Damn, Himiko and Keebo down in the first trial. Sad to see 'em go, even if the former was a canon survivor and the latter only died at the very end. It's always bittersweet when the original victims and culprits are changed/swapped out since it just means someone else has to die in their place. I grow to like most of these characters, so it's tough seeing them bite the bullet. At least the consolation is seeing how would-be corpses progress throughout the rest of the story.
Speaking of which, nice to see Miu utilize her skills and actually contribute to the trial in a meaningful way (while still being the vulgar girlfailure we all know and love lol). I also really dug her uplifting speech to Keebo and not faulting him for essentially being a slave to his programming. Kinda reminds me of my own fic with a genius inventor who loves robots. It's a shame their friendship got cut off too short in this timeline, especially now that Miu is aware everyone doesn't like her (that "fuck you guys too" line was golden haha). Curious to see where she'll go from here and how this affects her.
I love the idea of there being a drawing app for the students to use to literally illustrate their points. That seems like a clever in-universe explanation for them to have instead of like...Psyche Taxi or whatever the fuck. And the image of them trying to figure out how to screen share evidence on the big monitor was priceless and relatable. Any longer and they might've had to ask Monokuma to look up a tutorial on YouTube lol. Miu must've been screaming internally during that (or maybe she just wanted to see non tech-savvy people suffer, who knows).
Btw, I forget to ask this in my last comment, but that binary message on the first chapter that I translated...did you just paraphrase a section of the FNAF 6 Henry speech? It wasn't exactly the same, obviously, but I recognized the general gist of it. Maybe that's foreshadowing for later somehow, but I'm fairly certain it was at least inspired from the iconic FNAF speech.
I agree with you on that first part. It's honestly tough to send someone to their death, especially when it's a character you wish could hang on a little longer but just can't for the sake of the story.
Miu really is at her best when she brings her skills to the table while keeping her potty mouth in the process. She's very fun to write for that reason. Unfortunately their friendship is indeed cut off early in this universe. Poor Miu. Now who's supposed to be her friend?
Having a drawing app seems like such a must to me likevfnsvnd some scenarios must be so hard to just explain like that. I'd like to think Miu was both cringing out of their inability to do simple Bluetooth while being greatly amused at the same time
100% right on the Henry speech! I tend to get inspired a lot by audios/shows/songs and they'll then pop their head up in my fics
