hot take.....sometimes i think yusuke and akechi are better narrative parallels than ren and akechi......like i think yusuke was a lot closer to ending up like akechi than ren ever was
SWAP AU ! #tshd Natsuki would've possessed Yoshiki after he took his own life. After his death, Hikaru finds the suicide note where Yoshiki confesses his feelings. I think Hikaru would've reread it many times before bed and would hardly forgive himself.

Special Message from the author of The Summer Hikaru Died:
"[…] I am deeply grateful to all the readers who appreciated The Summer Hikaru Died and engaged with it so sincerely. There are no monsters in this world, but I offer my blessings to those who still feel like monsters themselves".
a conversation I had made me realize this might not be obvious for people who don't often engage w/ analysis but the game often has a wealth of subtext (npc dialogue, environmental context, his texts + dialogue) that indicates that akechi is taking joker to date spots. On Dates.

I know ren’s glasses are fake in canon, but in this AU it’s real, and when he decided to show his “true self” he went back to wearing them again.
Akechi gets softer while ren gets more jaded as the semesters passed
