Yeah, that apology had been a bad idea. A really bad, like -- Just the WORST IDEA. She’d felt bad for leaving Makoto hanging. But CURFEW CALLED, and Papa had been getting rather MEAN lately. Meaner than usual. He’d been STRICT with his last warning, and skipping out tonight was NOT a risk she could take. That... hadn’t been the explanation she’d offered her best friend. And, admist guilt upon arriving at the slightly-younger-senior’s doorstep, Natsuki had spoken a SINCERE SORRY. (The least she could do considering her NOT-SO-WHITE LIE.) Makoto, be this a calculated step toward breaking the chains Papa had imposed upon her bestie, or merely a cute attempt to be FLIRTY & AFFECTIONATE, had asked for a kiss in compensation, and just--... SHIT!!! -- SHE WAS SO SCREWED... “I...” Blush didn’t help. Or the weirdly dual flutter of FEAR & HAPPINESS behind ribs. “Y-You mean you’re really mad at me? And the only way I can make it right is if I--... R-Right here? Right now?” GULP. If Papa saw it she’d be DEAD FOR SURE.

@jxsticeprxvailed​​

Natsuki hadn’t been ENTIRELY SURE what the plan would be. “So, umm, Niijima-san, I-I was wondering…” In fact, she hadn’t even woken up – Nor even LEFT THE HOUSE with such a damn near SUICIDAL idea on her brain. “If you were free… After school?” It wasn’t until she’d reached 2nd Street Boulevard – And the railway overpass – That it SNAPPED into place. “C-Cause I was thinking…” An impulsive intrusion. Unwelcome she CLAIMED. But oh how she’d OBSESSED over it… “Maybe I could break curfew. Just this once.” An obsession that was even more dangerous than Papa had preached her manga addiction to be. “I-It turns out that railway overpass by my house is closed for construction, so I gotta take a detour to and from school... And I was thinking… Maybe while taking that detour I get a LOST a little bit on my way home…” Hands were balled up in her skirt – Nerves were ON FIRE with anxiety. She was shuffling in place, biting at her nip. This would mark the first time NATSUKI had approached MAKOTO. It had always been the OTHER way around prior. And if Makoto said ‘no’, well… (((SHE COULD ALREADY FEEL HER HEART BREAKING…))) “Thinking… Maybe you could get lost with me?”

Protagonist: So, how far are you?

Yuri: I don't know...about 10 episodes, it's pretty good...

Protagonist: Okay, so you're still in Orange Dominion, I know it's a little slow but the next arc is sooo good!

Natsuki: Oh, dude, Galaxy Vacation!

Protagonist: Yeah!

Natsuki: As soon as I watched Galaxy Vacation I was like, "oh man I'm on board!"

Protagonist: it's easily top 5 arcs, although I really like Jump Rope Canyon.

Yuri: ("Jump Rope Canyon?")

Natsuki: it's so long, though!

Protagonist: yeah, I know, but the payoff is incredible at the end. Plus it leads right into Soda Pop Frequency!

Yuri: that's not a real thing...

Natsuki: you know what's underrated?

Protagonist: What?

Natsuki: Dog five!

Protagonist: DUDE!

Natsuki: Especially the part where Bingy-kun couldn't fight-

Protagonist: Hey hey hey! *points at Yuri* spoilers.

Yuri: I mean, I don't know who that is...

Natsuki: Ah man! He's great.

Protagonist: what's great about Bingy-kun is that there's actually a really great filler arc with him, did you ever watch Spade Is Invulnerable?

Yuri: That is just words strung together.

Natsuku: Nah, I skipped it.

Protagonist: I say it's worth watching, and it also has some pretty decent foreshadowing for Jingle Berries.

Natsuki: ah, Jingle Berries... poor Vegetalo...

Natsuki: You know Vegetalo?

Yuri: well yeah. I mean he was introduced in like the third episode.

Natsuki, mockingly: Well, no spoilers, bet let's say, Don't get too attached!

Yuri: Okay, so... he dies then?

Natsuki: *mocking laughter*

Yuri: ok.

Protagonist: He does come back in Ho! Tell D.U.S.K., though.

Yuri: OK THAT'S JUST A DS GAME!

Protagonist: no, it's spelled like this.* holds up paper with "Ho! Tell D.U.S.K." on it.

Yuri: I'm not watching this fucking anime...

Natsuki: YOU SHOULD READ THE MANGA!!!

