I’ve only now managed to sift through the recent posts regarding the situation, and I have some thoughts to contribute. I understand my presence here isn’t particularly welcome at the moment but judging by the information shared so far, it’s clear that Amada-kun has reached a point where no lines remain uncrossed.
-Several of you are correct—belief is the foundation of Actualization. Without it, the changes I impose can and will reverse. As much as I would like to help the boy trapped beneath that violent exterior, I cannot risk attempting this alone. Defending myself from him is another matter entirely, but I don’t recommend relying solely on this as a strategy. -Katsuya-san’s idea to exploit Sumaru is worth further investigation. Through my work in the Lab and experiments with Azathoth, I could be able to manipulate collective cognition on a considerable scale and I would have tried it in other circumstances but its best to communicate it first. I have some theories about how this might apply here, but the finer details require discussion in person.
-Aragaki san's idea is also a wonderful approach. I brought this up earlier—though no one seemed particularly inclined to comment—that Amada-kun likely has a human tether we can exploit. His mother appears to be a critical connection. Judging by my experience with other Marukis and their cognitions, I could use that tether to influence his mental state. The more I understand about their relationship, the better I can construct something to reach him. I have...only made vague concepts so far which don't seem to last long but the more I know about a patient, the more I can read the patterns behind their thinking and how they might mirror the person closest to them. Amada-kun's mother might actually help save him from himself. I also refuse to trust the details of this process to an open network.
Going back to our personas and items- I have infinite storage tucked away in my coat and the depths of my mind (I can also manifest infinite snacks? It feels like a running joke at this point haha) This accelerates when I am in my Lab- I don't know if that's as helpful however.
Through my time in mementos I believe I get the concept of the elemental attacks you might be referring to. I try not to use magic until strictly necessary but judging from the nature of Tyrant Chaos, Piercing Strike(?) and Megidolaon- they seem to be the moves you guys need. I have some buffs and debuffs as well which amplify those attacks- and a small healing spell through a tentacle but it might not be as strong. Fighting isn't my strong suit here either but I have learnt to polish some of my combat skills.
I am truly sorry to hear whoever must have been on the recieving end of this Amada-kun's lethal and non-lethal attacks. The case of broken bones and amputation is something I have dealt with as well- I could ask Azathoth to regenerate their limbs as well. There are some drawbacks like constant hunger and your energy draining away until you are hit with an actual healing spell (Credit to Midnight for helping me refine this process.)
That’s all I have for now. If you still need my help—and frankly, if you don't I will stick to my original plan of defending myself—then I suggest we set aside our grievances and meet face-to-face. Can't exactly deny the need for a decent cup of coffee nowadays.
