Been rolling the symbiote au around in my head and considering a timeline where Emmet either isn't knocked unconscious, or he is temporarily but wakes up relatively quickly. Everyone still knows him as Ingo and he goes along with it (but they take note on the days he smiles more than he frowns)

Akari still is using an unconscious/comatose Dawn as a host, rather uncomfortably. She's trying hard to keep a low profile and therefore eats a TON so she doesn't get hangry and start biting off people's heads. Ingo and Emmet are acting as wardens but also trying to figure out where the hell the other symbiote is (they know the signs, after all). It's the stupidest game of cat & mouse.

Ingo and Emmet do eventually lose the trail because they get into an accident in front of Akari, one bad enough that Ingo needs to reveal himself in order to heal Emmet. They both try to reassure Akari that she's fine, that she's safe, that they wouldn't hurt her... They think she takes the news awfully well, for a human, and are relieved that she seemed to get over her (presumed) terror really quick!

Meanwhile Akari is having a crisis and deciding the best thing to do is stop eating so much and spend more time outside of Jubilife Village and away from Kamado so she doesn't lose her temper and snap at him (or snap his head off with her teeth).