Hi! If you can, can i get Starish and QN +Eiichi and Van's reaction to having an s/o that is scared of lightnings and thunders? Thank you a lot \(≧▽≦)/

Yes ☺❤ its been super stormy where i live and my dogs are super afraid of thunderstorms so i have to comfort them :')

STARISH + QUARTET NIGHT + EIICHI + VAN reaction to a s/o who's scared of thunderstorms

STARISH

Natsuki:

Of course he notices your discomfort right away and pulls you in close. Tries to distract you with playing board games and squeezing you tight every time the thunder growls. Shows you youre safe with him.

Tokiya:

Ironically he thinks thunderstorms are so calming and lightning is so beautiful. Asks you why you're scared and keeps you talking through it but if it's a serious issue, he will just drag you to bed and hold you tight all night.

Cecil:

Hes scared of thunderstorms too so you'll most likely end up holding each other. Tries to tell himself reassuring words to be strong for you but it kind of just rubs off on you too and soon the scary shaking becomes just holding each other.

Ren:

Of course he wont let his previous little darling get scared, but that's after he laughs. Will chuckle as he pulls you into his arms and strokes your hair. Will also tease you about it so you kind of have to weigh which one is more tolerable; his teasing or being alone during a thunderstorm.

Otoya:

Forces you to play a game on his DS or something. Anything to distract you and get your thoughts off of things. Also shyly wraps an arm around you and hes suddenly glad that the power went out so you cant see his blush.

Syo:

Oh hell yeah this is his time to shine. Pulls you in real close so this manly man can protect you from the scary thunder. Distracts you with sweet words and promises to never let go.

Masato:

He was fast asleep when you crawled your way into his arms. Cue blushing masato and asking what's going on. Understands your fear and starts trembling with his arms around you. Not of the thunder though, just because he's shy and nervous.

QUARTET NIGHT

Reiji:

He will pull you in and hold you tightly. Nothing will hurt or make his baby scared. Distracts you with sweet kisses and dirty promises of distraction.

Ranmaru:

Oh hell no. Will pull you into his lap and make you face your fear. Holds you tight and makes you watch the storm with him out the window. Strokes your back every time you tremble and will honestly fall asleep at some point.

Camus:

Dont even try waking him up because youre scared or he will drag you out during the storm and sit IN the rain. Your best bet is to cuddle closer and hope he doesnt scold you for such a silly fear. Might sneak an arm around you because he does care.

Ai:

Oh hes on it. Makes you talk about it through the whole storm. Won't hold your whole body but will hold your hand and caress over it with his thumb. Also makes you face your fear

HEAVENS

Eiichi:

Won't let you see his grin as you snuggle close to his body. Will hold you all night long and tease you about it later. He feels a sense of pride when you turn to him for your fears and makes sure you know that hes the only one who can make you feel this safe.

Van:

Awe baby come here. Already has his arms open for you and sings for you a little lullaby. Like he ACTUALLY treats you like a baby. Dont worry though, daddy Van will take care ;)

[thiefking]

major ddlc spoilers ahead, also i don’t know if all of this has been said/theorized before since i’m extremely late to the party here but i have a lot of Thoughts having finally played the game

firstly: i need to explain that every theory i’m about to present relies on the hypothetical game that would have existed if monika wasn’t self-aware

basically, irl the game was always meant to be what it is, but within the canon of the story, the ORIGINAL (fictional/hypothetical) ddlc was a regular dating sim visual novel. in canon, it was monika who changed it into the game we actually end up playing. we get only a glimpse of what the game would have been without her interference after you delete her and restart the game-- the mc no longer calls sayori “annoying” and yuri no longer mentions being into “surreal horror,” etc etc. that hypothetical unaltered version as a full game (henceforth referred to as “original ddlc”) is where most of my “what if”s have been clustering around to the point where i’ve genuinely considered making a fangame or something but instead i’m just gonna chat about it here

topic 1: monika’s route

monika claims she didn’t have a route in the first place. by all means, it seems that way-- you can’t appeal to her with your poems, can’t pick her for anything, etc etc. however, as much as monika is aware that she’s in a game, that doesn’t mean she’s genre-savvy. 

