DMMD: Clear's route and stuff
Honestly, I’m not sure about Clear anymore. Before I hit his route done, his character irritated me because I’m not fond of such characters as his. By that I mean clownish ones. Though when he started speaking without all that I even felt a bit better for him. Like, you know, he is obviously so clear (no pun intended), pure, innocent, no need to explain that for sure. The only thing that at the same time bothers me and doesn’t bother me is that Aoba was completely fine with all this “I’m a robot" thing. And I’m a bit confused not because Clear is a machine, but because the way Aoba took it almost as granted. Maybe that’s because of Allmates are a usual thing, but still I’m a little surprised by that. Yes, Aoba is an easy-going guy, but still. Though I’m satisfied with this route as a whole. Clear doesn’t irritate me anymore, he’s a nice character and his song is so extremely beautiful. And kudos for a sea themes - I love those very much.
But beside that, the thing that bothers me a lot is Ren. After a certain moment in every route it is clearly Aoba gets his bag lost or left somewhere… right? He can’t carry it all the time with him… right? Then where? Where is Ren then? He is never told about when the tower crumbles and stuff. Aoba never makes remarks about him. But in the end he is definitely safe and sound. Aoba cares for him greatly, it is no doubt as we can see through all routes, but why that attitude in the end? Ok, I get that main characters are main even in the end if every route, but… I cannot comprehend that. If I am told about Ren being a very important for Aoba, how can I be calm about him when there is not a single sentence about him when the climax of the story is shown? That is very irritating to tell the truth.
The Ren’s rout left. Well, I’m glad I finally can go through it, but at the same time I’m a little sad it soon will end.
