, she didn't know him at all. She didn't even know his friends. Did you know Koizumi has literally no fucking idea the whole time that Hitachiin is a twin? On her side she never thought she was being so presumptuous about Otori, just that she took his admission of hosts=yakuza loyalty and ran with it.

For the rest of the game their conversations were most dynamic in that she felt like they had enough of a connection for her to yell at him appropriately unlike say Malik. Over time it became increasingly obvious that she was not even a little bit special to him at all and he didn't care about whether she liked him or not and she just gave up on engaging with him at any deep level. Their anticlimactic goodbye thread is the best example of this and the whole CR in a nutshell; she makes attempts to be intelligent and friendly but realizes in short order that Otori will only return the former, not the latter.

Cieellllllll

She's so sad about Ciel. Like honest to goodness if you asked her who came out the worst in this she would answer Ciel and she wouldn't think that was unfair at all. Injuries can be healed by white magic, hurt feelings can be mended, the 'dead' were already revived, but to be so completely broken like that is really just something else altogether.

Back during the Good ol' Days when she was still around, Ciel earned her respect from pretty much the moment he said that he would be fine sharing the burden of the deaths. It was a little weird for such a young kid, but then, as she said later, she felt like she understood where he was coming from given her own childhood. The first few days, she thought it was funny to tease him just because he would do that thing where he puffed up and looked indignant and she thought he really didn't mind underneath that! Then she went too far and he got legitimately angry.

What she got out of that at the time was that Ciel was just at the age where he really needed to prove himself - it was a little patronizing, but she knew the way she felt back then, and there really wasn't anything to do besides support him. He would understand when he got a little older.

...Then the revelation came and oh wait their circumstances weren't the same at all Ciel's were like a million times worse. But in a sense, the same type of motivation was propelling him, so to some degree, she felt she could still dimly understand why he needed to act the way he did and she really did respect that. She also really appreciated that he was actually willing to talk about it with her, since it was an intensely private thing. It would be wrong to answer that sort of trust with anything besides acceptance and support - besides, she would do the same thing in his situation.

When she 'died', she trusted that Ciel would basically keep everyone on track but she also hoped that the others could bring some levity and lightness to his life, too.

And then the VIPs kept rolling in... one after another... and it was just Ciel.

At that point, it was just two small children left and she was really incredibly nervous about the immense amount of pressure that Ciel would feel he was under. And then things just kept getting worse - Oz's shounen speech, Ciel's murder of Oz, Oz's declaration that Ciel intended to end it all the next day... When they broke out of the bunker, really her concern that Ciel might actually hurt someone was equaled by her concern for Ciel that he might just snap and go completely insane.

Then he snapped and went insane.

Now that everything's wrapping up, she still feels an incredible amount of concern for him. He's too young to have gone through so much crap; she'd like to go and just murder everyone who wronged him for him so he doesn't have to deal with it anymore but there's really nothing she can do! And now his soul is bound to a demon and he's going to like go to hell forever or something and she's just struck by how hopeless and tragic his situation is.

Of course she knows he would hate it if she openly said anything along those lines, so... as she said, all she can do is continue to support him. To her it feels kind of hollow because again, there's nothing physically she do, but she hopes, at least, he can go home knowing there's someone who genuinely cares about him still. She doesn't know if that will make him feel better at all, but that's all she's really got...! She also does genuinely respect his drive and motivation - it's coming out of necessity, in a way, but it's incredibly impressive especially now that she's seen how broken he once was.

Sob, I was thinking the same thing about that last thread.

I'm sorry, I've enjoyed playing with you! She didn't do anything wrong, he's just an asshole to people.

Murdersis!

Ibuki is the murderfamily member Edea feels the most open affection for; she's ridiculous and silly but it's really impossible not to love her energy and her enthusiasm and her ability to be humanized fun. Edea hadn't had much opportunity to be very silly and spontaneous before, so in the beginning, she was kind of uncertain. But she decided really quickly that you know what, there's no reason they shouldn't have fun, so she rolled with it and really came to genuinely appreciate Ibuki for what she brought to their meetings! Edea also never had anyone like a younger sister in her life, so she very quickly came to see Ibuki that way even though they were pretty close in age. Learning about the other game she already came from also made her feel a bit protective; for Ibuki's sake, they really had to win!

