just spinning Ren/Rui in my head

Hojo "Would Do Anything For Rui So Long As It Isn't Say Words" Ren and Kagamiya "Better To Not Know Than Get Rejected" Rui, a completely dysfunctional and inseparable couple.

Okay, so disclaimer first: I haven’t gone to examine the actual lore too well before writing this and I’ll bet there’s some things got lost in translation. But I was having some Thoughts about the Fatal Frame characters and the different vibes they give me, and these are those:

Miku, Miu, Yuri, and Hisoka have their link to the spirit world built into them. It’s a fundamental part of their existence: they would have always had one foot in the supernatural world, even if the events of the game had not happened.

Mayu, Mio, and Rei fulfil the conditions of a particular curse or ritual. Outside of these conditions, they would have little or no way to interact with the supernatural world. Within these conditions, they are unable to remove themselves from it. 

Mafuyu, Kei, Ren, Chōshirō , Rui, Ruka, Misaki, and Madoka are kind of in the same ‘cursed’ state, but it’s not something that’s intended for or structured around them, per se. To me, they’re a kind of mix between the two previous ways of being linked to the world of ghosts. Their searching for knowledge puts them in the path of something that’s already been happening, something that’s bigger than them. The supernatural does not take special notice of them until they cross a particular line. They’re essentially victims of a supernatural event.
