The Voids can thank Utsero for saving him from their shitty childhoods but in the case of Chiaki...her entire existence is thanks to him.
Divine Luck is something Utusuro-san can grant to people, and it’ll stick with them. Usually it’s focused around whatever their greatest desires are.
Sora: Good health...
Sora: Acting...
Sora: Escaping danger...
Sora: The truth...
But we can’t use it like him. Divine Luck has the power to reshape the world according to someone’s will, but ours isn’t quite as powerful. And while it can protect you, it doesn’t make you indestructible.
But Nanami-san was born because of it. You know what that means?
Hajime...yes, he did speak of many odd discrepancies in the original timeline!
Come to think of it...has she ever died during any of our missions?
She’s been injured for sure, but has she ever truly died?
Haji mentioned that Kanade poisoned her and he saw her slumped over the toilet. That’s all I can think of though.
But...maybe he just thought she was dead? In fact, has Aki ever even been seriously hurt?
And all that other stuff he talked about with her...
“She stayed alive and kept moving even after she was seriously injured.”
“And even when it was fatal, she still hung on past the point she should’ve bled out.”
Sora: I don’t think it’s just that. Kinjo shot himself in the head, and even though it should’ve killed him, he was still alive. Because Utsuruo-san wanted him to live.
“And Chiaki...her AI, at least...she came back to encourage Hajime. To give him the drive to keep going. To save him from despair.”
“Despair...that her real self must’ve felt when she was dying...”
“Actually, she and her AI both died, but they still hung on...”
“...And, if she didn’t accept her execution, everyone else would’ve died instead!”
“Hajime even said he talked to her ghost at one point. Maybe he was just seeing things...but maybe not. Maybe that really WAS her!”
“And think about all those times she was close to death in our timeline, but she never died. She’s always been close, just not close enough. Not with Kanade, not with Utsugi...and even when we weren’t in a life or death situation, someone was always there to help us.”
You get it now? It all makes sense from someone whose birth should’ve been impossible.
🎶 We’re coming home/We’re coming home/Tell the world we’re coming home/Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday/We know our kingdom awaits and they've forgiven our mistakes/We’re coming home! 🎶
Yeah...let’s finally get everyone off this damn island.
Now you see why I hate the tropics. And oceans.
I should probably check in with Tsumiki and make sure Hinata’s alright.
Hold on. Before we do anything, we need to proceed with tradition. Hiyoko? Remember when you dick kicked Junya? Wellll *Gives Hiyoko some steel capped boots* Now its Storm's turn. And this will be the fate of EVERY male villain we catch. I have been looking forward to this for a LONG, LONG time.
