[grabbing a stranger by the shoulders and digging my nails into their skin with a psychotic look on my face] LISTEN YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THEYRE MEANT TO BE. BUT THEY ARENT. THEIR REGRETS EAT THEM ALIVE FROM THE INSIDE LIKE ACID MELTING OFF THEIR FLESH THOUGH SOMETIMES THEY FEEL LIKE THEY WOULD RATHER HAVE THE ACID THAN THEIR FEELINGS. THEY ARE BEST FRIENDS. THEY ARE THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENED TO EACH OTHER. THEY ARE NOT PLATONIC. THEY ARE NOT ROMANTIC. THEY ARE NOT SEXUAL. THEY ARE NOT ADVERSARIOUS. THEY ARE SOMETHING NO ONE CAN EVER COMPREHEND BUT THEM. THEY CUT THE RED STRING CONNECTING THEM BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE WITH EACH OTHER BY CHOICE, NOT BY A DECISION MADE FOR THEM. THEY WILL DIE TRAGICALLY YOUNG. THEY WILL NEVER DIE. THEY WILL BE REBORN AS CHILDHOOD FRIENDS. THEY WILL BE REBORN AS STRANGERS SEEING EACH OTHER ON THE BUS AND MAKING EYE CONTACT FOR 5 SECONDS AND WONDERING WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE IF ONE OF THEM WALKED UP TO EACH OTHER AND STRUCK UP A CONVERSATION. THEY WILL BE REBORN AS PARALLEL LINES, NEVER INTERSECTING BUT EXTENDING NEXT TO EACH OTHER ENDLESSLY, DESPERATELY HOPING TO DEFY SCIENCE AND CONNECT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY. THEY WILL BE REBORN AS A CROW AND A DOVE. THEY DONT KNOW A SINGLE THING ABOUT EACH OTHER. THEY CAN SEE INTO EACH OTHERS SOUL. THEYRE HEARTLESS AND THEYRE SO FULL OF LOVE. THEY ARE CLINICALLY INSANE AND A FIGMENT OF EACH OTHERS IMAGINATION.
Akiren: That was so hot, Akechi.
Akechi: I literally called the person who just flirted with you a degenerate dog and told them I hope they get dragged through the streets.
Akiren: I'm so in love with you.
cant stop thinking about how akechi’s confidant is so fucking funny this guy literally can’t shut up about “oohhhh akira you’re so hot and cool and funny and smart and sexy and amazing and badass and tall and successful oooohhh i wanna ~~kiss~~ kill you so bad” … like I genuinely thought yall were joking until I got to that part of the game and had to take a break I was laughing so hard 😭
I KNOW RIGHT I KNOW RIGHT
the "honey im home" "youre back awfully late" scene sold it for me like i was staring at the screen like huh. am i reading this right. are they actually doing this
Getting emotional over the "To paraphrase Hegel, advancement cannot occur without both thesis and antithesis" line from Akechi BECAUSE
"Truth is found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis, but in an emergent synthesis which reconciles the two"
So obviously, Akechi = Thesis, Akira = Antithesis and with their combined justices the Truth (Synthesis) can be found
They're parallels, different sides of the same coin and can't exist without the other or else True Justice would be a lie without the other to challenge their beliefs
YES I KNOW THIS IS VERY OBVIOUS ITS 1 AM HERE AND IM VERY GAY
Whenever I see the rare person try to say Akechi is straight and when Akechi loses a poll re: being the gayest character anywhere, this tiktok replays in my head.
