A long while ago my friend gifted me Code Vein, so I’ve recreated the best gentleman in it :D (Used this outfit mod - link - for more accurate look in NG+)

...and then, to ease the post-V3 angst, I played while projecting the narrative that he got isekaied there after Ch4. And boy oh boy, did the CV plot ended up fueling that notion. There were some tropes and elements that - although obviously the similarities were superficial - felt... relevant, if not downright karmic for Gonta’s character, given the context of his own arc.

Overall, fun times *:･ﾟ✧ ╰ (゜▽゜ )－
