WAIT. i was gonna follow up the briar road post with another arisa post because that’s just what i do now i guess but i suddenly remembered this from yukina’s umbrella 4* special episode … ouch. ouch this reads so differently with hindsight

Exhibit A of yukina having a very deep understanding of people and their struggles but just. flashback reel of her doing the complete opposite of coexisting with her problems. she attained the resolve to in a song unfinished but who says having resolve is enough or that it’ll translate into action? numerous anime protags boo at me. oh god she is so valid. she sees things so clearly and yet

also once i tried to compare yukina to hamlet and uh that may sound very odd but no really. the duty vs desire and saying they have the resolve to do something and not being able to do it while also having banger takes on humanity but somehow managing to make a colossal mess and i Know i sound insane but bs3 gives me the same feeling the entirety of hamlet gave me as a high schooler. like watching a train run itself off a cliff and Oh God Stop Making Bad Decisions Please We All Know How This Will End

… i’m so sorry i need to be physically restrained
