Propaganda:
Ash -
"he just has those vibes ya know?"
Charce -
"Has a very hard time understanding the emotions of others along with his own emotions. Others claim that he acts in a very strange way before it's confirmed that most of the things others thought were weird of him were either because it had to do with biology, his special interest, or it was him acting like how he thinks normal people act when he doesn't understand the way neurotypical people act in the slightest."
Setsuna -
"recent scientific developments find that autism might just be stored in the hair."
Nicol -
"A constantly expressionless boy who does not show his feelings, Nicol is quiet and tends to be distrustful. He is fiercely protective of his sister, and though his pretty face makes him popular, he resents that it means that those outside of his friend circle only see him for his looks."
Galo -
"HIS SPECIAL INTEREST LITERALLY HELPED HIM SAVE THE EARTH FROM EXPLODING!!! HE STOPPED MID FIGHT ON TOP OF A BURNING HIGH RISE BUILDING TO SHOW A TRIO OF ARSONISTS A PROJECTOR POWER POINT PRESENTATION OF EDO PERIOD FIREFIGHTING!!!! HE COULDN'T PILOT THE ORIGINAL DESIGN OF A GIANT ROBOT BECAUSE IT DIDN'T LOOK COOL AND HE COULDN'T JIVE WITH IT! AND ON TOP OF EVERYTHING HIS REACTIONS AND MANNERISMS TO FRUSTRATING SITUATIONS (ANGRILY SHAKING HIS HAIR WITH HIS HANDS AND RUNNING OFF IN A SITUATION THAT UPSET HIM IN A MANNER AKIN TO SENSORY OVERLOAD, COMBINED WITH HIM ESCAPING TO A QUIET AND COLD PLACE WITH LITTLE TO NO OUTSIDE STIMULUS TO CHILL OUT) PLUS HIS INCREDIBLY BLUNT WAY OF THINKING AND ODD MANNER IN SOCIAL SITUATIONS!!!!! THIS IS PEAK AUTISM! THE AUTISTIC ANIME BOY WITH A BURNING SOUL!"
Yuuji -
"The entire manga is about the mc moving to a new school and getting helped out by Yugami and then being like 'hey who is that guy' and all her classmates are like 'oh that's Yugami. He sucks.' And then she's like 'oh how sad everyone's bullying this guy :( I bet he's actually rlly nice since he helped me out' and then she tries to interact with him and. No actually he just sucks. The title is a reference to the fact that. He flat out refuses to make friends. People try a lot and he just rejects them. He's the ace of the baseball team but everyone hates his guts, INCLUDING his battery partner, who is just. Totally exasperated all the time. Anyways Yugami has a special interest in rakugou and will just. Recite rakugou. He does it in order to calm himself down during baseball games and everyone's like 'what.'
He also jumps interests quite a bit? But every time he gets OBSESSED. There was a period where he was obsessed with building furniture. He cannot read social cues and he does not care. Like at all.
He really likes structure! He makes a list every day of all the things he has to do and then checks them off. They have a school festival and he goes to every single exhibit. Just to check them off his list. Not even an actual visit. He pops in and immediately leaves.
Someone will talk about some relationship issue and he's like 'just like in [rakugou].'"
Yasutora -
"People think he’s intimidating, but he’s one of the kindest characters in the show! He comes across as having a fairly flat affect with few expressions, and he’s often misinterpreted as being scary by others who don’t know him. He used to be aggressive, but chose to never fight unless protecting someone due to his abuelo’s influence, and I think he’s a low empathy flat affect icon!"
Taiyou -
"He befriends the main character through the power of autism (being completely unaware of the social cues telling him to avoid her and being extremely straightforward when complimenting her). He’s able to inadvertently twist any conversation by misinterpreting what people say, often taking things literally. The idea that someone doesn’t like this girl just Does Not Compute in his head. He’s astoundingly hyperempathetic, just the idea that he may have hurt someone made him burst into tears; and yet he seems to have difficulty reading other people’s emotions. And he has no sense of personal space at all. He’s a sweetheart and he makes up for every shitty “neurotypical person proves how nice they are by befriending the autistic person” trope."
Kai -
"I don’t think I can explain this in a convincing manner, but trust me it makes sense. For an (ex)assassin he is so bad a lying, he brings up details no one was talking about and ends up getting himself into trouble because of it. This is a massive spoiler, but I do think it’s really important to the point; during the first main game the cast are discussing the kitchen incident and whether or not Kai actually threatened Nao, causing her to attack Sou. During which they ask the question why? Why would Kai want Nao to do that, what would he get out of it? They eventually come to the conclusion that it’s because he was trying to steal the computer that Sou had found, and this immediately dooms Kai to his unfortunate fate. But the only reason they are able to get there is because Kai himself says ‘to steal something perhaps?’ when being questioned why he’d have it out for Sou. At that point it’s not even being bad a lying, there was no attempt to lie there he just said what happens in front of everyone and doomed himself. I love him but he’s not always the wisest. There’s something about even the main character thinking openly that he’s a bit weird. One of his first lines after being introduced is him worrying about the laundry he left hanging outside. They’ve been kidnapped and put in a death game and he’s worried about laundry. There something relatable about his limited facial expressions. His face doesn’t really change much unless he’s showing really big emotions, which makes him come across as really aloof and mysterious. The classic ’are you okay? you look sad’ face. Kai also won the most autistic Yttd character - excluding Gin- poll, so there’s that."
