OOOugh long one time. Ichi7 spoilers of course
Ichikas conclusion that she won't work under another agency as ichi, was something I had a feeling she would do, but it's a decision that took allot of time and thought and lead to a point where apparently only Ichika is seemingly happy about it (hence her card being named "A Choice With No Regrets") I really like how talking about why Leo/need is more important to her makes her expression more resolved and happy
She means it, the band is important to her. Making vocaloid songs has been fulfilling to her, but the joy and experience is not of more value than giving her all for this stupid band. Making that clear to herself made the decision easier
fucked up is Ichika feeling like she was greedy when she focused on her personal activities
It's like partially she is correct about that. She kanademaxxed in the last couple of weeks and it worried everyone. But Ichika had a fun time and drew many great experiences (that also helped leonii!), setting that aside still sucks. Heck the offer was tempting because it would have allowed Ichika to more easily manage the workload of her vocaloP activities, which would have maybe allowed her to work on both leoniis and personal music with more ease. Not accepting forces her to deprioritize vocaloid music, relegating it as a simple hobby and painting her previous efforts as an indulgence. If I may, in PH Ichika deemed her desire to make startrail "less depressing" as her being unwilling to accept Sakis feelings, leading to her decision to take the backseat in the songwriting. Idk I like the Ichika being happy to lead a less fulfilling live for the sake of the others. Do we all recall that time Ichika told Shiho that her dream is to make Shihos dream come true which Shiho hated because to her it meant she's forcing Ichika into this? Yeah...
Nother thing that I find fucked in the chapter
TF???? HELLOO????? HAIII????? WHAT DO YOU MEAN???????
Like clearly that means she's upset about the decision, but having the support of the others (specifically Rin and Len) makes it easier for her. BUT STILL???? STABBING ME??? FOR NO REASON???? Likeee I get a weird vibe that this could be a callback to her time in the divorce, but that's such a stretch. I think I need 5 weeks stewing in the pot to get a proper answer
Talking about her stupid gay Mikusong "Treasure Box" now
Girl when I get you.... It's very clearly a representation of her fun happy enjoy time as a vocaloP
She loves her gay little box and now it's shut and gone forever (babaii)
The song being about a box from which new and exciting things spring fourth makes the weary boy in me tremble cuz I know a box that does that but evily. But I no longer believe in it being pandoras box. It's simply a representation of Ichikas personal little dream.
represent the others feelings about Ichika shutting that part of her off. Rin is concerned and fixated on the box, she's not sure on what to do. Len is more trusting, resting close to the box, but still concerned and may I say a bit protective? Shiho is having a crisis of faith :D! Guess who struggles to stick to her faith again (awesomesauce) Her pose is more selfconscious. The composition puts her in the dark and the box in the light, oooooooohhhhhhh this is so evil we are in evilville (finalleygh)
I think she means leonii with that, that's the most important thing to her. Her time "indulging" made it clear to her
but I don't think she's fully convinced
Now that that's been done: Ichi7 and Saki7 both are events that feature a leonii member fully realizing that they have a conviction that interfere with leoniis goals, therefore they give up on them for the sake of staying together. That's the last one of that type that we can have. Honamis goal is to support everyone and Shihos goal is leoniis goal. Which sucks ass because Shiho might genuinely think leonii is doing more harm than good and what happens if Honas step ends up unsteady because of this?? Just???
She's trying so hard to brave this and believe that no one is forced into this gay codependent band ooooughhh
Basically we are sooo fucked it's finally time to doomsday prep, it's sooo over actually, genuinely just one joyous event can happen between this and our terrible deaths, I am back to it's over posting, it's so fucking over
