So the heist happened way earlier with Sumire's intervention, huh? Also, pretty neat take on how the canon brutal change of heart happens. And would Takuto show up after this arc?

This is really interesting, I’ve seen a lot of NG stories recently but none where everyone else remembers except joker, very cool and a great way to differentiate your story from the others.

I’m only on chapter 3 right now so I hope I’m not jumping the gun saying this, but I really hope Ren doesn’t take a backseat to the rest of the characters, he’s got some major depth in this story and you can really take advantage of that with the way the Thieves deal with they’re guilt with him, but then again, this is YOUR story and I’m looking forward to seeing where you go with it.

Thanks for posting!

Slight correction, Ren isn't a fool he's an idiot

Well, this is quite an interestingly complicated time traveler battle. Also, the concept of the natural, so to speak, sort of mental shutdown or psychotic breakdown you're working up here is particularly interesting! Same goes for Kobayakawa having a Palace.

Interesting idea, though I'm a bit curious as to how Sumire remembered her true self, since she was still believing that she was Kasumi during the God of Control arc.

intriguing, can't wait for the next chapter
