[crimson phantom yakumo intimacy room spoilers]

ok hi hey hello. i'm back with another post/essay because i've just formulated another few observations:

1) first of all, yakumo cries during his last intimacy room at several points. like he has animated tears roll down his face. i thought this was a neat detail. i managed to catch a screenshot which I'll include in the reblogs section of the notes so that there's no visual spoilers here.

2) in yakumo's first four Homecoming rooms, and I think in a few other places as well (I think mostly throughout the main plotline), he's referred to as being "warm." this is an interesting contrast with his most recent Crimson Phantom rooms, in which eiden refers to him as being "ice-cold" and implies at various points in time that he's naturally cold blooded.

now, the Cocoa Liqueur and Ocean Breeze ssrs have evaded me despite my best efforts, and I haven't unlocked the last Homecoming room yet, so I am missing some context, and this is just my best guess, but...

given that he also seems to generally angle his face or mouth so that his fangs are at least obscured, and in all previous versions of him, his eyes tend to have a bit of a "plausible deniability" about whether they have slit pupils or not (more "pill" shaped than actually pointed at the bottoms; gives a round enough quality that I didn't even realize they were longer than normal until it was pointed out)...

...i have concluded that all of these features showing up at once (fangs, slit eyes, cold blood) where there is evidence that they were absent or dampened before... means that this is yakumo's equivalent to kuya letting his ears out.
