TOKYO DEBUNKER SPOILERS THROUGH HOTARUBI
Okay, so, that was worryingly normal.
The mission went off nearly without a hitch, Zenji is a ghost, Lyca is getting released, Subaru's bit "secret" is that his power isn't exactly what he said it was, Haku is probably the Traitor but besides that he didn't do anything concerning, I just.
No disturbingly visual depictions of gore. No incredibly immoral actions taken by any of the characters. Just a charismatic celery stick, a shy ex-actor, and an eccentric ghost.
Something terrible is going to happen next episode. I can feel it. This is like the calm before the storm. The storm of gore. And murder. And was that a vampire? That was a vampire at the end there.
I'm scared. I'm excited, but I am so incredibly on edge. Either the writers realized that the first few chapters were a bit much, (god I hope that's not what happened,) or this is fake and something terrible is going to happen. I really hope it's the second one.
I love this game. I can't shut up about it.
HOTARUBI SPOILERS FOR TOKYO DEBUNKER!!
Just made my way to like, the middle of the Hotarubi chapter. I think. I'm so pissed.
"they're so nice" I said, "I'm so glad this is the dorm I got placed in!" I said.
Little did I know. They're all fucking liars.
Just got formally introduced to Zenji, I thought both the other Hotarubi ghouls could see him but apparently until now it's just been Towa(?) and Haku. I feel like Zenji doesn't have much to hide besides, well, his existence, so he's off the hook.
And Haku? I am very convinced he's still hiding some shit. He's too suspicious. No-one is just *like that.* There's something about him that, despite him being so nice and welcoming and blah blah blah, just puts me off.
But SUBARU? Oh I'm mad about that one. Wdym he LIED? What was he lying about??? Why Lyca was in there? How long he's been in there? Who put him in there? Which is the lie?
I feel like it has to be the reason. I mean, come on, "accusations of murder"? Off the top of my head I can name two CONFIRMED murderers going to DA. Both of which are captains. One of which killed A TEACHER. If a confirmed murderer can be a captain, why wouldn't one be able to attend? That's kinda way lower than being a captain.
And I know he said "werewolf" was the reason, but that still makes no sense. I'm trying to stay away from spoilers, but I have learned one thing through fan content, and the Obscuary captain is a vampire, right? Wouldn't that directly mean he has to harm/kill people to stay alive? Why would one cryptid be allowed to kill and not the other?
All that to say, Subaru is a manipulative conniving SOB so far (though I'm sure something is going to change my mind as I continue playing) and all the Hotarubi ghouls (minus Zenji, so I guess just two of them) are lying their ASSES OFF to this poor girl who just wants to NOT DIE in a year. I love this game.
