Re: [1510] I guess I'll have to stop...

I don't think so. Remember, it's Piro, he'll figure out a way to c*ck block himself. He does not have to do anything hardly anything, just let Kimiko take the helm and sail that ship thru the night right into port and slip it into a safe, little birth. Piro's penchant for inaction is his best ally ...

Re: [1509] - "the floor is lava"

Except, there are a few accumulated details that would really determine, what kind of ending will Piro's story be like :- - the effect of ninjaediting of Miho's story (and/or Yaku's paw on it) - the 'polygon bump' (that Miho only just learned about, and Kimiko still doesn't know) - or maybe another ...

Re: [1510] I guess I'll have to stop...

May I ask what that belief is based on? Well, I try very hard not to be party to inside info regarding the story, including this kind of thing. This is me interpreting the story as best I can. For the pro-case for why I think Piro and Miho love each other, I'd point you to madbadgers tumblr posts. ...

Re: [1510] I guess I'll have to stop...

Umm... is everyone really just accepting Kimiko's claim of "acting" as Miho at face value? My first thought was that this was Kimiko's excuse to distance herself and protect herself emotionally about Piro's reluctance and hesitation to do more with her. In fact I thought that was so obvious that I ...

Re: [1510] I guess I'll have to stop...

I can't help but notice that in panel 5 Kimiko's "gown" was tied in the back, but a couple panels later it's falling off like it's untied. Also, Kimiko doesn't even seem to notice. Did Piro just develop ninja skills? It's more like, the fabric is flapping all around with motion, moving up and down,...

Re: [1510] I guess I'll have to stop...

The first allows for a relationship. The second would be hell. I think this might be part of why the Ninja got the kill order; Whoever issued it is terrified of the second possibility and they want to revert the change while they still can . If the fans go this way and force her into that role, the...

Re: [1510] I guess I'll have to stop...

see how Piro is totally non-responsive when Kimiko enacts her version of what she thinks Miho is feeling and what Miho would do Kimiko's performance is for the horde, and maybe for herself in some ways. But Piro doesn't see her as Miho for a single second. That is part of his confusion, and why he'...

Piro has been hurt, but he still oves Miho and they are (slowly and haltingly) finding their way back toget...

Re: [1262 Flashback] What become of Piro's old laptop ?

I'm not convinced :) laptops of the kind in 2001 were built like tanks, over engineered... also electronics even if dead, doesn't mean someone can't pull the hard drive out. Also, i don't think the DJ booth was near to Kenji's office (I think it actually was on the opposite end of the CoE)... so EMP...

Re: [1510] I guess I'll have to stop...

Poor Kimiko. While actors do portray characters, in order to make them “real,” they must put a bit of their own emotion into them. Even method actors begin building their character’s world view from within themselves. For a short time, Kimiko got to be the woman Piro loved. Now she has to stop. Loo...

No, of course you are right here. We're being too binary in this 'selection'. I think I wanted to say something similar in response to what iffy wrote, but got too sidetracked to make it come out right. ...

So that reluctance ... All of it ... Was him playing the 'i was badly hurt by that girl you are playing, you remind me too much of her ' card ? I guess yeah, Kimiko should feel happy of his response.

Re: [1509] - "the floor is lava"

Another example of Miho's covered feelings for Piro, (1283) panel 4 and 5. Her reaction to him not being even physically attracted any more, genuinely sad. Him - not very amused either, but not as sad as she is.

So the title prettymuchsaysitall, Yuki and Yutaka left Piro's laptop (the one with pixxx and chat logs) in Kenji's office. As seen in [1340] CoE has collapsed, but could the office have survived?

I do not disagree with that it happened - my point is more about finding 'why' all of this had to happen; So the explanation I thought about, that's turned taboo now, is extremely caustic and playing on the lowest levels.

So, an ultimatum between making a choice or be gone from this game.

Twisted but omg. Or otherwise Dom ...

One thing is more certain though. Piro has not been treating Miho anything like he's been treating Kimiko.
