My opinions on ships

(yes I'm this bored just go with it) (and SPOILERS BELOW if you haven't played or seen all of V3)

Anyways it's one of those ships that was made to be shipped purposely by the developers. This is very evident by the amount of screentime they have together and the moments they shared together. In a real life setting, this would (in my opinion) either be a good friendship or an ongoing relationship even. However regarding the criticism that it feels rushed, I do agree with it to a certain degree. It happened very quickly, and while it was obvious that it would have happened had Kaede lived, it also felt slightly jarring how fast they just trusted one another and had all that connection. However where I will make a stop is that this does not make the ship any less apparent, like it or not it may as well be Shuichi's Main ship. One small reason I feel this what the intention truly was had to be Kaede's love hotel. It had no particular fantasy or role for Shuichi to play. It was one of the few scenes (another being Kokichi if I'm correct?) where the "fantasy" is simply to be with Shuichi In a relationship, and for him to be out of his shy shell. It feels more genuine compared to some others, and it's clear Shuichi At least shared some feelings for her, if we take into account he literally held his A R M OUT TO K A E D E When she was being dragged to her execution, and how shook he was when it actually happened, more than others. Despite the praise I'm giving, I can only give this ship a 8/10 at most, thank you all for reading
