Shut up.

I don't think people livestream Nintendo 3DS without equipment and expensive/obnoxious jury rigging, so, screw that, even if I wanted to. I will update this post throughout playing on my commentary etc.

TAKUMI/CORRIN

[sincere]

Takumi is being extremely standoffish with Corrin, even though she wants to get to know him. He explains that they were raised worlds apart and don't have much in common, and she grew up with the enemy, so he can't trust her even though she's his sister. She bullies him into teaching her archery, but it's slow going and Takumi is a very exacting teacher. Her hand slips and she gets injured, but she tries to ignore it and keep going. Takumi feels bad for being so cold to her. He later on finds her taking care of her bow and regretfully admits that he's witnessed her dedication to fighting for Hoshido and he will be less of a dick in the future. 3/5


If you do the S rank scene, Corrin is whooping with joy over her latest archery accomplishment, and Takumi tolerates it. But she's ready to keep training with him! Takumi hesitates and tells her awkwardly that he loves her. BUT IT'S NOT ACTUALLY INCEST. Queen Mikoto left a letter with Takumi that she told him to open if he ever worried about the woman he fell in love with, thanks to her gift of prophecy. It reveals that King Sumeragi is not actually Corrin's father -- Mikoto already had an infant child when she met him, and he raised Corrin as his own, and he died for her so he obviously loved her, but wasn't LITERALLY her dad. It seems strange that no one, including Sumeragi's existing children, noticed that their new queen had an existing child when she married the king, but whatever. So Sumeragi is everyone else's father, but not Corrin's, and Mikoto was Corrin's mother, as far as we know, but most of his children came from his previous wife. Maybe all of his children? Am I supposed to believe that Corrin is younger than Sakura? Or did Sumeragi have multiple simultaneous wives? Ugh, idk. Moving on.

Takumi struggled with telling this to Corrin because he didn't want to undermine her family bonds with them. But he can't exactly pretend to be her brother when he feels this way about her, so. And Corrin reassures him that they're all still precious to her, and... she had some forbidden feelings that are no longer forbidden herself. "Let's give it a shot. What's the worst that could happen?" Corrin asks. lol. Support: Technicalities ftw.
