I didn’t think we had stumbled onto one of the best dynamics in the whole MP when I first wrote that writefag. Somehow, all three of us understood this relationship in the same way and everything is working out perfectly. I NEED to write more Ai. She’s such a cool character. I wanted to add a bit to this, from Kaoru’s perspective.

Kaoru isn’t quite sure whether to call Ai a friend either — she’ll externally call her a friend to others, yeah, but she sees her in a similar way to how Ai sees her. Not quite a leash, but someone she’s forced to trust. And that’s making her go nuts. Someone so unreliable, who could go off at any second — worst possible friend for a person with trust issues. Kaoru tries to hold Ai together, for her own sake and Ai’s, almost at the same level, but in a way she wishes she COULD be friends with Ai, with SOMEONE, without pretensions. I thought that moment where Ai said Yae would figure it out, and that hurt Kaoru, that was perfect because maybe in the back of her mind, Kaoru might’ve innocently trusted Ai to value her judgement at that level, and that stab would STING.

I kinda wanna see these two become genuine friends eventually, but I want to flesh out Scarlet Senshi’s activities in Bleeding Zones first. I want to show her off fighting enemies, helping other people and then vanishing before they could figure out who she is. I wanna write some Light/Kira shit with Yae. I wanna write some Census Club shit with Alyona. I think Takaishi might be fun to write about, even, he might be a pretty good ship for Kaoru in the long run NGL. Not even memeing. I’d have to kill myself. I don’t think I have liked an MP this much since I started doing this.
