tatsumi learns that kaname has been in a coma for the past year and is so overtaken by throes of despair, he cant leave his dorm due to psychosomatic illness and pain and so, mayoi, in all his self-proclaimed devilry, accepts tatsumi for all his sin and humanity with empathy, acting as his source of penitence and comfort, just as tatsumi acted as the penitentiary and comfort for the non special students of reimei,, and thus together, they commit to Being Nicer To Themselves And Not Beating Themselves Up Over Their Mistakes,
alkaloid is just a circle of 3 people yelling at each other to stop being self deprecating and 1 person who is cheering them on while they yell
aira: MAYO!!! YOURE A GREAT SENPAI!!! I DONT EVEN CARE ABOUT YOUR FREAKISHNESS!!! I LOVE YOUR FREAKISHNESS, IN FACT!!! ITS LOVELY!!!
mayoi: /“‘/$$/?:&:@-$¥.€+\zhbsDWyou should. say nice words like that to tatsumi. who should perhaps most definitely learn to… move on….. and not linger….. on something that was not his fault………….
tatsumi: no it was most definitely my fault but regardless we cannot forget aira, the most hardworking member of our unit who we would be absolutely lost without,
aira: but if it wasnt for tatsun we would be truly lost AND ALSO,
hiiro (keeping score of praise): aira’s winning, by the way! go aira! i love my friends!
rinne comes in to take bets. he's losing. rinne (whispering to hiiro): ya think you could finagle the score a bit for me, lil bro? hiiro: ohh aira's still in the lead! :D rinne, who didn't bet on aira: dammit
