Millenium City is a good time to explore/contrast not only established relationships and take strides towards resolving ones with unfinished business, but also a good time for what ifs, relationships that might have been, or ones that you can see unfolding in the late stages of the game.

In the comments, tap people you'd like to thread with, with an idea for foundation if possible.

Also, a proposal: Reconsidering the ranking system so that it isn't so heavily weighted towards high and low ranks indicating like or dislike, respectively. Looking at my own links I'm finding there should be some in-between space for rivalry or other connections, because that can be just as significant.

Kiriko: They had an interesting relationship going, but it was also an unhealthy one. After the pre-mindwipe scene and both of them reaching self-rank 10, I think they need some closure. Also their "rivalry" about Reizo is lols.
Kozue: These two got along, but their relationship was shallow. Might be nice to go beyond that and explore their similarities and differences.
Maeko: I don't think she and Toru ever established a social link... want to change that?
Keiichi: Different takes on the hero complex, these two. Could be interesting. Also Toru never really followed up with him after the boss fight.
Kai: Another one of Toru's high-ish links. These two had similarities and liked each other, so it'd be nice to go further with that.
Masami: We may need to backdate a resolution to their last thread and move forward. Toru's willing to listen to Masami's problems.
Tom: He and Toru have had an interesting relationship, but their link has always been near 0 because of the ups and downs. Dealing with things like heroism, trust, and friendship here.
Toshimi: They've only really got Matsuri in common, and now they've only got that in the Millenium!verse. This could be our chance to get them to be friends.
Masafumi: idek
Renju: Sounds like she's got a bone to pick with Toru, even if they did side together before the mindwipe. Very different takes on life, too.
Kouchisei: He keeps trying to "fix" Toru and criticizes him at any chance he gets. Could we resolve this, I wonder?
Seiko: Still got the diametrically opposed beliefs, and a big grudge between them. With both of them predungeon emotionally, we could fix this or make it worse. Want to give it a shot?
Reizo: The punch needs followup. As does their whole weird relationship.
Yoshimi: They're pretty much best friends, but there's stuff to explore here. Like how she knows a lot more about his private life than vice-versa, being awkward nerds, etc.
Isao: They don't have a lot between them, but they are Team Slacker in the Millenium City! Could be fun to have them being antisocial bums together.
Misaki: Toru and Misaki's friendship kind of burned out a while ago, and it sucks that it did. Could they possibly reconnect?

I think there's a possible resolution.

Kouchisei in the real world was becoming more mellow. He might have had his disagreements about how Toru handles himself, but he'd have learned to back off and let Toru get on with it - he was on the beginnings of that when the OMGels fucked it all up.

Once Millennium City ends and said angels are up for an asskicking, I think it'll righten itself back onto that track, especially since Kou's changing outlook/behaviour is making him more supportive, even if he doesn't approve - and there are things he won't, but he won't harp on about it.

	I think it'd be nice to get into that and explore it. These two shall have to thread once memories are back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Their interactions could be interesting, with Toru being more of the "I wanna be a hero" and Tom seeing more the actual consequences of such behavior. Plus the whole both wanting to avoid all human contact for different reasons.

I'm not sure how they would interact now... with them both trying their best to avoid human contact but I think without the treatment of Seiko to bring their relationship down they could get higher links.

	I think Toru and Tom have a lot of stuff they could talk about in a link, re:heroism! Both of them are kind of fanboys, too. I'm surprised this is a thread that didn't get picked up sooner. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I think we should try for a higher link. It might not be easy getting Toru and Tom in the same place, but it's definitely worth it! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've got the Tom solving the mystery of his weird flashbacks, so I can use that as an excuse to have Tom break into Toru's room. And idk I think an interersting convo could come of that. But dear lord, let's do it in IM so we can have it done in one day (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good plan, let's please do it in IM. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	YES. Ditching class to go to the arcade for... something. Or anything really. If you have any preferences, I'm totally in for a thread. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sure, ditching class for the arcade sounds about right! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
