#my horror analysis and nature writing classes are about to fuse into something GREAT

[yakool-foolio]

So. How you feeling Neo?

I guess I'll be turning this ask into my nightly report. Here goes nothing.

(First Route, Completed)

...Where do I even begin? Where do I end? I guess it's best to just focus on the source of all my thoughts and feelings spiraling around me like a category 5 hurricane.

Eito. Oh, Eito. Born a hater. Forever cursed (or... blessed?) to see the world filled with creatures ignorantly ripping apart the planet that gave them life. They're all just rabid animals, biting and scratching at anything that moves. Senselessly bleeding the Earth dry of its resources. The most horrific of apex predators. Someone has to be at the top of the food chain to end all the needless suffering. Eito vowed to devour them all. He will stoop to their level of depravity to exact his punishment, but raise himself high above it all the same. He is just a cruel reflection of what humanity has wrought upon themselves.

Eito is the embodiment of merciless Death--the embodiment of War.

If his plans succeeded, nothing would remain standing other than him and the dying Earth. He would finally be one with Mother Nature, its last resort come to pass. Perhaps she wasn't even aware of his presence. Just another spider in the corner of the room. But while the Earth grew silent, Eito would always be there. Waiting. Savoring. A lone god. A moon forever caught in Earth's gravitational pull. Revolving. Fading. His purpose fulfilled. War is over.

I think touching grass would fix him he really just needs to not be locked up in a hospital for so many years. Let him run free in the woods.

HE'S GOTTA HAVE SOME MORBID FANSCINATION AT SOME POINT RIGHT??? HE WAS LITERALLY READING HORROR NOVELS FOR 'EXPOSURE THERAPY' CAUSE HE WAS MORE TERRIFIED OF THE HUMANS THAN THE SUPERNATURAL MONSTERS! I LITERALLY TOOK A WHOLE CLASS ON HORROR ANALYSIS FOR MY LAST UNIVERSITY SEMESTER I'VE BEEN TRAINING FOR THIS MOMENT I COULD WRITE A WHOLE POST ABOUT HOW THE HORROR GENRE'S CORE THEMES AROUND THE 'RETURN OF THE REPRESSED' CAN FIT PERFECTLY IN WITH EITO'S VIEW OF HIMSELF AND HIS DESIRES! I'LL PUT A PIN IN THIS I SWEAR!

The domestic horror subgenre would kill him on the spot.

Eito is very cartoonishly evil in presentation but I cannot deny he earned it (and ngl there are times where I've conjured a thought of hating humanity too because of how people treat each other we've all been there) through careful manipulation n sneakiness despite his fumbles here n there. Like bro got lost n almost gave up after disposing of Sirei. What a dork. Or who knows maybe he hid that he bet on Takumi going out to find him so he could be brought back to the academy and let their trust in him deepen further. He's just some guy who ascended through holier-than-thou hatred. Nobody does it like him.

Believe me I will also be writing a separate post about how the flaming ghost foils Eito by representing the genuine feelings Eito faked (or... denied?) for the other students and how they very well could be Life vs. Death if you squint hard enough with such little information about the flaming ghost. I'm trying my hardest out here I NEED TO KNOW MORE.

What a cliffhanger to end the first ending on, too! Looks like all's not well on the Artificial Satellite, just as I presumed. So many mysteries left to solve! Listen there's been no talk of the real moon anywhere which means my top secret Moon God Eito theory is still on the table!

OH and did I mention I've been listening to Brutus by The Buttress on loop lately-
