Me: See, when Cloud asks Aerith if she and Zack were serious and she responds "Not really", she's not actually lying. While obviously she loved him and he loved her, Zack wasn't really a loadbearing part of her life, and with the hindsight of being an adult she can look back and acknowledge how little their lives intersected. However, Aerith was and is a much more important person to Zack, because she was basically his only friend outside of Shinra, and representative of the life he should have been leading instead of being a child soldier. Their interactions throughout crisis core are baked with a sense of normalcy, something Zack is in desperate lack of, so he views his relationship with her as the only thing "safe" from being in the military. That's why, when his life of being a SOLDIER crumbles around him, the only thing he can really think of is reuniting with Aerith. Aerith is the only haven he had away from it all, and stands for the domesticity he has been so violently robbed of. Aerith is the personification of his dreams, in much the same way Cloud is the personification of his honor, and his mindless chasing and protecting of the two represents Zack trying to cling to the last shards of his identity he has left.
My coworker Jeff: I see. And those reports I asked for?
Me: Irrelevant.
it's all subjective
Idk why I'm falling back into danganronpa out of nowhere but as much as I dislike the DR ending and don't care for the bonus mode in V3/Danganronpa S those Komahina approaches truly made me see shrimp colours. Incredibly funny to barely give the SDR2 cast anything to do in the finale besides save Mitarai's ass but make an effort to show komahina not just getting along but also having Komaeda be the one to reach out to Hinata without self deprecation and being met with excitement back. Paired with that one poster where Komaeda seems to give him a romantic gift. Then you get V3 bonus mode which poses the question "how would Nagito treat Hajime if he knew he was reserve course without the war crimes?". And then every single interaction they have they spend the entire time antagonising each other, mostly Komaeda looking down at him and Hinata taking the most irritated approach to "kill them with kindness" imaginable. But do they dislike eachother? No they're very close friends. They hang out without other people around. In SDR2 pre-chapter 4 the animosity between them was mostly one-sided but now it's mutual. Hajime has made it his mission to befriend the most unapproachable fucked up cat imaginable and Nagito is practically writing him a note saying "get out of my school" to avoid having to wonder why he genuinely likes this talentless boy. They hold hands? Everyone is confused about why they keep hanging out and they're just like "we're friends????? Obviously??? Don't be dumb"
Fully convinced post-OVA the main reason they grow close again is because on one side, Hajime was so persistent with his almost competitive way of showing Nagito he understands him (and is planning to stick around) VS. Nagito suddenly being the one classmate who keeps him humble and doesn't treat him like a God (while undeniably preferring the real Hajime, even though people would assume he would cling to the Izuru side). They're childish and overly competitive with each other and get on each other's nerves but they also understand each other better than anymore else and give each other the love and care they missed previously in their lives
“there you are, nagito-chan!!”
(komaeda went missing while everyone was playing at the beach and the girls went to fetch him lol)🦀 the beach police successfully escorted komaeda back to the beach🙌
bonus: the library dwellers📕 there are not enough books in the library for all of them!
