How about kamukoma/komahina aspects of dr3 that you would add/change?
Ack, I really need to get to the rest of these. Well, what better time than the present?
Well, all the same, here goes! It got a little long so it’s under a read more for now.
Happy Valentines Day. :D
Now, this could go one of two ways: they either met or they didn’t. If they don’t meet then obviously there’s not going to be much additions in dr3 save for…a few things.
I like the idea of being the world’s fucking biggest tease and having either them juuuuuust missing each other (like Komaeda leaves after talking with Matsuda just as Hinata arrives to talk to Matsuda) or having them bump into each other briefly, Komaeda quickly apologizing and hurrying on his way as Hinata stares after him, a little starstruck and then asking Matsuda about him, irritating Matsuda even more than he usually is.
“Is that one of the elites?”
“Do you value your life and sanity?”
“W-What?!”
“Stay on subject, you reserve course gorilla.”
But if they do know each other:
The fountain is one of their meeting places, too. And they either met from Komaeda lugging around a bag of soda and needing to sit down or Komaeda ending up crashing into the fountain due to a prior explosion of bad luck. The latter would be funnier, especially since Hinata would meet Nanami the same way (though she just walks into it like an idiot), and Hinata just complaining “why doesn’t just talent itself fall from the sky”. (Side note: I need to find a way to work in Izuru getting into the fountain, too. Somehow. Some way.)
Their relationship is initially curt with Komaeda polite if distant only to get irritated with how pushy Hinata is (due to being worried about him). Hinata gets snappy too and they’re like huffy children, more so when Komaeda finds out about him making friends.
Despite that, they meet again for various reasons that Komaeda relates to bad luck (broken soda machines, getting chased by dogs, losing a button in the fountain), and despite the tsuning at each other, they actually talk quite a bit at length and despite being annoyed with him, Hinata finds himself engrossed in Komaeda’s speaking, even when it causes twinges in his chest when Komaeda parrots toxic ideals that Hinata had, too, internalizes. They actually talk about Komaeda’s class, and Hinata is initially blindsided by how Komaeda utterly lights up when talking about them. He sees that light dull more the class mistreats him, but Komaeda never tells him anything’s wrong so Hinata’s just left with a bad feeling.
Honestly, basically their relationship in that Not Tomorrow fic I wrote like…in late 2016. Yeah, pretty much that. Minor tweaking may be a thing, but I can’t really think of anything major.
Actually, what would be a new major change/addition involving KomaHina in dr3 that I’m thinking would be a scene that shows them in the island simulation together because it’s such bullshit that we don’t get any “can you hear me?” scene even if the OVA (which is Valid) rectified that.
But what happens is Hinata getting a headache suddenly and ending up in tears because of it, making Komaeda give him a handkerchief while fretting over him. Hinata waves it off in part because he’s not sure what’s even happening there.
It’s because of Kamukura crying through him because FUCK THAT SCENE. He’s not crying about Nanami, mind you. Hell to the fuck no. But he is crying about being forced to forget someone.
Maybe the tears were brought about by Komaeda rattling a bunch possible talents for Hinata like in his first FTE and one of the ones he mentions is Ultimate Neurologist.
So KamuKoma… KamuKoma, KamuKoma, KamuKoma…
So Kamukura really only knows about Komaeda because Matsuda rants about having to take care of him but they don’t exactly meet until later.
That’s not to say they were never involved with each other.
I’m keeping in the shooting scene but the circumstances are WILDLY different. It would have to lack the pastel due to the situation (the real tragedy of this whole thing), but I still wouldn’t mind it happening.
But here, the two encounter each other because Kamukura has been observing many moments of despair from a distance. Just, a distance, and even though he personally detests Junko, despair continues drawing him in so he tries to watch from the shadows where even she, presumably, wouldn’t notice him.
So like, around the same time that Junko dropped off Nanami in the torture dungeon, Komaeda’s infiltrated the place due to good luck (and he brought a gun) and has just been wandering around. His wandering leads to a room where he’s forced to watch Nanami die slowly from behind a screen. Due to his isolation from the class, he had no idea this was happening so it’s a shock, to say the least.
That said, Kamukura ends up drawn in because what Komaeda showcases is despair but it’s a strange kind of despair he’s never seen before, and that startles Komaeda, to say the least.
Classmate’s suddenly dying before you and some rando shows up immediately after?
Yeah, that’s fucking suspicious so Komaeda pulls the gun on him. He hesitates for a moment, confused by Kamukura’s appearance, before interrogating him if he’s involved with any of this. He’s not getting any answers as Kamukura just stares at him.
And then, Kamukura asks him how many people he’s seen die and if that’s why his classmate dying so horribly didn’t phase him as much as it would any normal person. When Kamukura starts making accurate guesses about it, Komaeda gets more and more hysterical as he seems to realize who this person is.
Since he’s not exactly in a good state of mind, he giddily wonders “would this bullet even graze someone like you; do I have the luck for it; what would come from that” and Kamukura stops, giving him a cold glare.
Komaeda flinches and ends up pulling the trigger since his finger is already on it. The gun is jammed, but Kamukura takes it, tells him that he, too, has luck, and shoves him back before shooting him.Komaeda hits his head pretty hard, but he’s still conscious even as he bleeds from it. He’s really dizzy, vision blurring and distorting. Since he isn’t bleeding from what should be a bullet wound, Kamukura tosses the gun aside to investigate and pulls out the bullet-lodged student handbook.
He mutters that it seems Komaeda is truly “beloved by luck” and Komaeda grips his arm as tightly as he could. Due to head trauma, he can’t really speak coherently, and he does stumble over his words severely as he tries.
“U-Ult…im…ate… H… Hope…”
Flushed with excitement, he’s then completely out of it as Kamukura checks his hair. Kamukura’s fingers brush against scars that he recognizes belong to Matsuda, and his inkling of an idea of who this was is confirmed.
Sighing, he scoops Komaeda up to be treat him later. He’s unconcerned; the head trauma will likely block Komaeda’s memories of this event, and he tells himself that this is just because Matsuda would be irritated by him if he leaves one of Matsuda’s patients for dead.
Komaeda is still muttering into his suit and bleeding all over it, but he doesn’t really care about that. He regards the classmate’s corpse with a sigh of “how boring” before carrying Komaeda off.
He doesn’t flinch when Junko happily greets him and tries to talk to him through the various monitors. He ignores her as she acts shocked and hurt, even unaffected when she brings up Nanami as some “poor tragic heroine” that had reportedly been friends with the person Kamukura used to be and that it’s like something out of the novels or anime.
Kamukura brushes it all off, focused on getting Komaeda to safety.
“Aah, right, you didn’t know her so she’s as good as some insignificant stranger, huh?”
“…Y’know, Kamukura Izuru, I’m reaaaaally curious how you’d react to the death of someone who does matter to you. Upupupu… That kind of despair…”
“I really want to taste it for myself…!”
After Kamukura treats him, Komaeda later wakes up alone in a hospital room, hopelessly confused as to what happened to him, but feeling weirdly excited when he thinks about it. But, oh, what horrible luck, he just can’t remember it at all!