Albedo -
"Poor boy does NOT know how to be social with people and spends most of his time drawing stuff on a freezing mountain so he can avoid any kind of social interaction. Also he eats spiders and it's funny."
I want--nay, I need you to know that I completely forgot about the horse discussion from this morning so I logged in tonight and gaped at this like a fish, completely clueless as to what it meant. Then the realization hit me, like waking up from a nightmare. Now, I present you my Frankenstein's Monster. My abomination. My art.

EXT. OUTER SPACE
A pod appears floating around in space. As it rotates, the pod reveals a hole on its surface, torn open by force.
SFX: Beep, beep…
NARRATOR: Danger. Do not attempt to open this pod. The creature inside is extremely hostile. It feeds off the human psyche, seeks out the deranged, the unbalanced and the emotionally crippled.
SFX: Beep, beep…
INT. DINING ROOM.
Aries, Quitterie, and Yun-Hua play a game of cards. They are playing Lucky 9, gambling with a collection of shiny pebbles and rocks they found on a previous planet. Aries, with the most pebbles, is the banker. Funicia spectates.
ARIES: Who wants another card?
QUITTERIE: No thanks. My cards are too good for this dang game. I'm gonna beat all of you.
YUN-HUA: Hey-! Isn't it us against Aries...?
QUITTERIE: Oh right, yeah. Whoops.
ARIES: Hm. Quitterie, if you wanna be the banker next round, I'll let you.
QUITTERIE: That's what I've been saying this whole time!
ARIES: Really?
QUITTERIE: OMG, yeah duh! How'd you not hear me?
ARIES: I mean, all your yapping sounds the same to me, tee-hee!
QUITTERIE: (Gasp!) O-M-G! You're so gonna pay for that!
ARIES: Alright! How about a deal? If the two of you beat me this round, you get to be banker.
YUN-HUA: 'Kay
QUITTERIE: What! That is so unfair!
ARIES: Ok! How about you Funi? Join us!
FUNICIA: Ok!
QUITTERIE: Um, let's not teach gambling to a fourth-grader.
ARIES: Aww, it's not like we're playing with real money so it's totally fine!
QUITTERIE: Alright, fine! But I'll add to the deal. (Smirks) If Funi beats all of us, I get to be the banker!
ARIES: (With mild sarcasm, except with her usual enthusiasm) Oh, you're not just getting Funi involved for your own gain, are you?
QUITTERIE: Alright, then Funi and I get to be bankers. How's that?!
ARIES: (Cheerfully) It's a deal! But we have to restart the round because Funi's with us now.
QUITTERIE: NOOO!
INT. KITCHEN
Luca sits on a kitchen counter while Ulgar, gun in hand, stands in front of him. Luca seems enthusiastic. In the background, Kanata does his cleaning duties.
ULGAR: Lesson one.
LUCA: Man, oh man, this is so exciting!
ULGAR: Shut up.
Ulgar holds out his hands as if he's about to clap.
ULGAR: Now hold your hands like that.
Luca holds up his hands.
ULGAR: Now clap.
Luca smiles doubtingly. He claps.
ULGAR: Faster.
Luca claps again, faster.
ULGAR: Now as fast as you can.
Luca hesitates then claps again with extra strength. But, before his hands could meet, Ulgar pulls his gun between them. Luca exclaims with astonishment.
ULGAR: Now you try.
Ulgar puts out his hands and starts clapping at random intervals. Luca stares confusedly.
LUCA: Hey what the hell! I don't know when you go!
Ulgar smirks.
ULGAR: That's just real life.
LUCA: C'mon man, I thought I asked you to teach me to shoot, not play red hands or something.
ULGAR: This is... serious. It's reflexes.
LUCA: Damn, you didn't even have this whole thing planned. Boo!
ULGAR: Reflexes are important!
LUCA: Yeah, whatever! ...Unless, this is just some excuse to spend some nice recreational time with your best friend. That's oddly sweet of you, Ulgar!
Ulgar's face turns slightly red.
ULGAR: Shut up! I'm teaching you to shoot.
LUCA: Then teach me to shoot, man! Where d'you get these lesson ideas from?
Ulgar doesn't say anything.
LUCA: ... So?
ULGAR: ...Ugh. Forget it.
Kanata looks back from wiping the stovetop.
KANATA: No way! Ulgar, you're referencing a cowboy movie!
ULGAR: Shut up.
KANATA: Oh dude! I got some cool old westerns stored in a drive somewhere. We totally gotta watch them sometime!
ULGAR: Shut up!
LUCA: (To Kanata) Yeah, get back to cleaning!