Then she died! ...And everything was terrible because the brainwashing wore off and she saw that Ibuki and Ciel had actually ended up hurting Kazoo for real and she was really afraid that Ibuki would end up in the graveyard and completely freak out about legitimately hurting the people she cared about most. In a sense, she was glad that Ibuki came shortly after she did; Ibuki and Tamaki were really the ones she worried about most (Mabel notwithstanding since she was pretty sure they wouldn't ever let her do any other murders).

Ibuki's debrief was awful and it only intensified her feelings about younger sister hood; she felt super protective of her after that! Protective against whoever had brought them there and also protective against the other guests. They were fine to yell at her as much as she liked, but she would definitely have gone off on anyone if she had seen them harass Ibuki for her role as a VIP. From then on, I like to think she sort of followed Ibuki around glaring at people until the next few VIPs came.

At the end, she really really hopes Ibuki will come out of her game OK even though she didn't get the prize she was promised. She will sincerely miss having an Ibuki in her life and she would offer to have Ibuki come home with her if she likes except she thinks Ibuki would probably rather be with her friends regardless of what they're returning to. She likes to think that, just like this game, they'll all survive against the odds and she'll be fervently praying for her success.

except she doesn't succeed alas =(

As a somewhat traditionalist person, Mahiru takes a view that Children Are Children and should not be exposed to violence plus require caretaking. Their delusions are Kenny accepted her help i.e. lots of offscreen laundry and meals (...elephant dorm lyfe) but in the onscreen threads themselves Kenny demonstrated a really impressive degree of self sufficiency. Good for him! He was even calmer than her sometimes. She didn't really directly hear that he had that canon immortality issue, so she was just so proud of him for staying even more calmer than her. Supporting her at the body discoveries... RIP me.

Of course Mahiru was always ready to scold him for being crude, but however age inappropriate his South Park dialogue was, he was rarely directly berating a person while she was alive. (Later he had strong words for Nui and Clash but by then she was watching from the bunker, making her disapproval milder.) Dipper's own "death", caused by her, was proof that the trauma train would happily run over small children as well. So even though she might have disapproved of his costumes and crossdressing in standard nonsumptuous circumstances, people were getting "murdered", they had bigger things to worry about, and if he was going to have coping mechanisms, she wasn't going to bother him. It also made her happy that he was one of the only people who was particularly friendly with Aya.

After a couple days he "died" so they got to spend more time together. She was really afraid that he was going to be severely burned and his relative safety in the shower was such a relief. Go, Mysterion. Protect your city. Children shouldn't have to be at physical risk but she seriously trusts him to do that shit if he's so confident with that rifle, he's better at it than the likes of Levi.

WHAT ELSE WAS I SUPPOSED TO EXPECT WITH THAT USERNAME... Sob I might tack on another reply "she takes a photo of him from a distance"

This was still really fun CR though! I would watch an entire movie about Koizumi-Otori business ventures God help me.

Oz! Oz was someone else who was really open about showing friendship and affection early on, so she really did appreciate that! It was a little different from Mahiru because Oz was so much younger than her, but she thought he was pretty adorable and would have liked to get to know him better for sure. Alas that she died pretty quickly and ended up in the graveyard and Oz persisted almost until the end...

But she really did remember his kindness to her even at the end of the trial, and honestly, in light of that, his attempt to turn things around on that last day really shouldn't have been a surprise at all. What was a surprise was his role as the buddy cop and to actually be in a position where he could get everyone to go along with his plan. She was really genuinely touched by this! She'd spent a lot of time in the graveyard and so many people came in really upset and hostile to the VIPs. And just watching the trials from the bunker, she could see that practically everyone was getting hysterical and completely forgetting that the point wasn't to murder everyone; it was to try and break out of this stupid game that someone had trapped them in.

Oz earned a lot of respect from her for being one of the only ones to keep a level head in the face of all this.

........Except that his plan was doomed to failure and getting rid of the VIPs that day probably would have been the better thing to do whoops. But he couldn't really have... known so besides sighing about it a little, she won't like scold him about it or anything. What he tried to was really amazing and in another situation, it would have worked, and he would have been the best of them all.

Sooo before the trial, she hadn't ever really talked to Clash! All she really knew was that Clash was Ibuki's good friend and she thought it was nice that the two of them were getting along so well even in a place like this. Then Clash started going on about how it was a 'betrayal' to say that Missile was a VIP and honestly for a while there she was just completely stymied at how anybody could think that. She still doesn't really understand where that came from; to be blunt, she kind of thought Clash was a little dim after that. It was pretty obvious to everyone that either Missile was lying or she was, so she had to say it was Missile if she wanted to defend herself.

