so the past couple of days i’ve been having a realization.
there are parallels between ryoma and the criminal that shuichi helped to catch in the past
JUST LET ME EXPLAIN-
okay, so if you recall, near the beginning of the game shuichi explains in the past how a culprit he helped to catch and apprehend was someone who killed out of revenge.
and who else do we know, that killed someone out of revenge for causing the demise of his loved ones? hm? HM??
AND ONE MORE THING-
during both ryoma’s love suite scene and the scene where shuichi explains his backstory the same instrumental track plays- moon on the water.
ARE YA’LL PICKIN UP WHAT I’M PUTTIN DOWN-

The whole Vecna squad was writing down their favorite songs just in case. Everyone's giggling and poking fun at each other for their song choices and for a moment, it feels like they're all just normal people, teenagers, hanging out.
Steve passes the paper and pen to Eddie with a small smile. Eddie smirks back, he's so ready to tease Harrington to high hell because he knows he probably put down something by Madonna. He doesn't get the satisfaction though.
"Queen?"
Steve can't help but roll his eyes. "What? What's wrong with Queen?"
"There's nothing wrong with Queen. I just expected something closer to Like a Virgin from you, Harrington. Maybe even some Cyndi Lauper." The shit eating grin on Eddie's face was so wide it almost hurt.
"Well I guess you don't know me as well as you thought, Munson." Steve muttered as he crossed his arms and pouted. Seriously a full on pout. Lips downturned and puckered. Who even was this guy?
"If this had happened a year ago, Steve would've totally had to write down Into The Groove. Seriously man every single time be picked me up for school he was playing that fucking so-" Dustin was interrupted by a shove from Steve's foot. The man was blushing like crazy. Cute.
"Hey. No badmouthing Madonna, asshole. And stop telling everyone my business!"
They went back and forth as Eddie smiled something soft and scribbled down his own favorite song. This felt normal. Things felt ok.
"You're just another sucker ready for a fall"
Eddie's not sure why he was thinking about that moment right now. Maybe it's because it happened less than twelve hours ago and Steve had been ok. He'd been a little roughed up but he was fine. He'd been smiling and talking to Eddie. He was fine. So why was Eddie watching him be lifted up and away from him right now?
There was no warning. Or maybe there had been and Steve was too much of a fucking martyr to tell anyone. Eddie felt helpless as Steve's feet left the ground. Nancy, with her quick reaction time and lack of hesitation, had managed to get the headphones on Steve's head before he started levitating. Dustin was holding on to the Walkman for dear life as the tape inside played.
"You gotta fight from the inside, attack from the rear"
"Ya know, the song is kinda perfect for this. The theme of it is scarily fitting. You plan this somehow, Harrington?"
Steve had laughed when Eddie said that. A beautiful and deep laugh.
"No I didn't plan it, man. My timing with shit is just perfect."
And that had made Eddie roll his eyes. This guy really was full of himself huh? Fuck. Eddie was absolutely gone on him.
Steve kept rising.
He kept getting farther and farther away and every centimeter of distance between them set Eddie's nerves on fire.
"Fight from the inside, you can't win with your hands tied"
It really was a different kind of agony to have someone you care about suffering within arms reach yet not being able to do a damn thing. All they could do was press play and hope that the music reached him.
All that was left to do now was wait. Wait and pray that Steve could find his way back to them.
"Fight from the inside, right down the line"

i have a question for other people out there who may be like me and have a taste in music that is confusing, weirdly specific, random, inconsistent, and really hard to explain to other people; HOW do you go about finding new music? do you have a method that's successful most of the time? or do you, like me, just keep desperately listening to playlist after playlist and album after album and hoping to get lucky by finding a song or two?
when people try to give me recs they ask me what genres i like and i just say "nothings off limits" but it's not in a "i'll listen to anything" kinda way, it's that there's just something about certain songs that makes my brain go "YES" and every genre has the potential to have some songs that scratch that itch. pretty sure genre actually has little to no bearing on what i like.
there's a few specific genres i end up listening to quite a bit more than other genres but i don't think that's cause there's actually anything "special" about them for me, i think it's just kinda incidental and a result of how spotify will be like "oh you liked a few songs from this one specific genre?? so it's your favorite genre???? you want to hear nothing but songs from this genre for the rest of time????" and so the vast majority of my recs on spotify are just from these few genres and i've just fallen into a loop of them. i don't even end up liking the vast majority of songs that get recommended to me anyway, and whenever i go to ANY genre-specific playlist i only end up liking a couple, if even that many. so yeah it doesn’t seem like genre matters at all.
i think it's more about the rhythm/melody/vibe of a song (and maybe it could have something to do with the bpm of a song but idk) but there still doesn't appear to be much consistency for me. like spotify has the playlists that are like "chill mix"/"energetic mix"/"moody mix"/etc. and it's the same as when i listen to a genre mix. i CAN find songs i like in any mix but i'll still maybe only like 1 song for every 25 i listen to. and it's also the same with artists and albums in general.
like basically i think the problem boils down to how there's no way to label my taste. like there's no key words or phrases for me to use to tell people or search engines what i'm looking for.
my best bet is just showing people the songs i like, and seeing if they can hear some kind of pattern, and can give me recs based on that. this is what i do with my sister, cause she's also kinda the same, having an inconsistent and indefinable taste in music, and the things we like overlap a little so i tend to get good recs from her, but that's obviously also dependent on her being able to find new songs, which doesn't happen a lot.
i don't usually have the ability to just ask someone who kinda understands my taste to give me recs, and when i do there's no guarantee they'll even have any, and i wanna find a way to be able to search for new music on my own.
