A pseudo-pseudo Suzu route (completed)

[CBuM]

Is the Philosophy of Time Travel a Donnie Darko reference?

Glad you liked it! So does Suzu, I want to repair things between them soon because there are few things better than Hisao and Kenji together in bro mode.

Hisao, Kenji, Suzu and Miki ALL in bro mode? Perhaps teaming up to fight evil and boredom and start a kickass garage band?

And yes, I caught a few references. I'm not a complete pleb.

This may be a little late after this was published, but in my creative musings, I decided to give Hanako a phantom of the opera' mask before ever reading this.

This

I really like seeing someone write from someone other than Hisao's perspective. It makes some of the fan works a little more predictable than they should be - especially in the introspective moments. It's refreshing.

[lolawesome]

Should I feel bad for wanting Hisao to give Kenji one good hit to the gut?

Just remember that there was no real malice behind his actions

and he's right, what if a creep like Art Teacher/Walking Breathing Child Molester NOMIYA found her unconscious in the hallway?

Oh shitake mushrooms, you're right

Can't believe I missed that as I mentally just replaced it with Hawking's Brief History of Time on my read through

Thought Hisao's confession sort of lacked the emotional OOMPH, when it's been sort of built up as such

[DelusionsOfGrandeur]

I laughed a little too hard when I read “Bring out your books.”

Here's some source material for hilarity.

Tolkien, Donnie Darko, and Monty Python references, all in one update? The awesome, it's too much

You're probably used to this by now, but this is honestly one of the best KS fics I've ever read. Stories like this make me wish there had been more routes. There's one thing I've been curious about as I've been reading this, was the amusement park dream inspired by Yume Miru Kusuri?

First Emi, and now Shizune too??? Damn, them girls ganging up on Suzu. Hisao only has Lezard to sort of worry about

That brings up an interesting question about the canon stories.

I wonder how much jealousy there is between the ladies over Hisao? I mean, that's a somewhat large story point in the Shizune route, but I wonder how much animosity is stirred up when he chooses one girl over another. I imagine some of them being attracted to him (he's not repulsive) even if nothing is ever said. Since the individual stories tend to focus on the one girl with single-minded abandon, the possibility isn't really explored.

I'm loving this story, though. The way narcolepsy is portrayed and how Suzu deals with it are believable and thoughtful. Her anxieties and rambling thoughts are equally believable. Sometimes, I feel like I'm reading a passage ripped right from my own mind, especially when she's waiting for a response to an important question or trying to build up the courage to ask.

Also, might I suggest 'Narcolepta'.

How much longer is this whole "Suzu's mysterious dead ex" thing going to go on for? It's starting to drag a little.

Just thinking about that for a moment is giving me a headache.

Lelouch has aphasia, which basically means his brain incorrectly associates words with their meanings sometimes which would cause him to say something like "pencil robin of the dodge mind" instead of "what's the answer to number five?"

Suzu is a narcoleptic, which means she's tired a lot of the time, and occasionally blacks out.

When the two of them had a chance to converse, can you imagine it being anything other than surreal? Suzu wakes from a dream to hear her companion saying something about "purple monkey dishwasher", and thinks she's still asleep. I might be exaggerating a bit, but I don't think I'd be far off saying they'd have trouble understanding each other even if they did get along well.

Forgive my ignorance, I thought you were attempting serious discourse.

He was seriously talking about discourse :-3