Buuuut anyway she didn't think much about Clash for a while! She wasn't really relevant again until the rogue bomber business and then Edea was just completely agape about it all. The thought was unimaginable; for Clash to be openly bragging about how she had murdered people and how it was the 'role' for her, there was a point where she really would have liked to see Peko or Sheba smack her in the face.

After a little bit of cooldown, though, she realized... that it was possible that there was more to the story. There was more to the VIPs, after all, so... it was perfectly possible that there was more to the rogue bomber. She didn't understand why Clash had revealed herself this way, but she could at least give her the benefit of the doubt for the moment.

Then Maya died and her negative thoughts about Clash kind of returned until the trial... when it all was explained.

She really feels much the same way as Ciel - to try to get everyone to hate her enough so they wouldn't feel bad about killing her... that was a really inherently selfless thing to do! It was misguided because well Maya got killed in the meantime, but when the plan is 'make everyone hate me so I can be killed', you can't really help but feel a little sorry for the planner. Her anger really turned towards the people running this game (again), and she felt a lot of pity for Clash's situation. It was a lot worse for Clash - she was in it alone, and she didn't have anyone else to support her, and she didn't even know the deaths were fake! The decision she made was really incredible.

She still doesn't know Clash very well, but her opinion of her definitely shot up. It's a little too late now, but she hopes at least that Clash will leave knowing that she tried to do something really good.

lol

....... lmao everything is accurate except for the very last statement. if there was ever a villager that deserved to die--!! but yeah, day 2 was kinda crazy but then again a lot of days were.

... yeah K's time was pretty limited. to be completely honest Aya did feel pre bad about Kyouya dying but then rationalized that since he was no-role and a single it was probably for the best and then went about things relatively guilt-free like an asshole.

that's hilarious though, I was not expecting her to survive until endgame really but she was kinda banking on her paper being bullshit/even helpful enough for VIP to ignore it too.

psst

murdermom!

kinda vanished because of midterms whelp... but I'll throw something up! He has very shounen ideals despite being from sci-fi/horror, just. "Warning" in advance...

AYA SHIMEIMARU, the one unilaterally good thing that happened to Mahiru Koizumi in this entire game. Mahiru's early life is just so freaking lonely. Mrs. Koizumi was the photography inspiration but is overseas all the freaking time, leaving little Mahiru alone with her ailing unemployed dad. Even though she got seriously into photography by middle school, she was low on the social ladder because the local Kuzuryuu girl took it upon herself to make Mahiru's life a living hell. Mahiru never had a true peer in photography. But enough of all that sad stuff! High school is a time to make friends, right? Like dear sweet precious Hiyoko with her soapies... of course, in Dreamland Mahiru was separated from Hiyoko.

Aya just flew into her life head first and stole her heart. She's a good photographer and didn't dismiss Mahiru's work as boring or her aesthetic as "commoner not yakuza". Furthermore Aya was happy to hang out with her even in more casual contexts. On a superficial level Mahiru enjoyed her crow cosplayer antics.

She found Aya's geta particularly adorable. Fun fact: Hiyoko also wears geta, thanks to her upbringing as a hypertraditional nihon buyo artist. Considering that Mahiru is able to help Hiyoko tie her obi, I like to think that Mrs. Koizumi was around for some traditional type celebrations back in Mahiru's early years, such as her first shichi-go-san; Mahiru also demonstrates a general appreciation for traditional toys like bamboo copter. So though Mahiru is fairly modern in her day-to-day life and her types of anxieties, she likes traditional things. This also ties into her eventual suspectibility to soapies.

Anyway, Mahiru saw how tired Aya was after writing forty copies of the newspaper but everyone kept giving Aya crap for her journalism that was admittedly rather irresponsible. At the same time there were so many people that gave Mahiru props for her own pictures, which was new for her because like I said, she's not used to people thinking her cute smile photography is cool, and she felt rather helpless in the space of the game (hence her vulnerability to the buddy cops' reckless request). So she resolved to offer her assistance and Aya accepted her which made Mahiru very happy. They just got to have fun formatting this stuff and Mahiru felt like she was helping Aya and incorporating her own work into a more meaningful, proliferated context.

