[Hereafter] Chapter CXV: A Sleep Like Death
Added 2023-08-20 04:54:20 +0000 UTCAt the risk of having the entire thing happen off-screen...
Yeah. Ritsuka might wind up having to do this thing by himself. With only Jalter there to help him, because he can't summon Shadow Servants, so he needed to have some assistance.
Honestly flip-flopped a little on where that'll go. Given what's shown on-screen about that curse? Sending Taylor in to help might make things even worse.

Could Shakespeare’s Noble Phantasm enable them to OBSERVE events inside?

2023-10-01 19:20:47 +0000 UTCI for one am very glad to see Ritsuka getting a chance to sign. Rika tends to overshadow him a fair deal, and Taylor is such a force of personality that he tends to just disappear a bit. Be good to see what exactly he's capable of.

2023-08-21 11:33:49 +0000 UTCThis is especially funny because Dantes would fucking DESPISE Taylor. She is basically nothing but excuses and justifications: He only respects people that live without excuses. Ritsuka doesn't excuse his actions, he owns them. He doesn't justify his actions with "being a good person", he just wants to do them so he does them. Sure, he likes doing good, but he doesn't tie that to an overarching metagoal of being a good person.

2023-08-20 09:52:32 +0000 UTCThat "whale" with the water droplets is an artistic interpretation of a certain space whale isn't it? Shakespeare is writing Taylor's story! Also considering how the whole chateau d'if curse is supposed to work, I was under the impression that the target was actually supposed to be Taylor from the start and Ritsuka just soaked the blow due to his particular susceptibility to it. They were all in the same room before Ritsuka started showing symptoms, and Taylor is both the presumed higher value target due to her experience, leadership position, and status as a member of Team A compared to "seat fillers" like the twins. Sniping her with a curse is just all around a worse blow than one of the twins since they'd be easier to deal with conventionally and they'd suffer a huge blow to moral from losing her in general and as a leader. Lastly compared to a pair of "normal kids" like the twins someone like Taylor would obviously have more and worse regrets than they do for the curse to try and kill her with just at a glance even if you didn't know the specifics of her background.
