sorry I went to work ahsjah
so one of them came is a regular in the salon I work at
anyways so she has this son of hers who is dating another girl at the church they go to and so serious abt their relationship apparently they made this virginity pack or whatever shit to make sure they won’t be sleeping with eachother till marriage
so in the last few weeks the woman was super suspicious about her son bc he kept asking for money and snooping around and shit despite the family being damn wealthy so she got worried he might be doing drugs and started searching up
what she finds out? All that money has been going to BABY PRODUCTS from toys to cribs to even an apartment complex in the city all top quality shit
so obviously she confronted the gf abt it who admitted being 3 months pregnant & the guy being the father
BUT listen to this when she asked her son abt it he admitted taking the money to take care of the future baby and his gf but also said he did NOT broke his pledge meaning the baby isn’t his
DUN DUN DUN
I AM SHOOKETH.. ONE OF THEM IS LYING FRFRFRFRR

I'm devastated that It Lives Within has come to an end, but I'm hella nosy about the other routes so I keep checking the tag religiously!!!
I personally did the blood route; Rowan couldn't leave her handsome golden retriever professor man behind I'm sorry Loha lmao. But I saw the shadow route with Rowan returning to the power and I cried. Ya'll are so brave for that, the true heroes 🙌. But the music and everything... it was just breathtaking. The philosophy student in me (particularly the ethics and eschatology part) was satiated. My heart still aches and that's not even the route I chose!!!
Lastly, DEVON x NOAH... MY HEART. And I'd be amiss not to mention that sensual scene with Abel in his office (I'm still blushing 24 hrs later not gonna lie).
The finale was perfect and I'm not gonna lie I miss ILW already. 👍

*holds cat out almost at arm’s length* Umm you sure he’s not an angry cat? A lot of cats aren’t really that fond of me for some reason. Cassie’s cat likes me at least, so that’s a good thing.
Ummmm thanks? I appreciate the gesture but ummm….But I’m 99% sure that’s Spidey in your profile picture.
Oh wait you’re referring to—oh. 
That joke’s not gonna go away any time soon, huh.

Hello! I'm the not-word-good anon from earlier who should've gone to sleep before sending that ask XDThing is, I don't think Kaito tried to hurt anybody but one person. First of all, the danger of the artifact seems (from how I understood it) to come from the accumulated magic being dangerous specifically to the non-magical Akiho, not that it's inherently designed to harm. It's just a side-effect. (1/5)
Awwww hello anon, thank you for replying to me again!!
First of all I want to apologize for the delay (again) of my reply, truth to be told I had started replying to you already yesterday......and then....due to a mistake, I ended up losing everything I had written, and it was a long ass reply (as probably this one will be, let's see if I have the patience to re-write all of that 😂). Unfortunately the auto-save wasn't turned on so here I am, typing everything once again from scratch!
I also want to thank you for your nice words (about 'what I do', I just really try my best to spread my love for this series) and I'm really glad to know that my posts have encouraged you to come out of your silence and theorize about the story!! I appreciate a lot the enthusiasm and passion that I can feel from your words, so will you allow me to reply even if we might not agree on all aspects? Is that okay? (Also, I hope I received all the intended asks because there are some numbers missing, hahah)
Let's start from the beginning, Akiho's artifact.
I think we have a differing idea of how the spell that the Association and the Squids have imposed on Akiho works. Maybe it's also due to the official ENG translation, I have checked that part and that chapter/scene in particular was translated with lots of inaccuracies, so maybe that's why. If you can, I suggest you to look for Impatient Scans' translation of chapter 35 (where we find out about the ritual through Sakura's experience), you can still find it on sites like Manganelo. Impatient Scans always did such a perfect job with their translations (see, it's not that I'm against any translation that is not mine: they really did a wonderful job, sticking to the original text and meaning as much as possible, and it's really telling that a fan scanlation did a better job than the official one but was forced to interrupt due to copyright reasons) so I totally recommend reading their version till the last chapter they released.
Back to us, and the artifact.
Basically, the spell they decided to use on Akiho in that ritual is first of all considered a taboo spell, for evident moral reasons, but not only: its purpose is to turn a human being into a magical artifact. And it's so taboo that it ends up being dangerous even for the casters: we find out later, in fact, that both the Association and the Squids had some members losing forever the ability to perform certain magics as a consequence of having participated to that cursed ritual.
The purpose of the artifact is indeed inherently harmful for the bearer, because its goal is to hoard and inscribe on the body of the bearer as many magic spells (obtained from magic books) as possible. And it's specifically said by Kaito that one of the effects of this spell is to crush the soul of the bearer.
You have to imagine the body of the bearer as a container with a small balloon inside, representing the person's soul: what happens if you keep stuffing that space with more and more things, till you reach the limit?
At one point, the balloon (= the soul) will break. Poof. Disintegrate.
That's what got Kaito so on edge and so desperate for this whole time. Because that's a kind of death, per se. A body without a soul is like a walking corpse. Akiho wouldn't have been Akiho anymore.
And the spell is specifically designed to obtain that effect because a magic artifact is so much easier to control if the human hosting it doesn't have a soul, a conscience.
So it's apparent that, regardless of the bearer having magic or not, the artifact would've obtained that effect anyway. Even if it was passed on Sakura after a switch.
And Kaito knew of this, that's why I don't agree on the fact that he would've passed it to Sakura nonchalantly.
Indeed, Kaito turned out to act precisely as you said: he attracted all the distrust and rage on him, but he didn't care, as long as he could bring to completion the only thing he genuinely ever wanted in his life - to keep Akiho safe and happy, without harming anyone in the process. Kaito unfortunately was "stinking" of self-immolating tendencies since long time, particularly for the past he had. Even just seeing how he used time magic without any regard for his life was already an indication that he didn't intend to get out of this alive.
My comments on your predictions:
1) It's true that Nadeshiko's watch disappeared after the time rewind, so we don't know exactly where it ended up to, but as the Time Card was created with that appearance, it probably went inside that Card.
2) About Rika meeting Akiho, please keep in consideration that the JP text (differently from the ENG) only said that memories were rewritten by Kaito, not the actual facts or reality.
Surely, discrepancies changed some things as to accomodate Akiho into the Kinomoto's household, but from how I interpreted things, this is just a giant hallucination everyone is under, for the effect of the forbidden spell. So it's entirely possible that things up to the point of the enforcement of the spell STILL happened exactly as they happened, but after the spell was activated, everyone's memories (and certain things like the costumes, roles etc) were changed to accomodate for the outcome Sakura and Kaito wished for (the change of the roles in the play, and Akiho being born as Sakura's sister). Because, as I've seen someone pointing out in the fandom, if the entire fabric of reality was rewritten, the artifact itself wouldn't even exist to begin with. Instead, we sadly know that Kaito had to take it into himself, with all the crushing spells (another indication that the artifact is harmful for whoever takes it in: Momo told Kaito that it would be harmful for him precisely in this chapter).
This also makes things relatively "easier" if the kids want to reject this situation/break this spell and go back to normal. One thing is retrieving their true memories, another is to mess with reality itself.
Also your point 4), Lilie's ring should be with Momo right now. We have seen Akiho's mother placing it on Momo's ear in the flashback, and it's represented by Momo's crown (which she didn't have before receiving that ring from her) in her true form.
Your point 5) is actually very interesting: while I do think that the dragon might be a representation of the seal imposed on Kaito, that same dragon was also depicted on the cover of the book where supposedly the Squids and Association took the ritual to turn Akiho into an artifact from. So yeah, we might have more surprises from here on out!