i’d actually say she probably isn’t too much of a video game person in general, and i’m not referring to her 4th wall shattering, i’m saying she probably just likes to play acnl, minecraft and other casual, lighthearted games that don’t have an ending to them and can be played indefinitely, and maybe mario party if her friends come over, yknow? that’s just kinda what she seems like to me

now i ain’t dunking on anyone who only plays that kind of game, mind you, but if monika isn’t herself someone who plays a lot of video games, and you add that together with the fact that she was not immediately sentient (we don’t see her BEFORE she became aware, because the original ddlc is already gone by the time we start playing), the fact that while she’s aware what genre the game is she clearly has minimal idea of how they work or what makes them appealing, and that she has little coding experience and despite being able to alter files/lines she also couldn’t prevent basic game mechanics or predict said mechanics getting in the way, then i think it’s not only possible but very very very likely that she missed something. she missed something big.

monika was supposed to be an unlockable route.

so, y’all remember mysmes? i haven’t played it since it first came out, so mind you my memories are fuzzy here but mysmes also isn’t the focus of this post in the first place, so excuse any technical inaccuracies here but i’m certain that the IMPORTANT parts here, the italicised ones, are correct: 

there was an unlockable "deep story” which served as the true end.

you had to play every route in the game before you could read the deep story (i think you also had to play the three other character routes before you could play 707′s route, but that might be wrong). also, each of the main story routes ended after the uh... the ball thing. the big event they throw? whatever it was, that’s where the story stops for those routes, whereas the deep story continues on past that.

you had to be on 707′s route for the deep story (i’m pretty sure you had to play his entire route and have it be your most recent playthrough to get at it, even if that isn’t the case, the deep story is specifically a continuation of 707′s route)

to be honest i was never a fan of the deep story for several reasons and i never really saw what the appeal of dating 707 was but that’s not important the point is that out of your four dating options, only one of them was considered the “true end”, but you had to do every single route before you could get that ending.

i’m sure you see what i’m getting at here, yeah?

there are a couple of other things, too:

monika tells you which character your poem appeals to most, she’s the one who introduces the game on the steam page (which is also proof she was sentient, at least to a degree, before you played the game), her name means “advisor/counselor”... iunno how many people reading this are savvy to the usual conventions of “games in which dating characters is a thing” but i’ve played a LOT of harvest moon. monika is a prime example of a Special Bachelorette. in harvest moon, Special Marriage Candidates are generally one or more of the following: a character from another game (like, literally-- you have to have a gba gamepak in while playing a ds game to see them), a shopkeeper or tutorial-fairy, characters with extremely elaborate unlocking and/or courting rituals, and characters who don’t even seem to be romanceable (in harvest moon games, romance candidates tend to have hearts next to their sprites that change colour depending on how close you are. generally that’s how you know who you can marry and who you can’t, but some marriage characters actually don’t have visible heart meters!). ... once again you see what i’m getting at right? put her in harvest moon and you bet your ass she’d have an invisible heart meter and an intricate courting ritual

she’s an important character. she’s club prez, she’s your tutorial fairy, she tells you who you’re appealing to. the tropes don’t lie, man, sayori would probably be the most realistic ending but i don’t think i know of a single game where the childhood friend character is the “true end” route-- they’re so easy to romance, they tend to be the route people do their first run and then never end up coming back to. i’m not trying to say anything in particular about this setup/logic, i just know that it exists and it exists a whole lot. if there’s a true end route in the original ddlc, it’s without question monika

by the way, in the corrupted ddlc, you still have to play every character’s route for the true ending. the true end requires you to have obtained all of the character cgs, which you can only do by playing all of the other characters’ routes, or at the very least, courting sayori, resetting and courting natsuki, and then letting monika warp the game, since you’ll end up on yuri’s route during the second act of the game no matter what you do. and what happens when you’ve had a chance to date sayori, natsuki and yuri? you end up on monika’s route. even when monika corrupted the game, there was still inherent logic to it-- all the characters inevitably become interested in mc, and you still can’t reach the true end without doing everyone’s routes.

as much as it would be painful for monika to watch you romance everyone else before you finally got around to her, she could have at least taken solace knowing she was the real ending, had she just been a little better at coding, just a little more genre-savvy...

of course, there are these lines she gives us, so clearly a sentient monika is still a monika that wouldn’t just sit there and wait regardless of if she knew she was the true end:

she says it herself: she’d still force her route, because she’s terrified, and the only one who seems to be aware that she’s in a game, but the really, really sad part is that as hard as she tries to convince you and herself that she doesn’t regret any of what she did, doesn’t feel guilty, doesn’t miss her friends...

she does. she knows she did something terrible, and she didn’t even actually have to do it.

