Also, my apologies, but I cannot stress how much I tried to avoid ship hate, but since this ship is what fuels the story and a lot of Junpei's character, I couldn't avoid it. So minor ship hate for junakane.

First impression: Oh a ProtagonistTM. Here we go...

Impression now: He's got to let Akane go. Also, he's definitely someone that clings unto memories over realistically seeing the situation for what it is. That's very interesting. Note: I did end up liking him, but his relationship with Akane just broke my heart.

Favorite moment: The moment he showed he was more than just the protagonist. I really did not like him until mid 999.

Idea for a story: I need to see if I can find my list of Zero Escape prompts, but a lot of them were about him.

Unpopular opinion: I think him not letting go of Akane is romantic, it's tragic. I really do love Akane and understand her complexity as a character, but I really think they'd be better off as friends.

Favorite relationship: I really like Junpei and Clover's friendship. It's so sweet.

Ik I'm not the only one who sees Susato as nonbinary but I haven't seen a fic diving into that (maybe I haven't dug deep enough for it lol )

Anyway one of the ways I would want to approach it is a 3+1 type format (Like 3 times of her being conflicted abt how natural certain things feel and like the time after those where she accepts it (?))

Uhh some stuff from my notes:

-> she feels conflict and guilt because she does not want 'Ryutaro' to overtake 'Susato' and feels she can only have one or the other

-> end realization is that she is both, can be both, and that there is more to her beyond 'Ryutaro' and 'Susato', and not only can these 'two' coexist but they are part of one person.
