Oh my god are you the straight Eito guy...? My entire timeline was making fun of you and it made me sad because they started hating on Takumi/Darumi too.. Denying the romantic implications of Retsnom and everything....

Hmmhmm, sounds very interesting to me. I really liked Takumi having to face the consequences of his actions (everyone hating him and Nozomi scolding him made me also hang my head in shame while I was playing) and having no fix-all cure to his situation is great. He feels like shit, everything he's trying to protect has gone to shit and now there's a rift between anyone he can't fix because it's too awkward and too much work, but that's where Darumi comes in.

She has an aptitude when it comes to this type of stuff and with how she pep-talked Takumi about Nozomi and got them to make up, I'd want her to do the same with everyone else who was upset at him. Relationships are messy and a lot of work, and it would be fun to see Darumi play secret friendship wingwoman to fix the mood in the SDU without anyone knowing she has anything to do with it. Love seeing Takumi and Darumi work together for the betterment of everyone because it's a shared goal they have.

Ahah the SF offshoot.. I got so excited when Hiruko and Takumi hopped into the Retsnom verse and saw Takumi and Darumi hanging out. Maybe that could've been the start in him recalling past timelines and making an effort to bond with Darumi again and re-experience all those feelings without any of the lingering sadness. But then, Takumi felt very disconnected from the rest of the SDU in that route. Everyone else is having fun and the time of their lives while Takumi and Hiruko are going through the horrors. In this case, Darumi would definitely be offput by Takumi because why only now is he coming in? Can't exactly explain the alternate timeline stuff to her and even she'd think he's got a screw loose

And here's some of my Takudaru art, I like them..
