Everytime I see posts like this I get filled with such profound sadness

Cause you know who has the same brainrot as you? The same unhinged feelings as you after you've read the fic? The person who always wants to scream about the fic with you?

THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT

I never used to leave comments but since I got into the habit of commenting on everything i enjoy it's been incredible. Especially when the author gets back to me about it and we get to have a discussion of what other ideas they had. One writer replied to my comment with a 5 paragraph essay detailing the Floorplan of the building the characters lived in and it was incredible

I don’t see Izuru and Hajime as separate people at all post-game, but I will use their different names to get my point across.

Hajime, Post-Game, is closer to Izuru than he is to Hajime. The simulation is limited; it can’t put his brain back together, it can’t fix what was purposefully broken. The boy that was Hajime can never exist the same way he once did. He’s been turned inside out.

It’s tragic, and it’s horrifying. He will always, to some degree, be cut off from the world, his own emotions, and be plagued by a profound sense of boredom, such is the burden of man-made divinity.

However, from that tragedy, Hajime’s final choice in the game is given even more meaning. He doesn’t know what the future holds, who he’ll be when he wakes up, but he pushes onwards anyway. And, after all that was done to him, he still chooses to live on by the name as Hajime Hinata. He chooses to be something more than the tool Hope’s Peak made from him.

I feel like that emphasis of choice is very important to Hajime’s ending. He isn’t Hajime because he and Izuru are seperate, or because the simulation overwrote Izuru, or somehow undid what was done to him. He’s Hajime because he wants to be.

He has all the talent in the world, and he is above the rest of humanity in so many regards, but he’d rather go by the name of the ordinary teenager he once was.
