The Line Between Flynn Being A Functioning If Traumatized Human Being And A Wreck Is Isabeau. Just Isabeau.

The line between Flynn being a functioning if traumatized human being and a wreck is Isabeau. Just Isabeau. Just her. Hometown destroyed childhood friend dead new friends dead. Just Isabeau!

Amabie's Bromide Reactions

Amabie's sidequest requires you to give her photograph to a student; if you don't go back to the school before things go to hell, the only one who can accept it is the guy who hangs around the dorm roof. That happened to me, so I figured I'd record the other students for posterity (this was a Canon of Creation playthrough, so I don't know if you can give it to Yoko).

Miyazu: Huh? A present? But why me...? [...] O-Oh, wow...! This is so cute! [...] That gleam in her eyes is a really nice touch! And her hair is so sleek... [...] (voice line gasps) Huh? It's some kind of good-luck charm for staying healthy? [...] That's... why you gave it to me...? [...] I'm... I'm glad. Really, really glad. I promise I'll treasure it.

Tao: Huh? Is this for me? [...] Pfft! Hahahaha! [...] Oh, sorry, sorry! I'm not making fun of it! I just didn't expect this kinda thing from you, that's all... [...] You've got some interesting tastes, you know that...? Maybe I'll stick this in my planner. [...] (voice line of "Thank you.") Heehee... Thanks!

Ichiro: For real? I can have this? Nice! [...] (voice line of "Seriously?") ...Wait, what even is this? Some kinda... froggy mascot? [...] Uh... Why'd you give this to me? [...] Don't tell me... you just wanted a reason for us to talk? [...] (voice line "Hey, come on.") Aw, c'mon, man! You don't need to be all indirect about it! We're friends! We can talk whenever you want! [...] Naw, but I get it. You've got all the popular kids in your class, right? Hard to just walk up and start talkin'. [...] (voice line "Hey.") But you can talk to me any time, y'know? I don't need any presents or whatever. [...] ...Anyhow, now that I look at this froggy thing... It's actually kinda cool. Got a real unique style to it. [...] (voice line "Thanks a bunch.") I bet I could find a way to work this into a video... Hell yeah. Thanks, man!

Yuzuru: ...Uh... sorry, but what IS this? Some character from TV or something? I don't really follow what's popular these days... [...] Oh, it's a spirit that brings good luck? And you want me to have this? [...] Well, in that case, thanks. I'll gladly take it. [...] It's kind of like this bracelet I wear, huh? That's a good luck charm too. [...] Feels like I've only ever wished for one thing. And now, I'll have your charm on my side for a little extra luck. [...] Haha, who knows? Maybe your spirit will grant that wish of mine.

I like the little bit of characterization from everyone. I wound up giving it to Miyazu because she liked the picture even before she knew it was a good luck charm. I don't recall Yuzuru ever mentioning the bracelet anywhere else. Ichiro's so starved for attention that he doesn't see the significance, and Tao is grateful for a gift from a friend without really looking at it. And we get a little bit of how V-kun is seen; he's serious enough that Tao doesn't think Amabie fits his image.

Just realized Strohl is a foil to Louis. Both are clemar who are not discriminatory towards other tribes, which is rare for the most numerous tribe. That's about it for their similarities. Louis is might makes right, Strohl is noblesse oblige. Louis has a nobody background risen to king candidate, Strohl is a fallen noble. Louis is calculating, Strohl is hot-headed. Louis is the villain, Strohl is our staunchest ally.

...This is going to be a thing for months isn't it?

I really want to talk about something in metaphor but I can't because it's spoiler and it's honestly better to go through it yourself

I like Neuras. New best girl.
