no thoughts just rewrite au kaeangie

very specific context under the cut:

in a private circle we’ve been throwing ideas around for a v3 rewrite au for a while with protagonist kaede (and shuichi doesn’t die in chapter 1 either and plays a VERY different developmental role, but that aside), and to be as brief as I can about it, basically in chapter 3, angie committed a murder–but because it was the second murder (the first ‘murder’ was a suicide), it didn’t count and she got out of facing consequences. kaede was the one who ultimately resolved the trial and noted the application of the killing game rules that would spare angie from execution. so, angie survives and now considers kaede her guardian angel, and… it’s really something and honestly a hilarious dynamic. of course, angie truthfully feels crippling guilt under the surface and everyone else despises her. kaede is the only person she has, so there’s a lot more to it.
