It must be so weird to be Sol. To be an infinite thing in a finite form. To be older than your parents and younger than children you never had. To move celestial bodies and rewrite time. To still occasionally forget if you left the stove on while remembering the death of friends you aren't close to. To never be who you are, just Sol.
All I'm sayin is they must be having a whack time.

Bad timing
I know having favorites in a Kodaka game is pain, but God is it so much worse in this one. Why does Kurara have so many terrible deaths?!
I'm only about a third way through the endings, but so far she's been stabbed, Hung, strangled, dumped in a basement freezer in nothing but her underwear, blown up, and I'm not even sure what happened in killing game yet, but I'm not eager to find out!
So since according to Hiruko timeline memories come back at random, I figured it's not crazy to say it could happen in a timeline where she and Takumi are a couple. And we all know how Takumi is!
I hope you enjoy, and if you do I take commissions, and have a patreon! Details on the pinned post of my tumblr!
The time loop post suddenly inspired me. Vague XC3 spoilers.

There is a singular truth to their love.
She dies. He, inevitably, follows.
~
A chance meeting on the warfront, blade against chakrams. A spark between them that shouldn't have, couldn't have happened, except the laws of the world seem to bend to their love.
All except one.
She dies on his blade. He follows, shot down by her compatriots.
~
They meet on the smoking battlefield of the most recent battle. They're both too tired of fighting to draw weapons, too exhausted by years of senseless war.
They don't talk. Nothing more than silent acknowledgement passes between them, but it's a memory that sticks in both their minds.
She, inevitably, dies. He follows, caught off-guard by the sight of her body in a vital second.
~
They meet. They talk.
They're tired of war, drawn together by the idea of peace. A bond forms between them, something deeper and wider than they've ever experienced before.
They find like-minded allies and prepare to march against the real enemy.
She dies. He follows.
~
They run. Run away from their fate, their responsibilities, their friends. Hand-in-hand, they run into the snowy night.
She dies, curled up against him in a futile bid for warmth. He follows soon after.
~
They make it away. Away from the war, away from their enemies and friends alike. They start a family together.
They can never escape their fate. Their clocks inevitably run down. Their brands are indelible, unchangeable. They cannot outrun time.
She fades into golden sparks on the eve of her tenth birthday. He, eventually, follows, on the eve of his.
~
The law of the world is this - those soldiers who reach the end of their time are removed from the cycle.
The law of their love is this - she dies, he follows.
The world bends to their love. The cycle continues.
~
She dies. He doesn't follow.
He is offered a devil's deal. Life unending, in exchange for their souls.
What else can he do but accept?
Yet even now, their law holds true. They live, eternal, yet they are born anew in the cycle. Two lives split into four; fate cannot be denied.
~
They meet again on the ashes of a battlefield. They clash at first, but circumstance, or perhaps fate, drives them together.
They stand together, against every odd, against every foe. But fate cannot be denied.
There is a singular truth to their world. The clock runs down.
She dies. He prepares to follow.
I'm sorry.
A trick; an exchange; one life paid for another. An eternal life offered in exchange for freedom; the devil's deal used for an angel's blessing.
Eddie laughs and shrugs. Wouldn’t be his first choice, but if Chimney’s offering, then why not? He carefully pushes his drink out of the way, gets on his hands and knees, and starts crawling toward Chim, licking his lips to make sure they aren’t too dry.
“No!” squawks Buck, and everyone but Eddie looks at him. Eddie stays where he is, waiting for someone to tell him what to do.
“Heh, well… that’s not—that’s not the game, right? I mean, w-we’re playing Never Have I Ever, not Truth or Dare! Right guys?”
