i’m drawing and also kinda bored so i present my current thoughts on kotone’s world in okwd!
there are 3 main differences between these world
1) kotone lived where minato would have - kotone and minato are twins! the night of the accident in her world, kotone wanted the other car seat and they switched (throw in some survivors guilt, it absolutely fucks with her). by extension, shinjiro lives and manages to get treatment. kotone is the only other person to leave the theater remembering it, and ends up trying to find young akira and adult yosuke to warn at least him (because she found out about the relation)
2) rei amamiya lived - as labeled, rei wasn’t murdered! the night she would’ve died in okwd canon, yosuke got really sick and she stayed with him instead of going out. her father still ends up dead, body scattered where no one ever found this time, and rei got to meet akira! consequently, the kurusu-amamiya family stayed in tokyo, akira grew up with their mom, maybe wakaba lived? and akira didn’t end as the leader of the phantom thieves
3) the presence of ren amamiya - ren is of no known relation to rei. they are a foster kid, dumped in as a baby and named by their first caregiver(ren is amab where akira is afab, but both are gender-fluid/nonbinary). ren did exist in okwd, but was never adopted and actually died in one of the mental shutdown incidents. in kotone’s world, ren was actually adopted by yukichie! (i’ve got some other p4 related stuff in kotone’s world, but the short vers. is that while yosuke still left, everything ended on better terms)
so in kotone’s world, the leader of the phantom thieves ends up being a more ‘canon accurate’ ren amamiya! akira’s there, they even have a persona (still arsene? that would mean ren gets someone different, probably a shinto deity like his moms) and they act as kind of a black mask fake out.
but the final part is this:
while this world doesn’t have the full force of azathoth (consumer of the multiverse) bearing down on it, a not corpse puppet maruki, better and more fighters, and so on, something just goes wrong. nyx breaks the seal prior to the deadline while kotone’s free, and the fall happens. with the 3-5 cast all gathered together in one place, world crumbling to ash, kotone does the one thing she can do.
and screams into shared mind space of her and the akira she knows
