Now that I had the chance of reading this little story while actually being able to understand what's going on... . . . I am now really curious about the aftermath of Reimu killing her Boyfriend's friend in front of his eyes. We can assume that he still loves her despite being heartbroken, and that Reimu is deeply regretful of ruthlessly killing his friend in front of his eyes, but that whole trauma is probably still going to hurt like a bitch.

i'm sorry if i have more wild interpretation, pretty much he leaves Reimu and stop visiting the shrine, then at the ending when Reimu goes to the village to meet him, then only to find out that he already have a fine happy familly, then you can interpertate yourself from there...
i guess this is "what if" story what would happen if Reimu breaks one of the hakurei shrine maiden's rule
Well from my understanding, Reimu understood that her task as a shrine maiden is a terrible one. It became evident to her when she realized she wasn't just killing human turned yokai, but yokai that used to be human. The people she murdered had parents, brothers, friends... by all means their life had meaning despite being turned into yokai. Reimu must have finally realized this tragedy after killing his boyfriend's friends and hurting him a ton in the process. After all, she had killed them all so mercilessly too. And for better or for worst, he loved her so much he forgave her and even continued to love her despite hurting him. It must be maddening to realize you just hurt the one you love so much, yet knowing that there is nothing you can do to fix it, worse, nor can you stop it if it were to ever happen again. She's torn between love and duty.
The irony I find here is that she killed the monsters without a shred of mercy or doubt, that is, until she realized (thanks to Yukari) that she was a monster herself for what she had done. Reimu finally realized that her heroic duty was nothing more than a dark farse painted in gold. Your job is to be a machine and kill those who break the rules, that's it.
The end I interpret it like this. Reimu's lover lives in the village. After their daughter is born and grows old enough, Reimu finally pushed the responsibility on to her so she can finally live a normal life as a 'human' with her lover. Reimu really emphasize the word human, almost in sheer madness. It seems that she couldn't see herself as a 'human' as long as she was still a shrine maiden. After all, being a shrine maiden carries a heavy duty and a heavy conscious in its end. Her mother went mad in the end, and so did Reimu. They both probably had a whole life to look forward to with the man they love.
In the first place, how'd Red even MANAGE to silently takedown Provence?
Ambush. that's how. Red silently waiting (possibly while enjoying fluffy hip sheep). and then Provence come in, possibly lured by fluffy hip sheep. all Red need to do, was attack. and she did. Provence trauma do all the rest for incapacitating herself
Chino is Alice, Fuyu is Cheshire, Syaro is the White Rabbit, Cocoa is the Mad Hatter and Chiya is the Queen [of hearts]. I can't tell what role is Rize playing. Little help?
ive only just started book 2 of the story but the twistunes (rhythm sections of the game) are all great so far and its fucking criminal that the soundtracks not on any streaming service from what ive seen (in the us at least)
kanrin: its fucking criminal that the soundtracks not on any streaming service from what ive seen (in the us at least)
There are some of the songs on SoundCloud from what i could find. Also, due to the recent 4th anniv, they've released the official soundtrack on the twst jp page. Im glad more people are getting into the game, its really good.
one that was entirely too complicated and reliant on exact circumstances to succeed.
Reminds me of the German's Plan Z, which required the British to go: "See the Germans building massive ships? Carry on chaps, there's nothing wrong with that!'
