Annah's Moths
Lupin's Route
Sooo that marks the end for Code : Realize !
Lupin's route was nice, though I have to say I had less love for his romantic moments than Saint-Germain but I do think him and Cardia are perfect fit. I like the reoccuring theme of him stealing her away from the loneliness her "God" imposed on her. He's also a little bit of a dork which is endearing. PLus, it's fun to see his shenanigans. I mean the whole changing voices, faking his death with a bulletproof vest, it feels a little bit over the top each time and it makes me smile because of it. What an irritating little man. I'm glad him and Cardia found each other
I like that this route tried to tie back all the different threads of the others' stories by the end. Now, everyone is happy. Or at least unburdened by the problems they once had. Aleister's real identity was a surprise to me. I did not see it coming. Looks like I'm not much of a detective, after all, but now I'm even sadder I didn't get a Sholmes romance...
You make a Gakupo lookalike and I'm not even allowed to smooch him ? That's cruel.
I was a little more into the mystery of Cardia's family, than I was into the romance. I just really wanted to save Finis at the end. They both felt like victims of the God, children made to be killed and without any love. Monsters that only had each other. I liked that she said that she could love him. Not that she loved him now, but she could learn to. That they could learn to. I like the idea that, as he plummets to his death, he can hold onto that little maybe in his heart. That a doll who was never loved, might have had a sister that still did in the end.
I really like that little speech Victoria does, and the CG showing the airships as moving stars in the background.
Can I say that I loved the tragic ending of the Normal End a lot ? The idea of the genius Arsène Lupin unable to escape, not because he can't but because the love of his life is stuck.
Fucker got the girl AND the wedding ? Lucky bastard.
I knew I was right disling our "father". What kind of loving parents gift you life simply to have you dying at the end of it. Unable to even seek the warmth of others. What a shitty God. Sure, his backstory is sad and I can understand his motivations, but he's still better off dead. It wasn't much of a mystery, but it was a really good plot point ! I liked it ! It feels right for a homonculus' story to end with her confronting her creator. Plus, I vibe with the messaging. What good is it to love a God that only made you to be obedient and follow his teachings to the letter ?
