into hell

sly blue appearing in bad endings isn’t anything special, either. he pops up in minks bad ending too, but his appearance in koujaku’s ending is p significant because he states that- despite pretending that he isn’t- he genuinely is in love with koujaku. and this just… dosent happen? in like ANY other route? if you take the history trip gives you about sly blue, you can assume that sly has no reason to stick with any one person because he just wants to have fun. trip says aoba’s ‘other self’ was a player- similar to koujaku- and didnt really give a shit about who he was with. for example, he does the frickity frack with mink in his bad ending, but says over and over that he’s really just in it for the sex. he makes no indication that he has romantic intentions for mink at all. he is totally different in koujacks route, where he’s completely obsessed with his love and acceptance of koujaku and won’t shut up about it. i mean shiroba still dosent give a shit about anything but he obviously gives a shit about koujaku- koujaku is not just a one night stand for him.

also the fact that aoba gives up so easily in koujaku’s bad ending says a lot about the meaning of the promise they made to each other. baby koujack tells baby aoba to never give up, and baby aoba’s response is to basically throw his words back into his face. so it wasn’t a one-sided promise more than it was a deal between them. ‘i won’t if you won’t’. so they go into bad ending and aoba goes back on his word, meaning the promise has no meaning to him if koujaku isn’t there to keep up his end. aoba already thinks that the power of scrap is ‘evil’- he says it again and again. he would rather die that hurt other people with it. so from his pov, he permanently destroyed someone who was his hero and did nothing but protect him and look after him- someone who trusted him, and who he considers to be a good person. therefore aoba himself must be horrible person- a monster.

i wonder if clear has internet capabilities like allmates do
