FCK : Rei is forced to live with her father and be a proper politician's daughter, Rei stays in love with Mamoru the whole time, Rei dates a pigeon.
Oh I do love some Rei-based conundrum!
Fuck: Rei dates a pigeon. You may have thought I’d kill this, but no, there are greater evils to hate here. But I get to fuck with it, so lets! Rei dates a pigeon, but primarily so she can use that fact to further prove to men how thoroughly uninteresting she finds them. “No, I will not go on a date with you. I would rather date a pigeon.” Then she produces photographs of her legitimately on a date with a pigeon, and waits for that truth to sink in, which gives her something wonderful to replay that night before bed.
So the pigeon dating thing lasts about two weeks. They break up amicably and remain friends.
Canon: Rei is forced to live with her father and be a proper politician’s daughter. The premise mentions nothing about Rei herself changing, and in fact specifically mentions that Rei has to be strong-armed into it. Rei directly bristling against all this, building to what I can only see as an inevitable explosive rejection of everything? SIGN ME UP
Kill: REI STAYS IN LOVE WITH MAMORU THE WHOLE TIME THIS IS OFFENSIVE TO ALL SENTIENT LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE AND DESERVES ITS SWIFT DEATH
