I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE I’M BEATING A DEAD HORSE ABOUT V but esp after SAE the amount of v fans that were legitimately like “nope I’m done with mystic messenger, V is too OOC” just left me so stumped 😭😭 SAE definitely isn’t perfect, but if anything I thought they just finally decided to be explicit about how low V can stoop when he’s blinded by an end goal
IKR like they say he's not truly like that but he basically did the same thing in the secret endings?? his entire route was about just how bad his obsession with Rika was. he's willing to do absolutely anything for her, everyone else be damned. like, do they really believe he didn't tell the RFA the truth for their sake? he was very clearly doing it for Rika's sake. Ray AE V gave up on himself and decided to let Rika do whatever she wanted, just like SE V did. i mean it is a fact that Cheritz lowkey treats V like dirt but that doesn't mean that you need to paint him as a perfect angel because he isn't. none of them is. the quicker we come to terms with this + the fact that sometimes, they will fall off the deep end and mess up incredibly, the better.
