the memory issue also nerfed me as an artist. i went thru a really ugly art phase in like 2022 because i was re-remembering what used to be muscle memory

i did develop weird drawing habits that made my art look the way it does now tho, LOL

it's affecting more than speech/writing abilities but often i have trouble finishing my sentences or remembering what i was trying to say when i start saying stuff. weh

i used to like writing, tho because of (insert thing here) my cognitive abilities got really bad and i can't think linearly a lot of the time....... it's been getting a lot better lately but it's never gonna be the same as before 💔

I'm not counting fanmerch only because my friends are always gifting me Kid Named Finger merch everytime there is a con ❤️

everything seems so overwhelming it really feels like everyone is inherently in the know about a lot of this. i'm observing purely because i want to give my ocs better clothing styles help

Of course she can't understand why Mafuyu is so afraid to lose "that belonging" with her mother. She can't even comprehend she lost "her belonging" with her own family because she wants to believe so hard that it'll go back to "how it was before".

Luka is right, she just can't see "it". 🥲

"When the memories pile up, the more it will hurt to lose them" (paraphrased from Kanade's grandma)

"If I don't think about my parents and how happy we were before my mother died and my father collapsed, then that happiness never left me, right?"

Oh, Kanade... :)

I'm assuming it'll go the way they did with Lost Child -> Goodbye to my Persona for Mafuyu. They plant the bomb here in Kana6, go through everyone's focuses to address the issue, then loop back to Kana7 to unleash the hounds

We're approaching (what we assume is) the 2nd age up. The bombs are planting in other units too. Kanade needs to think about her future and herself. She needs to realize she has agency over her life. She needs to realize what life will look like past where she is now. :)

I really liked the event. LonePi's commentary was pretty much spot on, "capture fleeting emotions in your heart, even when nothing extraordinary happens"

To ease people's hearts, it's everything I've ever wanted as a Kanade fan. A bomb has been planted.
