This seems interesting, more likely than this: I’ve been toying with the idea that it’s Yotstuba from the future, like if she goes through all of this time traveling to help Uichi realize his worth and feel loved, then she gets “Childhood Friended” and that makes her resent him. It’d be a tragic way to end things with a twist, sure, but unexpected.

I love the careful balance of completely dark fucked up, and adorable preciousness.

 

[Cool.Ice]

Ig I will just make a new one

... And I thought he was atleast smart

 

[spons]

congrats on the job
quality's been stellar so far but I wouldn't mind lower quality cleaning as long as the tl's good

 

[Dingo777]

... And I thought he was atleast smart

Nah it’s pretty blatantly an idiot. He canonically can’t even spell hypocrisy

 

[Kaiofficialone]

What if she loses that watch....

 

[Kortez]

Why doesn't she just straight up ask him? If he's that obsessed with her, (and she knows that) just give him a smile and ask. I doubt he could refuse her for long. She could then rewind time and move from there.

Playing the guessing game is long and tedious and she has an (admittedly scarily) obsessed psycho who would do anything she asked. As well as a way to rewind time so that he gives her all the info she needs without giving him any of the satisfying of actually interacting with her.

the mysterious person's gotta be her from the future future right?

Part of it is that he’s insane and unpredictable. A lot could happen to her before she could rewind the watch if she doesn’t play it right. I mean bro smashed Uichi’s head like a watermelon and went straight for the kiss, who knows what he might do if she shows him direct affection

Yotsuha...is starting to gain sociopathic tendencies.

 

[matcap]

What if...and just hear me out now...What if Yae's collaborator is actually an alternate Yostuha from some future timeline?

Now that would be a fucking twist...Well, maybe not so much now that I've said it.

i didn't wrote it, but this chapter is one of worse quality ones. In short im just speedrunning everything.

Watching the person you love(?) die over and over again has got to do something pretty awful to your mental state (which I think we're kind of seeing in this chapter) but it would be a real paradox given the inciting incidents for Uichi's bullying seem to stem from this collaborator in the first place rather than Yae. I feel like the implication is that Yotsuha wouldn't even need to be saving Uichi if that person didn't exist, which would prevent the whole time-travel thing to begin with (meaning any resentment based on the time-travelling wouldn't occur). Obviously any time-travel plot can get really into the weeds and fucky when it comes to this stuff, so nothing is really set in stone. (Also I have a hard time imagining a future Yotsuha wanting to torture her past self like this, she's the one suffering the most at this point, not Uichi)

Watching the person you love die a horrible death over and over does that to a person. Estimate about 5 more passes before she just says fuck it and tries to kill god

 

[Dragoonx]

Hmm...I think his sister is the culprit 🤔
