Are you still taking questions? If so, I would love to know more about Tsumugi Shirogane in your remnants au :)
I am! I know Iāve been really bad about answering asks lately, thereās been a lot going on.
But Tsumugi! I love her sheās great, her main schtick in the remnant au is sheās basically filling Chisaās role as the mole within the Future Foundation.
She uses her cosplay skills to sneak around to still be able to see the other remnants without blowing her cover. Tsumugi is a bit of an odd duck, since she doesnāt have much of a visible personality change since she has to be so under the radar. It sets her apart from a lot of the others, so sheās not super close to the rest of the group.
Some more than others of course, I think she interacts with Shuichi and Kaede the most. She passes along all the Future Foundationās plans to Shuichi so he can make sure the remnants are one step ahead. Itās likely harder for her to sneak around after the thh survivors join, since then sheād have Kyoko to contend with, but Tsumugiās up for the challenge!
Iām also intending to have her eventually be the one to add the virus to the Neo World Program, so her avatar would still be the mastermind. Itās more like the Chiaki ai tho so itās technically not Tsumugi in the program properly, but close enough.
The Neo world program stuff is interesting because Tsumugi would have been involved with the initial planning and knew about it when Makoto was coming up with the idea, but she wasnāt expecting the Future Foundation to ever actually be able to catch everyone, so it didnāt seem like anything of concern. That is until Korekiyo pseudo defected and suddenly the Future Foundation had all the information it needed.
And Tsumugi couldnāt do anything to stop him without giving herself away, so she had to figure out a back up plan. Thatās where infecting the program with the virus came in, presumably with Rantaro's help (cause Kamakura).
I say Korekiyo only pseudo defected because he didnāt really turn against despair as a concept, like he doesnāt actually think the plan will work, itās more just heās upset at the other remnants and this seems like a good way to upset them. But thatās why he doesnāt turn Tsumugi in either, itās more of a long con to piss her off.
And I think thatās most of whatās up with Tsumugi! At least as of now, I havenāt gotten to her chapter yet so Iām sure when I do the ideas will get more fleshed out!
