Darumi would never
Instead she would invite Takumi over for game night & chill, except the game is a dice roll between a gore or porn game

Yeah, no argument it's rough all the way around, really. She definitely was putting on an act to make it easier on him. How Darumi Felt goes all into how it was acts within acts, and honestly, even me reading it was fooled into assuming it was a stereotypical 'Retsnom is just faking being Darumi badly' bit. I was really pleasantly surprised with how up-to-interpretation they left it.
Though conversely, that also adds a strange sort of positivity to We Are One too, I think. On the surface, it comes off as a super uncanny valley, bad end, everybody is just a shallow mockery of their actual selves deal - but the route itself has theming to not just go off of surface readings. It's very easy, probably intentionally so, to view the plan to bring everybody into the Retsnom fold as a bad thing, but ultimately, Darumi is doing it because she actually believes it'll make Takumi happy and end all the fighting. Even at the very end, all we really have to go off is them mentioning that 'it's what they remember feeling like'. It's up to the reader to draw their own conclusions over how much of 'them' is still them, if they all have individual will to go with their memories or if it's just a LARPing act, or whether it really even matters at all.
I just think the route is super neat and offers as many reasons to feel good about each ending as they do reasons to feel bad, huge props to the writer
