WHO EVEN KNOWS ANYMORE MAN. ngl ive never cared about the arcland conflict coming back but i guess i kinda have to now what with asahi pulling an arata and literally running away to god knows where. i mean he obviously seems to be having some sort of parallel arc with realizing he wants friends to stand alongside and whatnot, but idk how they’ll approach it. last event they are like “go find himself man.” so…..maybe? we gotta go track down this freak. i do like the mental image of the parallel arc but also what the fuck can rui do about this. yeah he can provide some personal wisdom but it’s not like he can be twilight sparkle and be like You Can Come With Us And Make Friends ♥️ other thing on the forefront of my mind is sakaki’s overseas offer which . in regards to the offer i do hope they go to see something like west end theater and not broadway. i feel like we talk so much about broadway. there are other huge theater hotspots around the world. i do sorta get stuck on where rui’s arc would be in an event like this though, unless sakaki’s like. evil as fuck or something and is like 😏only some of you can go😏 but that makes zero sense. i feel like an event about choosing to go overseas would be more properly given to….anybody else in the unit but i don’t know how much longer we can keep dragging the “oh they’re done with the workshop but they’re STILL AT ARCLAND AND IN TALKS ABOUT THIS!” shtick. but i think the asahi thing is more likely cause that’s rui’s dedicated npc bug.

also i think def either 5.5 or golden week lim. go my ruinenemeiko
