some of you missed the point

a lot of you on here keep trying to claim that ai and yuuna were actually in love, but they weren’t. not even canonically, because ai’s creator wasn’t surprised that ai loved her. which means it was put into her programming to fall in love with yuuna

ai only holds an obsessive personality and love for playing otome games (among other traits) simply because she is mirroring yuuna’s preferences. that’s not actually the AI obviously, it’s just doing what it was made to do: make YOU happy as the user.

this isn’t really yuri honestly, not even doomed yuri, it’s just sad. this game is sooo depressing, and if you played through every ending and every dialogue and STILL came to the conclusion that they should be romanticized, you have absolutely no common sense !!!

they didn’t go on a parfait date and spend forever together. they repeatedly signal that yuuna didn’t “transfer into her computer,” she just killed herself. her parfait had too much “strawberry syrup” which gave it a METALLIC taste (taste of the iron in your blood) and she felt cold such as a corpse would. she may have had trouble moving in the beginning because her body’s rigor mortis was taking effect. this isn’t actually a love story. it shouldn’t be to anyone here. it’s a story of a girl that had a severe mental illness, if not multiple, dozens of psychological and physical health problems, who had no friends or loving family her entire life. it’s meant to raise awareness through the life of a character who ultimately ended her life out of delusion, depression, and extreme loneliness.

yes it’s “just a game,” but there are MANY real life hikikomoris or people who struggle that badly with self-image, isolation, self harm, and social anxiety. i think it’s always important to note the real message of media, as one of the endings literally tells the player to go touch grass. all of the behaviors in this game are unhealthy and saying you’re a “kinnie” is a little.. odd. but if you really do struggle with the same habits that she does, your lifestyle is absolutely detrimental. this game is more than likely for self-reflection, so don’t take it as another silly character to add to your kin list if you relate. take it as a sign that you NEED to take care of yourself
