^ In a world where the game released all at once this would be like "You heard about the Gilded Rose item and you're trying to figure out how to get it". It's supposed to be like the starting point of the playground rumor that especially Chapter 2's Weird Route is framed as. (Basically it would be the Mew that you are hoping to find under the truck in the first place or maybe some other RPG would have a more fitting comparison)

As for why specifically the Gilded Rose would be of interest aside from the obvious (again imagining the 'game released all at once' world where hypothetically we would not have known about the Thorn Ring for like 5 years already) I would not be surprised if when Noelle presumably might be a playable party member again next chapter if none of the equipment she can have legitimately in a normal route is ever as good as the Gilded Rose. (it has 16 ATK, the highest of any weapon in the game tied with the Black Shard) So in theory one would think "It would be really nice if Noelle could have this item, so that she could be stronger".

All that to say

Have my HCs on how some of the Survive kids would've avoided admitting they just didn't get what everyone else was feeling

Saki: picked a random boy every month or so to pretend to have a crush on and tried to copy how other girls acted around guys they liked

Aoi: shot down the question. "Who do you like?" "I'm just too busy to think about that kind of thing." She's always been a serious enough student for people to accept that excuse.

Kaito: dodged the question altogether. "What do you think of her?" "Why're you staring at her? Creep."

The US Government is currently trying to pass an incredibly dangerous national law for trans youth called HR 2616.

This bill would ban all Federally funded schools from teaching about gender identity or sexual orientation, prevent teachers from using the correct pronouns and names for trans students, remove books with any trans representation in them, and even go as far as to prevent teachers from acknowledging trans identity AT ALL.

Any school that does not follow this will lose all federal funding. This bill would also require teachers to forcibly out trans students to their families, which would be fatal to any trans student with a transphobic Family or just hateful family in general. Trans people are already a group that already has some of the highest rates of being victim to suicide, domestic violence, and sexual assault.

This bill actively makes teachers put those innocent children at such a big risk. This bill has rapidly passed the house this week with support from all 209 republicans, as well as 8 democrats. But, it's still being voted on in the senate, which means there is still time to help stop this.

To help stop this, you can visit 5calls.org (look up 2616 in the search bar), one of the most top issues filed Oppose Attacks on LGBTQ+ Students. Once you put in your general location, it will pull-up contact information for your senator, and give you a script for calling them.

If you are a minor and/or do not feel comfortable doing this, PLEASE repost this on here, or any other platform you are on/can find! This needs to be heard and fought against.

Thank you for reading this, my lovely people!
