[Derpthenerd]

you know it hurts when this sadist fuck is close to being sad

 

[CelestialGreen]

poor ryo...he’s had to keep this from kaizaki for so long, ik he would have told him in a heartbeat (if it wasn’t against the rules) to ease kaizaki’s worries he only wants the best for everyone 😭

[Entropy67]

Wont the experiment fail if they erase Hishiros memories of Kaizaki?

;-;

Damn, Yoake's look of anguish as Arata talks about his hope for a future with Hishiro is powerful, coming from someone that's almost always a smug kitsune-eye guy.

Honestly speaking, even if the experiment does totally wipe their memories of each other, leaving just a vague suggestion... I do kind of feel like the two support members could set them back up together anyway, try and send them to work at the same company, etc. The subjects only have their own memories wiped if they fail, not if they succeed, so they should still have a vaguely each-other shaped hole left in their life waiting to be filled. (The way it's been talked about up until this point, you'll still have memories of 'some person' being there, just not specifics. Like a childhood crush whose name and face you've forgotten. You remember they were there, but you can't remember who they were.)

Ignoring how illogical the memory wipe mechanics are to begin with, It's also not a rule thing. There's no reason the handlers can't explain what happened, that due to a quirk in the system their memories of each other were affected, and set them up to get back together. They could even have recordings, potentially.

That being said, I doubt the author has thought it through to this extent and will probably just go for a memory wipe bittersweet ending without really acknowledging the relatively simple ways of at least trying to deal with it.

 

[JustChar]

Other than setting them back up after their memory is wiped, your other arguments are flawed UXLZ, mainly cause the story doesn't say how their memory gets wiped, or why their memory of each other gets wiped, they just say it's impossible not to do it, and also telling someone forgotten memories is probably against company policy and with memory wiping technology that is not a good idea

 

[Nonnom]

won't an and yoake forget each other as well? and won't they forget about hishiro and kaizaki too?

won't an and yoake forget each other as well? and won't they forget about hishiro and kaizaki too?

Bit of necro here but eh this is MD forums anyways so why not - they're not part of the experiment, so no. Also Ryo kept his memory of Hishiro's first year as a subject so its pretty established that the support department gets to keep their memory. I have a theory that they do get their memory wiped at the end of their employment though. I suppose I'll see rather soon, only 26 chapters left....
