#and undermining kae.de's inherent leadership abilities because he knows it's dangerous for /all/ of them

[takinghisbow]

forever obsessed with kok.ichi going from "you can't pressure ppl to keep trying to 'escape,' kae.de" to "omg you guys were so mean to ka.ede yesterday" (when he literally started it) to "don't you remember what happened yesterday, ka.ede?"

#something something coming across as cHaOTic when he's actually manipulating everyone #and undermining kae.de's inherent leadership abilities because he knows it's dangerous for /all/ of them #like he's so quick to undermine her when she starts suggesting something he disagrees with #but also i firmly believe he respects her #(he warns her even more bluntly than he warns shu.ichi abt what's going on) #(and in the same way the her death propels shu.ichi i think it also propels kok.ichi) #(if they're all working together then the mastermind will just break the rules to kill them) #(they need antagonism. they need a villain. he becomes it) #this became a meta post whoops #('but there's no proof kok.ichi knew she was framed' literally the whole trial i was like 'this is so dumb that literally wouldn't work') #(i dismissed it as 'eh it's just a game' and was so PISSED with myself when shu.ichi found the ball fkdsjfkhfdjksal) #(in other words i honestly think it should've been blatantly obvious to all of them but that's a whole other thing) #[ long tags ] #edit: forgot to mention that him telling kae.de to stop the escape attempts was actually just the right thing to do lmao #˖ ✧ ends / means » ( headcanon ) #—— ✧ ooc »
