1. The Musical Route.

Hear me out on this one. Imagine the bombs in the SDU members’ necks malfunctioned due toe Sirei’s remote damaged from Eito’s attempted murder. After the attack, the all the bombs set off while a student was singing and singing became the only thing preventing another trigger. At first nobody would know until Sirei looked into the problem and concluded that it’s singing that’ll help everyone. What’s worse, the Revive-o-matic also replaces the bombs with defective ones, so most of the 2nd-to-Last—Academy members were slain and revived… and are now forced to sing in order to not explode again. To be honest, this is pretty dumb, but sounds fun, and I came up with this as a Comedy Route with Eito included. And no, I don’t mean they’ll sing 24/7. I mean like once a day, or at least we’ll see a few musical scenes.

2. Puppeteer Route.

Like how Takumi was possessed by a G’ie parasite data in a Slasher route. Nozomi got stuck with a G’ie into a new Timeloop that’ve made her into a serial killer. The twist? Or not so much of one. Takumi doesn’t believe Nozomi is the killer despite more and more evidence suggesting she has killed the victims. So, obviously, Takumi plays detective and Kako joins him to prove Nozomi’s innocence, if only the many new and mysterious evidence weren’t forged and planted by G’ie Nozomi. G’ie Nozomi would be the focus, and we can see how she’s making everyone her puppets to be at each other’s throats.

3. Pariah Route

The last straw happened; Takumi has proven his leadership and abilities as a team member to be terrible. Some of the SDU members are dead: Kako, Moko , Hiruko, Nozomi, Yugamu, and Eito. The surviving members kicked Takumi out, not wanting him and his faulty abilities as a member to further damage their chances of survival. Takumi left the Academy without much to take aside water and a weapon. Takemaru, however, gave Takumi the keys to the Bus so he has shelter at least. Takemaru, while doubting Takumi, thought the treatment is unfair, but he couldn’t convince the rest of the SDU to allow Takumi to stay without throwing him into a cage. Bidding farewells, Takumi drove off aimlessly while Takemaru became leader. Takumi eventually arrived at the 2nd-to-Last Defense Academy where some kids younger than him stayed. The kids are revealed to be the supposedly the Third-to-Last-Defense, but were rejected due to having weaker hemoanima (even weaker than Kamyuhn’s.) Takumi was horrified that children not even at Kako and Ima’s age were considered to fight in a war and were abandoned because they lack strong hemoanima like he does. Takumi decided to take in the children under his wing and swore he’ll protect them, and he can teach them how to better harness their power. Sadly, Takumi discovered that they knew the truth behind the war and their origins when they shared with Takumi who has yet to know he’s a clone and he just discovered his little siblings. Still, Takumi promised even if it’s mainly out of guilt and feeling obligated to ensure these children survive the Genocide attack.

4. Imprisoned by Memories Route

Inspired by Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories plot; The LDA has been taken over by an unknown force that changed it into a prison where the SDU have to live in a replica of their memories haunting the place. Takumi has his childhood friend & his parents, but Takumi by then knows they’re just memories he was fed while he grew in a capsule. Still, Takumi was happy to see his parents’ faces again. But, not every one has a good childhood. Takumi realized the LDA became a prison and he heads off to rescue others from their prisons, with the help of Kaura.

5. Love and Friendship Route

Eito looped back to the 2rd day from the Goodbye Eito Route. Eito quickly catches on that he gone back in time as evidenced by Sirei’s lesson on Hemoanima and Takumi’s interference. Eito attempted to explain to Takumi he gone back in time just like him, but Takumi wouldn’t listen. After a battle, Eito fled in hopes he can wait out Takumi’s aggression, but his attempt to escape caused some gym equipment to hit Takumi’s head and nearly crush Sirei. The next day, Eito woke up in his cage like the last timeline and was told by Sirei that Takumi has amnesia. Eito took advantage of this and offered Sirei knowledge on the Commanders and where some of Invader forces reside in since he was in allegiance with them for a while. Sirei begrudgingly accepts, but has Eito on a leash and the moment Sirei suspects that he may be lying, it’s head popping time. In between battles, Eito got to hang out with his siblings and appreciate their company, something he could have the last time. Still, Eito’s condition, his glitch from birth curses him to smell painful scents, see horrifying sights, and searched for a cure that won’t require him to burn his sense of smell and pull his eyes out.

6. You’re Mine Route

An alternative route with Takumi having amnesia, V’ehxness invaded the LDA and demanded they hand over Takumi to her. After the battle, the SDU debated if handing over an amnesiac person to an enemy could help keep V’ehxness off their backs or would only add fuel to an already raging wildfire. Tsubasa came up with an idea to hide cameras on or in Takumi’s body so he can be their spy. Problem about Takumi’s anmesia remains as well as risking Takumi’s life by throwing him into the hornet’s nest. So Takumi offered himself on a silver platter to V’ehxness due to wanting to help out the SDU despite not remembering anything. V’ehxness took Takumi and have him as her boy, which disturbed both sides. Addamaque was one of the first to notice V’ehxness’s personality took a shift into yandere territory as Eva took a step closer to inspect Takumi and caused V’ehxness to be hostile towards her. Not that V’ehxness’s hostility is anything new, but lately she came obsessed with Takumi for some reason. This route becomes a stealth game as Takumi must find secrets to help his friends and escape from V’ehxness.
