am i cooking

will figure out how to break through the brainwashing somehow, or it will end at takumi getting brainwashed to ensure he doesn't let the truth out to everyone by sirei, and also make him obedient to him.

doesn't change his mind and defeats him. while eito is passed out, takumi carries him back to the school which means everyone will get angy at him and potentially get locked in jail for betraying the sdu. there's a potential continuation where sirei decides to brainwash both of them and both guys-

get super angry and they fight each other. in the midst of their fight, eito tries to persuade takumi by how he's been alone his entire life and while dealing with takumi's disgusting figure and stench, he's come to tolerate him and even willing to invite him to this whole thing, but takumi-

it in anyway because he doesn't want to lose takumi who's siding with him now, and now that he's not alone in thinking about humanity.

nozomi path - takumi decides to cancel their deal and he'll go back to the sdu to forgive everyone. he swears to bring eito down with him too which causes eito to-

and creates a special case for her in case the invaders attack the school again–to make sure she's alright. by choosing this path takumi and eito would be risking themselves getting spotted by the sdu while still checking whether nozomi is still alive or not. eito is also slightly pissed but holds-

WHAT IF THIS IS A BRANCHING PATH... you follow along with eito or you go back to nozomi. either way one of the other is doomed...

eito path - takumi tells the truth about nozomi and how she's karua somehow and doesn't want her to get hurt despite him running away with eito. eito understands-

this leaves takumi in a predicament...
sorry my idea ended there and even if it makes sense... idk man

and figures out who nozomi is to takumi as their argument went on. he'll ask takumi if he really is actually on eito's side if he really went so far as to go back in time just for nozomi... ah the climax is here

this happened because takumi still wants nozomi to be protected since he thinks karua = nozomi, and requested eito to leave nozomi alone. takumi most likely will reply with anger due to eito being the cause of nozomi dying in r0. i have a feeling this will go badly since eito is pretty smart (?)-

it puts a perspective on how much he really did trust eito and how much he wanted THAT eito back...
also the poker part was funny as fuck can't blame that, and even the brainwashing hints from both eva and takemaru... man

the first timeline, and now even when he broke that trust by the events that happened and even after going all this way to spare him in this second timeline and putting him in a cage, he still subconsciously goes to eito for advice—they help somehow even though takumi feels like it shouldn't,