KANATA: BRO! You guys are supposed to be helping us, too! You got time to lean, you got time to clean - now let's go boys!
He continues wiping the counter.
ULGAR: Hmph.
LUCA: "Us"? I thought you were doing everything yourself.
KANATA: Damn it, where's Charce?! Mr Perfect pretty-boy better not be checking out his reflection or somethin'
Charce carries a pile of dishes over to the sink.
CHARCE: What?
KANATA: Oh good! Thanks so much for the help!
INT. DINING ROOM
Aries, Qitterie, Yun-hua and Funicia continue playing Lucky 9.
ARIES: Uh-oh you guys~ My cards are looking kinda good!
QUITTERIE: I got crap cards... Gimme another card please!
YUN-HUA: Ohh... I would like another card too, please.
Aries tosses Yun-Hua and Quitterie a card each. Quitterie squints in disappointment. So does Yun-Hua.
FUNICIA: I'm happy with mine!
QUITTERIE: Are you sure you know what you're doing?
FUNICIA: Yup! I've seen you guys play so I'm sure I know enough
ARIES: Ok! Three, two, one, REVEAL!
Everyone tosses her cards on the table. Quitterie and Yun-Hua more shamefully than the rest.
QUITTERIE: Seven.
YUN-HUA: Ten...
ARIES: Six!
QUITTERIE: Hold on, did you say six? WHAAAAT!!!
ARIES: HA-AH-AH-Ah-AH-AH-AH-AH!!!
Quitterie shakes Yun-hua's shoulder with defeat and desparation.
QUITTERIE: GIIIRRRLLL! We cou'dve beaten Aries if you didn't ask for that other card!
YUN-HUA: Oh, I'm sorry! She just looked so confident, I wasn't so sure if I should've gambled or not...
ARIES: This is a bluffing game, silly!
YUN-HUA: Aw...
QUITTERIE: Funi! How about you?
FUNICIA: Mine add up to twelve.
We see Quitterie on the floor, defeated. She sighs massively.
QUITTERIE: ...Yun-Hua, this is all your fault, so as a consequense, you gotta tell us a secret!
YUN-HUA: U-uh...
Quitterie sits up.
QUITTERIE: I'll make it easier for you! How about... Tell us something totally embarrassing you did when you were 13.
YUN-HUA: Oh gosh...
Aries, Quitterie, and even Funicia smile at Yun-Hua eagerly.
YUN-HUA: Oh… Ok…! Um…
She pauses for a moment. Suddenly…
YUN-HUA: Oh, I need to go to the bathroom…!
ARIES: Aww, what?
QUITTERIE: Nice excuse, girl! C’mon, let us hear it!
YUN-HUA: No, I’m serious!
QUITTERIE: You’re trying to avoid answering, aren’t you?
YUN-HUA: I promise, I’m not trying to avoid anything! I’ll be right back.
ARIES: Really?
YUN-HIA: No, really!
QUITTERIE: Okay~
YUN-HUA: Besides…! I can’t think of anything right now, but maybe when I come back I’ll give you something good. Really! Okay?
QUITTERIE: Hah… Whatever you say. We’ll be waiting!
INT. CORIDOOR.
Zack, walks down the hallway. He notices Kanata. Over to Kanata, we see him dust off his pants.
KANATA: Whew! That was fun! (pause) Huh? Hey Zack!
ZACK: Kanata, I need to talk to you in private.
KANATA: ‘K!
INT. ZACK'S ROOM
Zack leads Kanata inside.
KANATA: So! Wussup?
ZACK: There appears to be a non-human life form aboard this ship.
KANATA: What?
ZACK: Our ship has been invaded by an alien.
KANATA: I know that but… What does it mean?
ZACK: I don’t know. However, it could be hostile so we must be alert.
KANATA: Alright! I’ll keep my eyes peeled from now on!
ZACK: Good. And so will I!
KANATA: We gotta let the others know. At a good time. When d’you think?
ZACK: Hm… Let’s see… In ten minutes from now, it should be-
A quiet, tense conversation can be heard from another room alerts Kanata and Zack.
??? (from another room): So you didn’t know I even came on this trip?
YUN-HUA (from another room): I’m s-sorry! I didn’t mean–
??? : Enough. I don’t want to hear another measly excuse from you.
KANATA: What n’ the… Someone’s talking down Yun-Hua…!
ZACK: But who?
YUN-HUA: (To ???) Oh… I’m really sorry!
KANATA: He doesn’t sound like anyone here. How…?
ZACK: I don’t know… Unless…
???: (to Yun-Hua) Stop apologising. Is this really how guilty you feel?
YUN-HUA: Y-yes…
ZACK: That is the alien…!
???: (To Yun-Hua) Just how guilty do you feel?
KANATA: Then we have to hurry! Let’s go!
YUN-HUA: (To ???) Awfully, awfully guilty…!
Kanata and Zack run in the direction of Yun-Hua’s voice.
???: (To Yun-Hua) INDEED, YOU DO!
Cut to: Kanata and Zack arrive at the scene. Yun Hua lies unconscious on the floor.
