#because arguably choosing nao in the second trial was the most emotional choice and it's obviously not the best one

[gingus-doon]

so i guess...... the keiji contract decision is logic v. emotion as well....?

i literally cannot stop thinking about this choice.

so, there's three possibilities of what could happen to keiji– he could die either way, live either way, or midori could actually be saying the truth and one choice will kill him while the other will save him.

the most boring outcome to me is the first. imagine sara deciding to bear the consequences of signing the contract and keiji still dies 😶😶 assuming the contract is a bad thing, in the first place. though that's what it's framed as, we can't really be sure. the only guess i have as to what it'll do is kill the dolls, but i think it's more likely that it'll be something unprecedented. also, i'd just be really upset if keiji died here. i still want to see him grow !!

if one choice kills him and one doesn't, i still wonder what the consequences will be of us saving him. it'd really suck to have to make that choice blind but it's very interesting–

the one possibility i'm PARTICULARLY interested in, though, is if he doesn't die either way. it would make the cliffhanger a little disingenuous, sure, but it'd be cool if we as sara had to face the consequences of choosing to let keiji die, then having him be alive regardless and know of our decision. imagine if whether or not u chose to save him or not had a bearing on how his character would develop for the rest of the game... omg.

and that last one is kinda where i'd think the logic v. emotion theme would tie in more heavily, if it did. because if this decision counted in terms of whether you're going on an emotional route or a logical one, then signing the contract to save keiji would be the "good" choice, right? but it seems like such a bad decision to make when you have absolutely no idea of the repercussions of that choice.

idk man. i just think it'd be REALLY cool if our choice had an effect on his character in that way wjdhsj, especially since keiji's been somewhat influenced by sara thus far. and since we've had an impact on people's characters thru our decisions with say, the shin lives route, where we make him a vengeful regretful and vaguely logical version of himself that is significantly skewed from his typical nature.

but yeah idk :'D i'm so excited for 3-1b

#your turn to die #keiji shinogi #yttd keiji #yttd spoilers #kgs keiji #kimi ga shine #there's also the possibility that the emotion route isn't solely good and the logic route isn't solely bad? #like a mix of the two being best? #so therefore this could be a decision we're meant to be logical on? #but yeah i really don't know #i don't think that's it #man i just be talking about shinogi keiji @ 5 am #I SWEAR IF HE DIES. #not to be dramatic but i will crumble into fine dust and be whisked away with a nightly wind #my particles will land in a pond alongside autumn's fallen leaves and i will dissolve #i suppose the possibility of keiji dying either way could be interesting if it bore a significant emotional impact on the group #as a result of the consequences or something... #but as expressed earlier i really really really really really really do not want keiji to die #hmmm actually. logic and emotion in tandem could be a thing in yttd #because arguably choosing nao in the second trial was the most emotional choice and it's obviously not the best one #so... in moderation..? #idek :l #i might sound really dumb rn akhdksnd just hoping I Do Not
