Re: [1521] Letting stuff happen

One might consider claims (that examples of Kimiko not being direct, calm, fair or honest with Piro are anywhere nearly as numerous, to the extent, or as impactful as those examples involving Miho) as those claims being jokes, from a more fringe standpoint, skewed, a trick, or otherwise not actually...

Re: [1521] Letting stuff happen

What makes it hard for me to extend that all the way to Miho "loving" Piro is the way she chose to end that relationship. The whole situation back during Endgames (both in the game and in the chat) seems unresolved in a lot of ways, and somewhat unclear in both Piro and Largo variously retelling it...

Re: [1521] Letting stuff happen

Sometimes it's difficult to tell the difference between {things like slow, hesitant, unsure, self-conscious, tentative, worried} and disinterest. Still, things like 372, 613, 664, 953 might tell some of that part of that story. Whatever baggage Piro has isn't necessarily impactful on that in and of ...

Re: [1521] Letting stuff happen

To IG's point, at least at the start of Endgames, before anyone knew anything about anyone had nothing to do with love, it was all apparently manipulation. Maybe there's something we don't know yet though. Or a whole lot of something. We might have an easier time of knowing what Kotone is going thro...

Re: [1521] Letting stuff happen

That's going a tad too far IMO. Or you're being sarcastic here, I can't tell reliably. I don't think it's too far and I'm not being sarcastic. Although a bit flippant by saying it's nice, but that's in jest. There are a lot of things Miho might want to talk to Piro about, none of us know for sure w...

Re: [1521] Letting stuff happen

How much is Kimiko (who quit acting like Miho, which she apparently had been doing on purpose rather than being forced into it by story) herself. How much is Piro settling for what is rather than what he really wants, whatever those are. At the least, the two have been working on getting a collabora...

Re: [1520] What I've been feeling

Re: [1520] What I've been feeling

Not at all ignoring that. Agreed. Certainly Kimiko was pretending to be, acting as, dying for, replacing Miho. Substituting for Miho. Portraying Miho, to those needing the proper story ending Miho's expected demanded required demise that Miho keeps not having. Except for all the main players who wer...

Re: [1520] What I've been feeling

Perhaps the key part of that is not answering the question "what sort of reaction does a usual person have when the psychic and physical link to their actress and their old on-line love interest gives them emotional and physical reactions as well" (since probably no usual person has an actual direct...

Re: [1520] What I've been feeling

But it would be Miho's mind going ewww. A reaction more akin to that of the expected/perceived and actual company she's keeping, regardless of her physical age. (rather than the physical state itself is causing the reaction mental as well) Perhaps we should say that most of what Miho does isn't like...

Because it isn't something 14 year old girls would do around boys or adults? Not that Miho is, but none of us having met an Analogue, in this sort of story environment or otherwise, who can tell for sure. Perhaps an MT example is more like the Asako option Yet that's not as much a reaction to becomi...

Re: [1520] What I've been feeling

Ah thanks, Ping thought Ed creepily testing her is a scenario in the Catalyst game, right. Which her reaction there the next day is vaguely remembering him, so seems she's not got too much of a notion. For Miho it still looks somewhat like she's somewhat entered a sort of young teenage girl scenario...

Re: [1520] What I've been feeling

On another note, Miho here seems almost reacting to cooties, in some way akin to as if she's never been physical, which is certainly impossible, isn't it? Although not being able to handle a type of feelings she's never experienced might suggest this is her first time out in reality actually interac...

Then the many seemingly large incongruities in stories brought about The Horde, masses of people from everywhere somehow psychically extranaturally appearing as ...

We've got Miho the supranatural ur-example something or another out in the world when she's supposed to be in fiction, allegedly. Takes a heart attack (that she appears to have essentially given herself; it's her idea to take Piro on the demonstration after all), a pacemaker install, and is up and t...

Curious, no idea of what might happen if she let Kimiko die for her, no inkling Piro (who she clearly knew was there, having gotten him thrown out of the room) would be involved, is just now figuring out she'd been experiencing everything that has been happening today since Kimiko, who has been play...

Well who actually knows how much time did Miho spend alone after Junpei left, before Enji started changing her clothes? she totally could have dozed off for a bit. We don't actually know how long it takes to drive from the hospital to The Foxhole too. We know that Junpei brings Yakugashi to her aft...

Re: [1519] Everything to do with me

Lots of things are possible between 1461 and 1513/1514. It's just not too convincing from reactions it's anything good. As far as that goes, in 1461 Kimiko doesn't appear to be in any calm mood, she's acting the tragic heroine professing her love just before she dies. Then also right in 1461 we also...

Miho's reactions seem more like revulsion. What might be expected from people walking all over your grave when you're still alive. Or in thinking about what vis just said.

Yes it looks like once you start to have consumers paying attention to you and your portrayals, there appears no longer much if any control by the performers over what those consuming works think of the work or life, who is who and what is what. Which it would seem the first fan of Kimiko's was Piro...

Re: [1519] Everything to do with me

Oops yes the good catch was not 1461 6&7, but 7&8. Miho noticing and reacting to something important big odd (new, unsettling, eldritch, good, uncomfortable, melodramatic....) in the stories. But no, yes indeed, clearly Piro had realized already in 1460 panel 8 it was not Miho, all before Kimiko sai...
