I think about the hc that Paranormal Investigator being Paranormal Researcher's chairman, but then I also remember that this implies that Midsummer Misty Mountains happens in the Truth and Inference universe

After the events of Voyage of Oceanus, the Photojournalist, Alice, approaches Mr. Inference regarding the disappearance of one of her childhood friends- August

Inference eventually finds out that this August was a part of the Paranormal Investigator's "Ghost Club," but mysteriously disappeared during an outing. Luca seems uncomfortable about the subject, and is even a bit hostile towards Alice, but eventually opens up to the idea of trying to find August again

Maybe they do get to enter the mountains and meet August, but he doesnt remember them. Bai Ze and Master Yin Yang are put off by the new outsiders, but figures out that they could possibly change the loop into their favor. When Bai Ze learns of their intention to bring August back with them, she's a bit heartbroken knowing that she'll truly never see August again, but decides that its better to let him go

Bai Ze gets Alice on her side, while Luca is on Master Yin Yang's due to his manipulations, and based on which side Mr. Inference favors, theres a different ending. But both end with one side winning and Mr. Inference's group being kicked out, WITHOUT August.

But the true ending lies in interacting with Censer. Censer, whose memories are retained due to the cycle breaking, sticks to August and tries to push the others away from him. It could be because of fear of forgetting again, or maybe learning of the possibility that August could leave the mountains now that Inference, Luca, and Alice are here...

Whatever reason it is, he's the reason why August isnt able to leave the mountains. Now that he's aware of Master Yin Yang's lies, he's not fond of either side. Behind the scenes he works on building up a good relationship with August to get back at the two, only for it to backfire because FUCKKKKKK i care for him now.

Mr. Inference has to beat Censer to it, getting closer to August and learning to care for him as well through Luca's stories and Alice's photos.

Can you guys tell ive been brainrotting about this

hawo ,🫶 can I ask what are your thoughts regarding bai ze x august 🫣

They are so doomed yuri

YOU KNOW HOW MY JAW DROPPED WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A DELETED ENGING. "Finally inserted a picture of Bai Ze's smile." THATS CRAZYYY

I am so sad. That I just got into idv this year. THIS YEAR. THATS CRAZY. IT FEELS LIKE IVE BEEN IN THE TRENCHES FOR 3 YEARS BUT NO. I ONLY GOT INTO IT 2 MONTHS AGO. Paranormal Researcher Lucky cosmetic.........i couldve had it all..

There's SOMETHING about August going through the loop, over and over again, meeting Bai Ze and falling in love with her in each one. But you know what's even better. Bai Ze slowly falling for August after how many loops. Doesnt even realize that she's looking forward to meeting her again

AUGUST FELL FIRST BUT BAI ZE FELL HARDER DO YOU SEE THE VISION....

I have this idea of Bai Ze who does her best to not stray from her usual routine in each loop because the first time she did, August got put into danger MUCH MUCH earlier

AUGHGUHUGHG I also have this idea for a loop where Master Yin Yang gets to August's head a little and actually gets him to believe that Bai Ze's the bad guy. Eventually he does find out that Master Yin Yang's fucking with him and switches factions

But the lies that Master Yin Yang planted into August's head have already begun to sprout, and it puts a strain on August and Bai Ze's relationship. August doesn't trust her that much, but to be fair she doesnt trust anyone after Master Yin Yang

AUGHGUHGHH Bai Ze wanting to get this loop done and over with and get back to the August who looked at her fondly and not this August who doesnt even want to look her in the eye!!!

I hate doomed yuri
