Rewrite VN (Part 10 of ?)

Summary of this entry: Tears from beginning to end -Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! -And this is the point where my first tears for Rewrite fell. Gotta keep jotting down my thoughts as I wipe my eyes with my sleeve for the next few minutes (not exaggerating). -Of course he is. He knowingly pushed himself to the limit to save the Key and me. Kotori needs to say something other than this calm analysis of Chibimoth dying. -Dammit, everything Kotori is saying right now is so frustrating. It’s a lie. -Apparently, Pero really isn’t anything like Chibimoth. I had forgotten all that from my memory loss. To me, that’s just more reason he’s alive. He wasn’t Pero’s reincarnation but definitely his own self. -Tears started right back up again. -Maybe my memories of how I felt have faded but I think I’m crying worse than any moment in Little Busters!. Poor Chibimoth. -He barked so I guess the familiar process does keep the old form a bit since that was Pero. There’s nothing to even keep of him since his body dissolves like all the others. R.I.P. Chibimoth -The Key sang when Chibimoth. Kotori says it’s a sign that this Salvation of the earth will be coming soon. -Oh man, fireworks from the festival and gunfire from the others in the forest. The barrier’s broken. We’re doomed. -I got shot but it’s not life-threatening. Kotori’s army of familiars chased away (and killed) the guy who shot me. -I know I made that theory long ago from the flashback with Kotori saying she didn’t want anyone else she knew to die and from how her mom was so silent in the forest but it’s unnerving how nonchalant Kotori sounds. She used her parent’s bodies, gutting them and so on to make familiars all when she was a child. -「…what’s wrong with that?」So, so many things, Kotori. -I don’t think leaving everyone to get supplies is a good idea but Kotarou is doing so anyway. I have a feeling I’ll return to see Kotori and the others (others being just…familiars) gone. -Very surprising but I ran into Yoshino in the slums. -Ah, the fight from school. Yoshino doesn’t think I deserve to even be noticed anymore so he doesn’t say a word to me. -Wow, giving Yoshino what he wants. A real honest fight without me holding back. It is the last time I’ll see him, after all. -Oh my god, I never had a clue. I didn’t know Yoshino felt that way about Kotori… -Overcrowded or not, I doubt that’s the reason why no one’s cell phone works. -Thankfully, I was wrong. I was able to get back to Kotori. -Wow, after seeing beautiful background of forests and cities for so long, this is a shock. -Kotori’s just exhausted in every single way. So she’s been a druid for at least ten years. Her parents died just before that. So when she was still very new to the whole familiar process, she had to do this (practice?) to her parents. Must’ve been horrible. Meanwhile, I’ve been blissfully ignorant of all this the whole time. -Wow, when Kotori said, right before she became a druid, she meant it. Right after finding her parents, she wandered in the forest she fell in and found the mistletoe. -*freezes* That is not the question I expected Kotarou to ask. Music stopped, which was definitely a good choice. -I’m alive…right? This whole thing definitely counts as a brick-shitting moment. Though, it is uncertain. -So at the scene of my injury, there was a girl in the tree, the Key and me. I bumped into the Key, which started it all. -Makes me think back to when I explained my power to Kotori and she explained how you can’t just throw a bunch of abilities without balance and how I’m kind of like a familiar. -The Key starts singing. -Kotori’s “father” aimed his hunting rifle at the Key but I stopped him. Kotori herself seems to want to kill it/her too. -Great, and our hut is surrounded by dogs. -I didn’t think I’d cry for Kotori’s parents. I was wrong. It wasn’t just their bodies. Her parents really were there, like Chibimoth. -Also, a music box version of the opening song is playing throughout all this. -So despite what it said, there definitely is some kind of revival or soul left. -The Key turned around to watch Kotori’s parents fighting the dog familiars and laughed. What the hell is wrong with this girl? I do not like her. At all. Oh my god, she had to lose them twice in her life. And the second time, she never really treated them like parents (can’t blame her with the limited functions of them). To know that their souls really were hidden in there is so depressing for her. -Kotori finally cried over the loss. I thought she wouldn’t since she didn’t really cry after Chibimoth died. But her parents… T___T -Kotori’s going to kill the Key. And if I’m a familiar, I’ll die too since all of Kotori’s familiars are connected to the powerspot through the Key’s “umbilical cord”. -No, you mean I am…a familiar? -Saddest way to admit she likes me ever. -Shizuru just blew a hole in the Key’s chest. It’s dying in my arms and Shizuru and the nearby dinosaur familiar just turn around and leave, just like that. -Wh…at? -Oh my god, nooo! -I’m dying and sucking on Kotori’s energy so I’m pretty much telling her to sacrifice me for herself. T___T -You have to be kidding me. This is more like a bad end. And yeah, crying again. -Kotori cuts off my connecting to her and my rune gear has reduced itself to not even having a countdown hand anymore. -So now I have my injuries from when I was young and the injuries of the recent fights. -I thought Kotarou was lying to let Kotori live but he’s telling her to bring him to a hospital, hoping that normal humans can help. I suppose that there’s still some hope for this being a good end. -C’mon, hope. Don’t let Kotori be alone. -Horrible timing. I’m going to die. -Kotori somehow chased it away. I’m not entirely sure it was the black dog. -The amount of pain Kotarou’s in must be horrible. And yet he has to keep trying to stay alive for her. -Kotori, with her awesome determination and desperation, somehow has gotten me to civilization, where they’re screaming at the sight of me. Way to help, guys. -Sounds like Yoshino found me and is helping. He must be in such a panic. He has one last fight with me, I run off from some danger he has no idea about and then he sees me bleeding and seriously injured, unable to do anything but be carried by Kotori. -Best sight ever. -I bet this is one Harvest Festival the town won’t soon forget. Hey, maybe the Terra magazine will write about me. -Kotarou has to go through rehab for months just to walk again. Kotori has yet to visit. At least she is going to school so it’s not like she left entirely. -I can barely walk twenty meters without assistance but I’m going to attempt walking to find Kotori. Well, she had the strength to drag my beaten body to town so why not. -Credits rolled and the title screen now has the Key. Naturally, she’s being a weirdo and not even turned around to face the screen. Also, Shizuru’s route has now been unlocked. I think I’ll do the other previous unlocked ones first (Lucia and Chihaya if I remember correctly). -Note to self for next route. Number screencaps in the triple digits. I didn’t expect to reach 100 in Kotori’s route and although it’s only a little bit past that, it’s still a lot. I don’t know if it’ll happen for the other routes (probably for some of them) but I’ll be prepared.
