normally my thoughts about hitori's career are just :) math quail :) because math is cool and i love that hitori is so smart. But I just made myself very sad about it because...

Hitori is FAMOUS as a mathematician, under *Nanaki's* name. You could, in universe, google Kazuaki Nanaki and find a list of HITORI'S achievements.

No one cared when "Nanaki" changed his major, no one thought it strange how quickly he was able to make a name for himself in a new field, as though he had been studying it all his life.

Hitori didn't even have to keep a low profile to hide his identity. Kazuaki all but faded from existence the second Hitori let go of his wing and took his name.

"Kazuaki Nanaki" would not be a hard name to look up. But nowhere on that extensive list of awards would be a simple school-wide poetry contest. Why would it be? But that's the only achievement the real Kazuaki had to his name

The death of Subject 00's relative has been confirmed.

His remains are stored in Area D3, Section 1.

They are boxed and processed.

Also on the topic of Hiyoko, I think her speech to Ryouta at the end of his route is probably the most important moment when it comes to analyzing her. The "that's what life IS" moment genuinely says so much about her outlook and how she managed to cope so well after the hatoful house incident, even though we basically never address its aftermath from her perspective

I really adore the more contemplative side of Hiyoko that's brought out in Nageki's route. She's still cracking jokes and looking on the bright side, but she slows down a little and is more than happy to talk about books and have philosophy debates about time travel (the Christmas Carol scene is one of my favorite moments in the otome routes)

This side of her also tends to appear during the more grounded otome endings in general (Ryouta and Sakuya's in particular), but for Nageki she can tell pretty much from minute one that Something is up and puts in a lot of effort to meet him where he's at while also challenging him to open up more

It reminds me a lot of her narration in the flashback cutaways pre-death in bbl. Hiyoko is such a bright positive force (80% of which is just the way she is but I feel like it's at least 20% a coping mechanism), so it's always really interesting to see when she let's herself seriously reflect and consider a situation

I think it's really based that The House in Fata Morgana

- does not introduce the main character for several hours of the VN. Or tell you there even is a main character.

- refuses to tell you he's the main character when he does finally show up

- by the time you understand who the main characters are, it's the end of the story. SO YOU THINK. until you look at the % completed and realize. Oh no. This is the beginning of the story

- gaslights you several times into thinking the VN is about to be over before revealing NO BITCH THERE'S SO MUCH MORE

- gaslights you about other stuff too. Like. A lot of other stuff. It leads you on and encourages you to make assumptions before being like "oh you know how you filled in the blanks of this tidbit based on what we've already told you and what you know from other stories? You didn't fill in shit pal, those blanks are actually massive canyons and we're about to show you what's living down there"

- gives the slow reveal that the ethereally beautiful broody white haired anime boy "beauty and the beast" guy is just the most awkward autistic dude you've ever seen. Yeah he seems ethereal and mysterious but that's just because he's got a flat affect and doesn't mask. The guy genuinely doesn't know what he's doing most of the time he's just winging it

You use "arospec people can still date and feel romantic attraction " as an excuse to ship cannon aro characters , I use it as justification to headcannon characters who canonically feel romantic attraction as arospec , we are not the same
