WOAH I GUESS YUUTO TIES WITH CHIE 

Man, Saori doesn't really.... have much of an opinion on Yuuto. He was really just this PROMISE hovering over her head the entire game, constantly reminding her that she needed to prove to some dead kid that there was good in the students. It acted as fodder to keep her going so strong through the game, but even then.... it was only her promise doing that, not... Yuuto.

Yuuto was.... just some stranger. She could've waved him off as a victim off the news channel, and maybe that's why it was so easy for her to yELL HIS NAME across the courtroom during the final mastermind discussion. 

Takumi honestly never liked Yuuto.

Not even in the prologue. Something just... rubbed him the wrong way.

Oh how vindicated Takumi felt when it turned out Yuuto was the mastermind (he didn't really feel vindicated, he felt wrong cause he was more sure it was Sayuri whOOPS)

Kosuke cannot stand people deceiving others, and Yuuto, to Kosuke, felt like the ultimate deception. Kosuke grieved heavily for the EMT's death in the first trial. He made stalwart promises to him in Tartarus to uncover the mastermind. He barely let a day pass without the guilt of letting Yuuto's execution occur haunt his every hour.

And when he found out it all could have been a lie? He broke a little.

"...............goodbye. We.... should never... meet again."

YUUTO... THE BAE... THE ONE WHO HELPED PUSH WAKANA OVER THE EDGE AS MUCH AS SHE DRAGGED HIM DOWN TOO

Tbh I want to do like?? A ton more exploring of how they were before the game began because they were just a spiral of fucked up escalation! Maybe if the world hadn't gone to shit they could've been pals or whatever but it DID and these two met and started talking about the glory of saving people through death

She probably felt this intense attraction to him, or maybe to the ideals he representated... she was more fanatical about her ideals with him, and if he'd been alive she probably would've continued her plan!!

But... he wasn't alive. When Wakana awoke from the machines, Yuuto wasn't there. And when she went searching... she only found his portrait with an X on it. She never.... even found out how he died.

And that was... wrong. He wasn't supposed to die, even if that meant salvation. She needed him. They were partners, he couldn't just... be gone like that.

And then... when she finally wanted to stop, when she went to see him, and he denied even being Yuuto... her heart broke.

Ah, our mastermind. Mister jerkass when Lee first met him. She totally didn’t regret calling bullshit on his actions when they first met in the deadblog. Who even has the right to shoot down people’s ideas??

Tbh Lee’s thoughts on this guy are so mixed? But then again it’s because they never interacted ever again after that so… Like she respects his talent but she can’t respect the guy.

And then REVEAL HAPPENS. But then we see the deadblog Yuuto being all panicky, showing that he’s changed and stuff so ????? Ah?????
