Shiki Day 2

This is where the game officially kicks you out of the tutorial zone, and you can start actually dying in battles. I set my level back down to 1, and my difficulty to normal. No game overs, but my post-battle rankings (mostly Ds) indicate I am definitely in need of some practice. Especially since I'm going to have to start turning the difficulty up to collect Secret Reports soon.

Anyway, I sped through this day (hi Rhyme and Beat!) pretty quick. So quick, in fact, that I realized I progressed to Day 3 without finding the sailor suit I need to unlock today's Secret Report. Fuck my life, I have to go replay…

Luckily you can grab the sailor suit pretty quickly, so I didn't have to watch Neku choke Shiki out a second time. Not his finest moment, but I do have to love how stupidly dramatic this day's ending is. There's lots to unpack with Neku and Shiki already, but I think I'll save that for the next entry.

P.S. I added a music player to this journal so you can listen to tracks from the game while reading! Enjoy the ambiance. I wonder if this is what Neku is listening to on those headphones, too...
