cliff's notes: after the Another Ending movies, Kuroto has Yet Another Fucking Resurrection Plan in the form of a visual novel about Emu's backstory, Emu tries to clear it but fucks up due to trauma so the others have to piece it together to save him

it turns out Emu's family life Sucked because his dad is simply just awful

2024-10-14T04:38:43.000Z
each rider has a POV chapter where they go through a particular scene from Emu's life

... Kiriya's POV chapter is really gay you guys.

2024-10-14T04:40:50.000Z
like they're all pretty good, I really enjoyed each character POV, Taiga's especially is unexpectedly hilarious because my god the inside of that man's head is ridiculous actually

but like.
skerple
2024-10-14T04:42:09.000Z
so Hiiro and Taiga both witness scenes that are like, really deeply concerning in terms of what they say about the relationship Emu has with his dad (or, tbqh, doesn't have)
skerple
2024-10-14T04:42:33.000Z
and they're both like 'so.... this seems..... bad'
skerple
2024-10-14T04:42:45.000Z
'but I don't.... think I have the right to say anything about it?'

'I'm an outsider to this situation I can't criticize another person's family circumstances it's not my place'

that very Japanese staying-in-my-lane, you know
skerple
2024-10-14T04:44:33.000Z
however, Kiriya
skerple
2024-10-14T04:44:59.000Z
sees a direct interaction between Emu and his father
skerple
2024-10-14T04:45:04.000Z
Emu's dad says some shit
skerple
2024-10-14T04:45:22.000Z
and Kiriya instantly loses his cool and tries to throw hands
skerple
2024-10-14T04:48:19.000Z
the game world specifically does not allow players to interact with any characters other than Emu. Kiriya knows this. he has observed this.
skerple
2024-10-14T04:48:23.000Z
it does not stop him.

get em Kiriya
skerple
2024-10-14T04:49:23.000Z
HE REALLY REALLY WANTED TO
skerple
2024-10-14T04:50:38.000Z
worth noting also is that, in that particular scene, Emu's dad was in the hospital with pneumonia
skerple
2024-10-14T04:51:49.000Z
so Kiriya is not only trying to punch a character he can't interact with, he's trying to punch a sick man in a hospital bed
skerple
2024-10-14T04:52:14.000Z
because this bitchass punk tried talking shit to Emu
skerple
2024-10-14T04:55:19.000Z
what I'm saying is kiriemu is real as fuck

it absolutely understood how to write Kiriya properly
skerple
2024-10-14T06:31:21.000Z
it's really funny because like. the early parts of the novel feel like they're REALLY pushing Emu/Poppy, and the opening chapter even kind of tries to straightwash Kiriya
skerple
2024-10-14T06:31:44.000Z
and then Kiriya's POV on Emu is like, just drastically different than anyone else's
skerple
2024-10-14T06:32:08.000Z
it's VERY noticeable

2024-10-14T06:33:10.000Z
When I think about it, Emu has been that way since the first time we met.

[...]

But I was attracted to his straightforward purity. I thought that Emu was the only one who would be suitable as a partner to ride Lazer Level 2 in motorcycle form.

…It had to be you.

It’s the last corner of the race.

The checkered flag is almost here.

Emu, wait for me. We’ll treat you with our own hands.

I’m going to save you.
