in an au where kenjaku basically keeps yuji locked up a la rapunzel in tangled... "the girl of the miniature garden" would be such a fitting song for that
Inside this room it’s just you and me
Let’s continue singing this song together
I don’t have to know anything of the outside world
If that’s what you wish
this needs no explanation.
I called you “father”
And you called me “daughter”
Worrying about me who can’t walk, you
Completely filled up the room with beautiful things for me
change father to mother and daughter to son and it works... anyway kenjaku convinces yuji staying like this is the best for him as a vessel. maybe she puts other cursed objects in his room like the death paintings or the prison realm
A dark bedroom and the window’s scenery
That’s all of the world to me
You are always kind, but
You don’t teach me of the outside world
The small objects of this room
They laugh at me
“You and us are one and the same”
From a burned out mansion they found
The remains of a solitary man, and
A scorched clockwork doll
all that remains after kenjaku leaves yuji is kaori's corpse and yuji himself, a vessel who's more of a doll than a person...
(realized partway through this is kinda Take Me To Your River-Yuuji coded)
