you can see, better, when you're not preoccupied with a particular trait you want.
i think this is a startlingly clear vision.

Summary
Akechi Goro is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Akira thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.
Kurusu Akira is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Goro thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.
And after all, there’s no time like the present. Why make a vague promise to stay in touch when they could seize the moment right after their first meeting? Why not make the first move before their opponent even realises the match has started?
It’s not like spending the day together could somehow change the game completely...
(OR: Akira accidentally speedruns Akechi’s entire confidant track on the day they meet, and opens up some new options in the process.)

Bookmarker's Notes
Dokja barely remembered himself. When he spoke, his voice was unrecognizable to himself: hollow, like all the cold inside the train had scraped out his insides and left him rattling with the echoes of the person he used to be. “How are you here?” he said.
“I’m Yoo Joonghyuk.”
A laughably arrogant answer. But it was something Dokja could believe in.
--haha. that's so true.
//
ohhh shit. this is theexplanation for the oldest dream i always needed.
//
"You tell yourself that you’re not good with them so you don’t hurt anyone when you’re inevitably right.”It’s an uncomfortable level of insight that Dokja didn’t fully realize Joonghyuk was capable of
--haha. that's so apt of a reaction.//
Dokja says, “I know you’re in love with me.”
//
---oh. that build-up was so well-done. i didn't expet dokja to think this (always dense, in fics). with the backdrop of a shaky reality that might not be real, i don't know what to expect next. it hit so impactfully.//
a) he is living in a dream, and the oldest dream is the stars beckoning him to return (no.)
b) he is the oldest dream's dream; a puppet. all of it is a dream, thought why would he also dream of himself talking to himself and interupting? // aww :( why. oldest dream, power.
//
c) (most boring): this is real, and the oldest dream is almost completely another entity.
// "Inside he can feel how hollow he is, as if all of his intestines and blood and marrow have been scooped out clean with a silver spoon."--why does it have to be silver?
/ nooo... not within the narrative...it'll still hurt him. it's a rejection. screwing up.
// hm. the 'it's real' is no longer the most boring option. it's the deep and interesting one.
// "the monster who believes himself a child," -- (almost like. the ugliness and immaturity of escapism, truly recognized.)
// oh my god the handling of two perspectives--and three potential realities--is so well-done. (oldest dream at pants scene).
// 'i'm you', yeah. // this is a gem. // (and the selfishness of being a consumer. a reader.)
// it fucks with me, doesn't it. hah meta in the way that you don't know what's the real setting.
// (i'm glad that the oldest dream himself is detracting from the 'seperate entity' concept. 'i'm you'. if it's a dream, it's dreaming of himself. if it's real, it's still 'him' and then, in some way, it's also still a dream. oh shit. there's only one fundamental reality, and it is dream.) (and if it IS real, he is still hallucinating massively.)
// (oh, shit. i. it's? both times. author's intentionally making it--the oldest dream's appearance is making dokja push everyone away.)
// who is the self-flagellating part of himself? // YEEEES there's a second chapter. oh, salvation."Never in The Ways of Survival did Joonghyuk spout flowery lines like this, dripping with sincerity.
But—maybe that’s his point. Maybe they’ve both grown up, and Joonghyuk has learned a thing about being tender, about being human. Maybe Dokja has no right to dictate what he does or doesn’t feel; at the end of the day, he isn’t just a reader and Joonghyuk isn’t just a character. They’re their own people."
---ohhh my gosh. they pulled away from the characters and into the humans. maybe the premise is too abstract to ever be as entrenched in 'realism' as i'd prefer, but this is amazing.“Do you think you deserve this?”
---ohh it was never a provocation. it was a check-in. wow. <3. AH. -
