14A_abb/aba Day 100 Damn, what a great route that was. Again no offense to 14B but I just really needed something with drama and stakes. What a beautiful pair of endings. Though for probably obvious reasons abb (Last Kiss?) was way better. I didn't get any answers I was looking for, but I did questions. So many questions. So there's some kind of parasite in Takumi. I wonder if this means he'll go crazy on every route. I think I'll stay on the Slasher route a bit longer. I want to explore the permutations, and this one is much more in line with what I'd been looking for. Though some of Hiruko's comments make me interested in choosing a route where I stay at the school. She seemed pretty traumatized from events there. But it's good to have very explicit confirmation that no matter what else happens. I can have 100% faith in Hiruko.
14A_b Day 56 Leapt a bit further back than the most immediate choice because standing up Hiruko was the most recent split and I just don't feel like doing that to her after the other ending. I'll back to that one later, but for now I've taken the split that results in Yagumo's immediate death and...subsequent zombiefication. Whatever could be going on? Well thankfully the Archive has my back this time. Says here a G'ie Queen lays eggs in corpses which then bond. So I guess Takumi has a queen or something inside him, or perhaps there's one in the school (Darumi and Gaku brought a friend from the field trip...) and it's making servants. Interesting.
