akitoya bffs since childhood, having a shared dream to escape the fucked up world they live in

Akito used to be super into this dream and was convinced they'd achieve it together. Meanwhile, Toya simply believed in that dream bcs Akito did—

Over time Akito stops clinging onto such "childish" dreams and joins the police faction that's against such escapist ideals—meanwhile Toya still hangs on and builds the plane from their shared childhood dream bcs he wants Akito to rerealize that dream with him

and then it leads to a chase where Akito is essentially "blinded" by the ideals society has imprinted on him, while Toya keeps challenging him and trying to push him to see their dream again

The first thing you need to know if you want to use phenodromy is that the universe operates on cycles; the change of Spring to Summer, the turning of the earth, the flow of breath

Each phase of a cycle (for seasons that'd be spring, summer, autumn, and winter) has a unique spiritual and physical energy, and phenodromy taps into that energy through repeated right actions at the right times

Right actions are actions that tap into the spiritual meaning of a phase (ex: feasts for Spring, battles for Summer, deception for Autumn, and silence for Winter)

Right times are times when right actions' effects are especially pronounced (for instance, Saturdays are auspicious for Winter, while Sundays are auspicious for Summer)

Note that even if fae weren't physically hindered by auspicious/inauspicious times, it'd still be considered a major social taboo to act in a way that doesn't line up with the established Order of Days; the line between fae culture and fae magic is pretty thin

The internal form of phenodromy is you aligning yourself with a cycle phase through meditation, which uses the phase's energy to strengthen you

Think about what the phase means, how you can best embody that meaning, and what actions it makes auspicious, and your understanding will let you channel more and more of the phase over time

Some examples of this are the abilities exhibited by individual fae; for instance, Summer fae's passions make them terrifying to face in combat, while Spring fae's fertility helps them heal faster from wounds and makes them more charismatic

Although anyone can use phenodromy, fae are inherently aligned with a seasonal phase, giving them an intuitive understanding of their phase and how to exploit it

The external form of phenodromy is you pulling phase energy into the world to affect a location

Fae courts are hotspots for external phenodromy; the Archons (High Lords) infuse their realms with phase energy, which makes it all the more easy for fae to align themselves with a phase through internal phenodromy

Phenodromy is way more subtle than ACOTAR's magic system, but external phenodromy is the closest you’ll get in terms of how overt it is

Except if you're a mortal trying to escape from a Summer estate, they wouldn't need to shoot fire from their hands to stop you, because here the fires would already be lit

The inhabitants are impossibly ferocious in attempting to prevent your escape, the air is oppressively hot and heavy; every light is just a bit too blinding, every sword stroke hits a bit deeper than it should

-tomura was hesitant at first to kill those thugs despite wanting to, and was encouraged by AFO to do so. His desire to be violent was always embraced and given positive reinforcement

chisaki was seemingly violent without holding back, in the flashbacks its mentioned he got "into another fight" , the Boss also mentions him hurting some ppl real bad. But unlike AFO the Boss continually tells chisaki to stop. he's so appalled by how chisaki is choosing to act that he tells him if he cant change he needs to leave.

bonus in response to all the "never kill yourself" comments:
