ry what do you think will happen in funeno route? do you think he has modeled after a specific character in any of the reference books? I can't exactly pinpoint it :( I'd also love to hear your thoughts and predictions about his route

funnily enough it all comes back to dogra magra. funeno's given name is kureichirou, and the protagonist of dogra magra is named kure ichiro. one of the central conflicts in dogra magra is kure ichiro being admitted to a mental institution for a crime he is being accused of that he cannot remember committing, and over the course of the novel he slowly falls more and more into madness as he tries to determine what about him is real and what is a lie that was fed to him by a crazed doctor overseeing his case. We'll probably see this be present in funeno's character, as his hannin line (a dialogue snippet following an accusation levied against a character. all of the attendees have a hannin line) featured in the initial settings booklet and the ooe cool-b features was 「わたくしなのでしょうか?わたくしかも知れません」, or "is it me? I don't know... it could be me." which seems very similar to his namesake. I wonder if funeno himself doesn't know if the crimes he's being indicted for are true. I would love it if that's a big theme with his character- struggling to figure out if anything he's being told about his crime is real, all while fighting guilt for something that might have been completely fabricated or exaggerated. it's fun to think about!