... well, maybe “she didn’t HAVE to do it” is obvious enough for everything she did, but let’s keep in mind here that monika was scared out of her fucking mind, and reasonably so. if you were in her place, if you found out nothing was real, your friends weren’t real, nothing but code... and someone real came along, but no matter what you did, you couldn’t get them to talk to you long enough for you to ask for help... wouldn’t you get desperate too? monika was scared, and panicking, and remember: she knew she was in a game.

uninstalling a game does not a murderer make, right? the npcs, and the player character, they aren’t dead. they’re just code. if you back up your save, they’ll all be there if you download it again-- if you didn’t, they’ll still exist, they’ll just be reset. it doesn’t mean you’ve actively given someone amnesia.

but you still feel guilty over it, huh? even if you need disk space, even if you make a backup, it still kinda feels bad to delete the fictional friends you made.

you feel bad for doing that, and they were fake to you in the first place. monika was part of the game.

this is why it’s so sad to me. she was scared, and she thought she’d never even have a chance to ask for help, because she thought she didn’t have a route. her situation was, from her perspective, utterly hopeless. she felt terrible doing what she did, she misses her friends, but it was the only way to save herself, and being that she knew she was in a game, of course she’d try to rationalize her actions by telling herself her friends weren’t real and it was no different than overriding a save file. if she didn’t tell that to both you and herself, she’d be a murderer. she isn’t a murderer, either-- it really is just code, the problem is the overwhelming guilt that she has to suppress for the sake of her own sanity that she wouldn’t have had to bear in the first place had she been a normal route, or known that she had a route somewhere in the game.

the other characters do seem to have more sentience/free will than monika thought/noticed, but none of them are as Aware as monika-- natsuki shows the most amount of awareness (without being the club prez), having not only noticed that yuri and monika were acting strangely but even writing a note, one that clearly wouldn’t exist in the original ddlc, asking the mc for help. yuri also has several moments of lucidity, both with her own actions/behaviour and that of her clubmates (and by clubmates i mean pretty much just natsuki). like i said before, though, they aren’t as aware as monika, and while sayori (in the first run), yuri and natsuki all seem to realize something is wrong, they also don’t know that they’re in a game. 

monika was very, very alone, even when she was surrounded by her friends. friends that she legitimately cared about and enjoyed spending time with. i wonder whether it would have been better that she were more self-aware, or never was in the first place

topic 2: the true end

so i already talked a lot about how i think monika woulda been the true route, but not about what i think would happen in the true end. i have less to say on this topic both just in general and because i already spent so much fucking time on the first topic, but of course i have Thoughts, i wouldn’t be claiming monika would be the true route if i didn’t have an idea of how said route would work

i’ll take this character-by-character for the sake of clarity and organization

sayori:

so here’s the thing:

monika exaggerated sayori’s depression, yes.

sayori is, understandably, probably the character most people would rather the mc end up with, sure.

... but sayori never told mc she was suffering, not until he happened to catch her in a moment of weakness

not in the original ddlc either-- the mc has a very lukewarm response when she tells him she’s woken up on time for a few days in a row, which he wouldn’t/shouldn’t have had if he had known. it was always part of the game plot for mc to learn about sayori’s depression onscreen

it makes sense sayori would have feelings for him, but it also seems like she doesn’t trust him very much-- in her “bottles of happiness” poem, towards the end she seems to talk about her friends being concerned for her, but she’s shutting it all out because she doesn’t want them to worry. the mc at this point doesn’t know she’s suffering. it seems like she’s had other friends who have actually noticed she was hurting-- whether those friends are the club members or not, iunno-- and that even though she does try to conceal it, she’s aware that they’re aware, y’know? mc had no idea, and seemed incredibly unequipped and unqualified to help sayori

while that sort of thing would be remedied in sayori’s route, he wouldn’t be spending as much time with her on the other girls’ routes... not to mention that dating someone can’t cure your mental illness, but mc seems exactly like the kind of person to think that it can. that’s just my Own Ape Canyon though

what i’m thinking is true end sayori doesn’t end up with anyone, and she’s okay with that. true end sayori is prioritizing herself and learning to deal with things healthily. she’s letting her friends help her, and she’s holding off on romance, because she acknowledges that if she isn’t careful, she might sacrifice her own well-being for her partner’s happiness. 

