thoughts on ‘what if what happened to Banri happened to Gaku’ and consequences for TRG (mostly because I have a feeling part 5 is veering towards that possibility with Tenn so that might end up canon, and if Ryuu disappeared Gaku and Tenn would likely murder each other so that’s a short story). Because I won’t write this, but i do have Thoughts

since they’re on the fun indie scene now, that would make the setting the same, concert somewhere off the main track, something goes wrong, speaker meets head.

Two scenarios came to mind, either frontal lobe damage and his personality is…not the same. Meek and timid, no arguments or strong opinions, Tenn loses his partner in head-butting matches and moral quandaries of professionalism and it’s unsettling. Ryuu misses pulling them apart, their bickering, and his own camaraderie with being excited about things, being embarrassing around Tenn, movie nights and drinking.

Takes a long while to coax his impulses back to the forefront, first time he says something to oppose Tenn and Tenn can’t even remember his own argument because he’s so relieved. Ryuu continues his upbeat comments, jokes, and it’s hard when there’s no real response but the first time Gaku joins in again with playing around and being ridiculous, he definitely starts crying.

Option 2. He disappears. Don’t know what the name would be with just TR but I imagine they’d keep going, and keep looking on the side. His family moved to the countryside, less reminders that would set off headaches or nausea, and he just keeps working at their new shop, the regular customers mostly too old to know about idols or just don’t care/aren’t into it. Listens to the radio sometimes, sings along to songs sometimes, though some familiar ones are too much of a trigger. There’s no problems, until two people step into the shop and the world goes hazy with pain, drops the food he was bringing out, and…

I don’t know the ending, that one’s just sad all around.

Part 5 (spoilers) really seems to be gearing up for something to happen to TRG a la Zero and the suspicious reasoning on why I7 shouldn’t come see the musical is really upping the ten(n)sion. Is someone going to go the way of Banri again? Is Tenn going to disappear, willing or not?
