#erimaki

I have so many thoughts about these two ships not because of in game interactions but because i think too hard about the characters themselves and decided who they need to balance each other out. I will cry about them! Lemme run it down

HIDEKEI BABY!

Ok so I’m kind of a sucker for the dynamic where the characters annoy each other on purpose but ultimately trust and adore each other. But also I just think that Nanjo and Brown need each other.

Nanjo needs someone to help him take it easy because GOD being the heir of your shitty dad’s conglomerate must be so exhausting how does the boy do it. Plus I think that Nanjo would really appreciate the strength of Brown’s moral compass and want to protect others. Like that boy does not waver even if he’s making a stupid decision and honestly, kinda charming.

And Brown needs someone to just sit him down and say “be for fucking real.” But like in a supportive way. I want my little guy to not be afraid of being vulnerable and I think out of anyone Nanjo would be able to make him crack. Mostly because of that mutual feeling of loneliness and because if THIS hardass cares then damn it must be okay to bring down his walls a bit.

ERIMAKI 🥺🥺🥺

When I say that these two felt like they had more of a dynamic than either of them with Naoya I mean it. They both have such cynical views of themselves but think the world of the other! The tension with how both of them are jealous of the other is just… OUGH.

Erimaki is just such a visceral ship to me. I don’t know why, I get more feelings from it than I know how to put in words. I think it would be really hard for them to come to terms with their feelings.

Of course I don’t get to know a lot about how Maki feels in P2 era, but I like to think she’s gotten over her crush on Naoya. She hasn’t figured she has a thing for Eriko except little things like how beautiful she is. That would make Eriko’s side of things so hard. I like to think that maybe she has feelings for both Naoya and Maki at the same time. She’s already disgusted with how desperate for love she is from one person, but now there’s two people.
