It's like people have forgotten Mio's personality in the time since the last update.
I despise the 'nice' add-on. The character would never admit doing anything wrong at all. That was the point, the very thing that made Hinata angry in the first place.
As the one who made that write-in,
who said anything about being nice? CX
For intents and purposes this theoretically makes things plenty harder on Hinata because we're supporting what most consider 'bad behavior'
As for the apology...? I honestly was torn about that because in normal circumstances
yeah she probably wouldn't. But I wouldn't call these normal under any stretch for anyone involved so... *shrug*
I would be tempted to change it again and remove those last two words of that line, but the magnanimous GM is already working with it so keeping the block as is is for the best.
Don't worry.
I'm well aware that Mio does not apologize.
If it wins, I'll take the vote and hammer it into a suitably Mio format while keeping as much of the intent as is possible.
.... Don't get me wrong, though, Hinata will still be 200% mad.
Perfect. All that I was hoping for and more.
...I might end up writing an omake for this — it's too ripe with zany fun
not to.
Ah. So you're deliberately voting for out of character actions. Carry on, then.
More like voting for something dramatically out of character and letting the QM sort things out.
I mean if you must insist repeatedly, if nothing else I'm suggesting a moment of clarity / 'abnormal' insanity from the multiple lightning rounds of "
practice your new technique in live combat".
Slightly more seriously I'd like to think that She, Mio, is perfectly capable of development and growth like anyone — no,
greater and
more magnificent / magnanimous than anyone! CX
"Life-threatening" circumstances (perceived or otherwise) can impress, and just because we didn't get to see the carnage in full doesn't mean it didn't happen and had no impact upon the characters.
That said, I'm not gonna be disappointed if something else wins; there's time for relations to be properly forged in time, and the other major options are still rather excellent regardless.