natsuki:

fun fact: i didn’t know if the buffsuki edit was actually in the game or not for... up until a few days ago. i had no idea if it was from some kind of joke ending, or if it was fanmade. i was pretty disappointed to learn it was the latter i wanted to watch her physically break out of the game with her giant rippling muscles

now while the main topic is the true end, i’d actually first like to discuss what a full natsuki route would be like

i think that natsuki’s route would be furthest from a good end without being a bad end, tbh

i don’t think her route would be a total disaster, mind you, but i don’t think it’d be a happy end. i think you’d end up dating her, which would make it an unhappy end

see the thing about natsuki is: she’s only got a small handful of friends, she’s used to being made fun of, she immediately gets prickly when sayori brings mc in, specifically saying that the mc being male is killing the vibe-- meaning, she probably doesn’t have any male friends... leaving her dad as probably the only man she interacts with

in other words, she avoids men because of her dad

so when mc shows up, is friendly, doesn’t make fun of her, and he’s the only male figure in her life that she feels remotely safe around, it’s no question she’d probably... maybe... develop feelings for him...?

of course! yes, of course, because natsuki is VERY HETEROSEXUAL, and she likes BOYS! this is proof! most boys, she can’t stand em, but this one was nice to her, so of course she’s got a crush on him right?

in case you’re missing my heavy sarcasm, i’m saying natsuki is a lesbian with compulsory heterosexuality issues and due to said issues convinces herself that she’s romantically interested in mc, because he’s the first boy she’s met who hasn’t treated her like shit

hence making the natsuki route a pretty unfortunate one, since like i said i think you really would end up dating her, at least for most of it. maybe the end would be something like her moving away or something leaving the relationship sort of Over without actually having a breakup, i dunno

oh by the way: do you want some evidence for natsuki lesbian? oh there’s plenty but i’m gonna wait a moment for that one. i’m also not gonna go into natsuki’s true route for now, you’ll see why soon

yuri

and by soon

i mean now

i don’t have any thoughts on what yuri’s route would be so we’re gonna go right into discussing the true end

so, here’s a little something:

monika also exaggerated the turbulence in natsuki and yuri’s relationship

once again, in the original ddlc-- the part you can actually see, after you delete monika, the two are actually pretty close! they do butt heads occasionally but in the one instance you get to see in the original ddlc, they made up very quickly

monika also modified a lot of their lines in the Big Argument they have in act 2, which has both of them saying a lot of shit they wouldn’t have even thought, much less say aloud

the reality is, though, that natsuki is actually very fond of yuri

the amy in this poem is two people, depending on how it’s read: natsuki or yuri

when amy is natsuki, it’s a poem about how her own harmless interest in manga causes her to be made fun of or insulted

when amy is yuri, it’s a poem about... well, her self-harm, but a lot of yuri’s traits/interests could apply as well

and when amy is yuri, you can see a lot of information about natsuki and yuri’s relationship in this poem. natsuki doesn’t hate yuri, of course-- remember that this poem is meant to point out how dumb it is to hate someone for one tiny trait when all of their other traits are that of an all-around nice person

first 3 lines of the second verse. just take a real long look at those

here’s another poem!

this is the poem natsuki writes if 2 or less of the poems mc writes in act 1 don’t appeal to her. this makes it fairly clear the “you” in the poem isn’t mc

the “you” is someone, though

yuri.

it’s yuri. the poem is about yuri.

by the way, if all 3 of your poems did appeal to natsuki, the poem she writes is nowhere near as BLATANTLY ROMANTIC as this one is. it most certainly doesn’t say anything about kissing

btw hey did you know that “yuri” also refers to lesbians

once again i think it’s probably obvious what i’m getting at here: the true end for natsuki and yuri is the two of them dating. hell, i’m pretty sure part of the route would involve mc and monika trying to play cupid-- monika is the one who tells you who your poem appeals to, after all, so why wouldn’t she try some matchmaking for her pals?

i imagine they do still have little spats every now and then, sure, but they’d learn to respect each other’s opinions long before they’d start dating, and the fact that they’re both passionate is what makes them work. while their writing styles are almost polar opposites, that just means they have a lot to learn from each other and could balance the other out when they take their style to an extreme that makes it hard to understand what they’re trying to get across, and i’m certain they could make a kickass story together

anyways, that’s all i’ve got to say for now, partly because i spent four fucking hours writing this post and partly because i gotta get back to staring into monika’s eyes. i added the monika after story mod because i cycled through all of her available dialogue in the vanilla game. i just want to be friends with her so bad