Mahiru has codependent tendencies given her desperation for attention and approval, but her agreement with Aya on basically everything comes from a fairly healthy place. Mahiru believes that murder is inherently wrong even as revenge, and only supports the death penalty in the context of mutual killing games because the innocent majority needs to survive. Aya managed to make neutrality look affable instead of apathetic. Inno or mafia, everyone gets an obituary. Mahiru wanted to be devoted to the overarching mystery, not the murders.

Mahiru's relationships with her classmates were strained by the circumstances; they wanted to function as a group that would attack others, innocent or not, to protect themselves (in other contexts I describe this pattern of behavior as "yakuza"). But Aya never wanted Mahiru to go into that emotional place for her. She just wanted her copies and her curry. This is why Mahiru's favorite place in the world to be was "alone with Aya". Without being completely removed from the unfortunate situation, Mahiru could be in a place with someone who valued her services as much as her self. I hesitate to label Aya's function in this regard as a "best friend"; she was more like a partner to Mahiru, because their relationship would typically be productive instead of recreational even outside of photography work.

Once Mahiru "died", she missed Aya the most. She was just so comfortable with her and would have proposed soapies even "while they were both alive" if there had been a good reason back then. Absolutely nobody else in the bunker could provide her that kind of emotional solace except arguably Sakaki later on. However, it became obvious that Aya was inno and Mahiru was hella relieved even though she didn't actually spill any government secrets like she did with Ibuki. Furthermore Aya wasn't going to go full yan stan as Mahiru feared Hiyoko might. I'm not gonna lie Mahiru had a brief yan moment herself when she was disappointed that Maya died and didn't bring Aya with her. Overall though Aya surviving and not getting hurt just made Mahiru so happy, like she said.

Seeing Aya again was the greatest though literally the best thing that ever happened to Mahiru in her whole entire life. Better than Mom coming home for New Year's. Way better than her birthday. (Mahiru wants people to throw a surprise birthday party for her but they never have.) Aya was happy too and she got her Kodak moment and Mahiru's so happy. In her penultimate social link she just hands her camera to the protagonist like "Yo. I keep taking all these pictures of other people but I don't have any of me. I want there to be one of me. Take a picture with my camera." So then Aya came up with basically the same idea on her own and she's just so so so happy that Aya anticipated this impulse, that they could communicate without speaking.

Dangan Ronpa characters are just so lonely that in the space of a couple days of hardcore friendship they'll be pretty ready to spend their lives together if the circumstances allow. Mahiru hasn't really thought much about whether Aya is her friend or her coworker or (god forbid, given her severe internalized homophobia) a potential girlfriend, because as it is, the circumstances don't allow, barring a "long-term photojournalism assignment in Gensokyo" PSL.

Mmm whatcha saaaay

hello non-robot uncle

SUPER GREAT

Tamaki is scared they're not friends anymore, but can't bring himself to ask. Because if the answer is "no obviously we're not friends" then what is there to even be said to that? He doesn't deserve to fight to get that friendship back after the whole murder and immediate subsequent night betrayal of the exactly one thing Kyouya requested. And if the answer is "yes of course we're still friends" then are they really still friends or does Kyouya just want to pretend like he did when they first met, in which case he still doesn't have any right to try and fix it. And even if the answer is "don't be stupid, Tamaki" then all that means is Kyouya is lying to himself about how much they aren't friends anymore, oh noooo.

Whiiich is all very melodramatic and blown out of proportion, but I think Tamaki actually does have a fairly reasonable grasp on the overall situation, or would if he could calm the hell down about it. He understands the friendship sins he has committed in addition to his murder sins, and likewise he understands that Kyouya is trying to be reasonable about all of his pain and anger. But he feels so guilty about the whole thing that it clouds his judgment, and the real problem, the thing that makes all of this so hard for him to bounce back from, is that the question he's asking himself isn't "how do I make this better" but "should I try to make this better?" It's like the end of the anime where he's suddenly convinced that the solution to everyone's problems is for him to back off and leave them alone. Maybe Kyouya would be better off without him. (He's going through some similar doubts with Kaoru, too, they're just lurking deeper under the surface since Kaoru's injury gives him something more immediate and physical to be concerned about).

So yeah, I. I don't even know. I think they just need to fight it out. It's like the Sports Day arc except with murder instead of Sports Day.

PROBABLY WON'T BE HELLA TL;DR but not bc Dipper doesn't have a lot of feelings for everyone but it's because I have a hard time writing these things /falls to knees

SO APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE.....

BUDDY... IN UNRESOLVED RESENTMENT
