Love/Hate Relationship // Not accepting! (4/8)

　Love

　His true name. I can never accurately express how much I actually love his real name (translated literally as ”moonview truth”). I actually have a hard time using his alias and am always afraid to slip with people who had still not reached the end of Chapter 2 Part 2. Because I really really love his real name.

　Hate

　The implications of his chosen alias. It’s clear he didn’t pick this name at random, and it’s mortifying to think it has something to do with how he viewed the real bearer of the name and what kind of relationship (platonic or otherwise) they held. A power imbalance. His desperate need to become someone stronger could easily be enough reason to lead him to choose the name of the person who had always overpowered him in life. A sheep that became his predator. Small snipets from CH3′s demo had shown possible suggestions that there might have been something unhealthy going on there.

Love/Hate Relationship // Not accepting! (8/8)

　Love

　Allow me to take a second here to gush about my love for this character.

　It took me a bit to catch a liking on Sou because, well, I’ve never been too big in the trope of characters who sabotage for the sake of making it all difficult, or just for fun, and he was particularly pETULanT THRouGH mOST OF the game―I don’t really hate characters without trying to understand them first though, so while the process did take a little of growing through watching him closely (because ngl, I still couldn’t help but dig his presence and interactions), it wasn’t until right at the beginning of Ch2 pt2 where we were introduced with his dream, that my dislike turned into honest curiosity.

　Now, as you can see, I’m now here after having my attention STUCK on him and having probably over-analysed him since that first play. He was not the kind of character I expected and that struck me with excitement and interest.

　I love his character whole. Quite a lot. He’s full of flaws and grey areas, believes he’s in the right and does things wrong. He’s credibly human and multilayered, and while he’s in his own right to be upset and scared and desperate, he commits many mistakes in both his assumptions and ways to proceed, even though they still were very intelligently thought through. He’s so fucking intelligent but so, so biased. There was no way he’d know he was assuming things wrong unless he’d been proven first-hand that everything he was let know was a tactical manipulation.

　And then there are his (possible) mental and physical illnesses, that are not romanticized and do not excuse his actions, but are still treated with a respectful accuracy.

　I can’t begin to describe how much his character has grown on me and I honestly can’t wait to know more about his background and character in general.

　Hate

　I do not hate anything about his character (aside of his pants), but I do hate a lot of stuff about him as a person: his insistence on quickly assuming things without analyzing his proof a little (obviously a product of his bias), the credibility he gives his ABDUCTORS about survival rates measured so flimsily by a technology that could still bear flaws (although it’s clear that his paranoia has something to do there and we don’t really have know what was told or what happened), the cruel things he does out of pure pettiness and possibly to weaken an enemy that was NEVER really an enemy, his general lying against the group of people who are in the same situation as him, how he treats Kanna at first and in the Second Main Game (though that one was fairly enough an act, but it was cruel on his part), his general dismissal for other’s feelings about the things he does or says (probably avoiding guilt), among SO MANY other things.

　But again, these bad traits are what make his character so particularly grey and human and interesting. I don’t blame people for disliking him, really, specially because he never really apologizes for anything he did. But I love him as a character and I love and appreciate that he had been given real, detestable flaws and not been justified for them.