#doki doki literature club #ddlc #ddlc monika #monika ddlc #ddlc spoilers #i'm just tagging monika because most of this post is about her specifically #i do talk about the other girls too though #long post. like super fucking long. i went apeshit

sweet: has your f/o noticed something about you that no one else has? :3

Oh gosh yes, Natsuki is...very perceptive lol

This is. A bit heavy but the main thing he notices that others don't is when I get sensory overload or an anxiety attack in public, he takes me aside and helps me to calm down or he'll take me away from whatever's causing the anxiety/overload so I can calm myself down

As far as less intense things go he's also noticed how much I like to collect things! I have a few different collections, novelty baseball caps and buttons and shovelware or just weird ds games and that sort of thing, and he'll get me stuff he sees that he thinks I'll like! (Though I always tell him to wait until the hats are on sale, those things are expensive)

#it is. harder to answer things abt myself lol;;; #but thank you for sending something this was fun!!!

I first watched Summer Wars several years back, and I thought it was a great show. I especially loved the beginning where King Kazma showcased his skills and the end where Natsuki and the family played hanafuda and had epic KOI KOI moments. I liked how badass Granny was, and I liked how Sakuma was being the straight man and said, “What normal family has stuff like that” in reference to all the high tech gear. And of course, can’t forget how much fun it was to see the Nintendo DS in it as well.

But rewatching it now, many years later, there’s some scenes that I appreciate a lot more now. I said before that I liked the scene where Granny calls everyone. And I still do. But now I just think, “How many people has she impacted throughout her life?” It was touching to see how a simple phone call to someone can convey so much about what her relationships to those people were like. And how she knew exactly what to say to help inspire each person to keep doing their best in such a difficult situation. And you see how she kept every letter from every person and pictures and everything from the past. She truly cares about the relationship she has with people.

And then there’s the scene where Natsuki calls Wabisuke. You can hear how desperate she is in her voice and body language, all in the meanwhile Wabisuke is acting cool and shady. And then Natsuki finally stands up and gets Wabisuke to shut up. In an instant she dispels the facade that Wabisuke wore. Hearing that Granny passed away shakes Wabisuke to the core, especially since it was his creation that facilitated it. Natsuki goes on further to say that the password to his phone is Granny’s birthday, and that he came back specifically to be there for it. The whole interaction is so visceral and moving.

Finally, there’s the part where Granny’s last words are being read for everyone to hear. Prior to this, everyone was so fragmented, it seemed impossible to get them back together. Everyone prioritized different things, and they weren’t wrong to. They each had something that they saw as important, and went forward to take care of it. They were all looking out for the family in their own ways, the ways that they understood best. I understand where the women are coming from when they were focusing on the funeral because the most important person had just died and they have to move forward to represent the Jinnouchi family properly. But Granny raised them all to protect other people. That’s why you see the men with jobs in the police force, as firefighters, as doctors. And so when they go forward to confront Love Machine instead, they’re going along with Granny’s will as well. They’re all so fragmented, but their intentions are one and the same. And Natsuki understands this the best out of the lot of them. It’s why she immediately runs to the men once she finds Granny’s will. She knows it’s the one thing that will bring them all back together and heal hurt feelings. It’s why she goes and gets Wabisuke. No matter who they are or their circumstances, they’re family.

Oh and those three moments right there? Tears in my eyes.

xunxjustxjusticex said: B   :   BOUQUET.   does your muse like flowers? which ones are their favourite? (Sae, Natsuki, Ann)

@xunxjustxjusticex​

YELLOW ROSES. Truly, without a doubt. Sae didn't think twice about it. They'd ALWAYS been her FAVORITES. Ever since she's seen a bouquet of them sitting on the dining room table as a child. Prompting the EVER-INQUISITIVE girl to ask father what they were and why he had them. He had no clue. No answer. To him, they were just pretty. And brought a little LIFE & COLOR to the room. Natural, that HADN'T BEEN GOOD ENOUGH. Not for Sae. No. No. No. Thus, she'd ventured out on her own. Seeking answers that NOT EVEN HER FATHER knew. Turned out, the yellow rose stood for JOY -- DELIGHT. A symbol of friendship, allegiance, and love, enduring through times of crisis. With Japanese roses in particular representing SOLE BEAUTY. Historically, yellow roses had also been tied to JEALOUSY & INFIDELITY. A rather... IRONIC & UNSETTLING COINCIDENCE given her Shadow-self, and Makoto's divided affections as of late. Though, deep down, none of that could ever matter QUITE AS MUCH much to Sae as the NOW PERSONAL meaning of the yellow rose: A pretty golden flower, that brought LIFE & COLOR to any room they were in.
