Since Rin1, Rin has been my least favorite LB heroine. That’s just an opinion, whatever. Rin2 exceeded my expectations in that it actually made me like Rin. I haven’t touched Refrain yet, but I’m excited to see where this leads.
However, I have a bone to pick.
I have a bone to pick with Riki Naoe.
After I finished my first route, I made a post about how I was wrong about Riki being weak and wrong to compare him to Tomoya. Rin2 leads me to believe I was mistaken, however. Riki noted that Rin was childish—which is true, and that never changed even up to the police raid—but he was unable to realize that he was equally as childish. He was foolish to believe that he would be able to succeed in running away with Rin. The moment he decided he regretted not going to university shortly after passing out in a field is precisely when I said, “This dumb motherfucker.” Am I being too hard on Riki here? I don’t know; he’s just as childish as Rin, and I don’t get on her case about it. What annoyed me the most is that Riki acknowledged Rin’s childishness while being blind to his own.
