Just something for me to jolt down, and see the differences in how Kouki acts and develops.
WARNING: Contain spoilers
SMTDR
Info: The Velvet Mall, a multidimensional, sentient nexus that kidnapped people from many worlds at its whims. Time in people's original worlds are frozen until they return.
Status: Healthy and well off, in spite of the various events the Mall pulled on everyone.
Due to the Shouted Confession event, he now knows he's Abel from Naoya. It...certainly put some things into perspective.
Kouki is quite worried about Aoshi (
runtotragedy ), since he's possessed by Belberith, a Bel. Despite the difference in power between him and the demon, he won't give up on Aoshi.
CARRIERO
Info: A prison-like aslyum that houses 'subjects' from different worlds and time periods. No subjects that's been departed ('terminated' AKA dropped) had ever return, and therefore confirming if time flows or stopped in their worlds.
Status: Oh boy...
Quite frankly, the worst place for Kouki to be at out of all his homes. Brought here from a vital point (Day 6) and not knowing if time stopped or move, a part of him dreads escaping and only to find Tokyo, and everyone inside, dead because he wasn't there with his decision.
At the aslyum, he has taken to assuming the leadership role during the 'tests' given out by Linda. Failing those tests and being reminded of them put a heavy toll on his mind, despite his strong front. Or attempts to uphold them. The death of the boy he's unable to save, and the uncertain fate of Katara and Fuji, made him more determined to succeed and to never fail again.
It only made him more protective of the people that's still stuck, and alive, in this stupid place. Even if his COMP was restricted and taken from him, except during certain 'tests'. He'll find a way to escape for all of them.
No one get left behind. No more 'termination'.
LUCETI
Info: An enclosure run by scientists known as the Malnosso. Everyone inside was given a pair of wings and suffers from periodic experiments.
Status: Doing fairly well, but events lead him to be more thoughtful of his choice and of being stuck in Luceti, until he's sent home. If ever.
His talks with Naoya, before his cousin was sent back (he should be, or else he'd respond to his call by now), time spent here in Luceti with Yuzu and friends he made here, hearing about people's return to home like Shirayuki.
Luceti is only a little better than Carriero, if only because he knows time back home is stopped and he have the choice to go outside.
He's happy to have a pet kitten, but he knows it's a gesture to win him over. Or suspect it is.
The Total Recall and Valentine's Day experiment left him...with mixed emotions. For a while, he had a 'future' where he went with Atsuro's idea and developed romantic feelings for Yuzu, only to be brought back to normal. Valentine's Day, he fell for Rosalia Rosselini, but she went home before the event was over.
Thanks, Malnosso.
So far, the only people that know about the War of Bel are Yuzu and Naoya. There's a handful of others that know he can use magic, and he managed to tell Alf about Beldr without explaining the war.
For as long as possible, he want to be seen as 'human' before the war is known, one way or another.
