@RemenantDespiar Yes, they can tell, just not immediately. Because Komaru and Toko know about Katsumi’s alter, while there is no visual indication to them whether RoD!Katsumi has fronted, they can pretty much pick up that she’s not acting like OG!Katsumi. Nagito is completely unaware bc Katsumi has made an active effort to match her alter’s personality around him, but she obviously didn’t around Komaru and Toko, hence why those two could tell.

@Ek_Oaynib  Hello if you don't mind me asking a question relating to your 3rd book Alter for Ultra Despair Girls where Komaru and Toko meet Katsumi when she showed up during the shrine Could the both of them tell it was her RoD Alter because I know Nagito didn't know until he saw her switch can Komaru and Toko tell the difference between Katsumi and her Alter

@Ek_Oaynib  Okay I'm happy you understand this is my opinion in your story Hajime is Makoto and Katsumi is Kyoko to me in a way  both Hajime and Katsumi are their upperclassmen

Hello again I was just curious about when the written parts for chapter 3 dr2 with Katsumi will be made btw quick question during the tragedy was Katsumi the first brought to future foundations headquarters by Makoto and the others when they were tasked to bring in all 16 Remnants 

Ek_Oaynib

@RemenantDespiar I unfortunately can’t guarantee a time for when they will come out, but it’ll probably take a hot minute. Like I’ve said before, the first two sdr2 chapters have individually taken 6 months which isn’t a good look for the rest of the chapters, but I’ll see what I can do to cut down on the time (no promises lol). This first long week of school is already whooping my ass lmfao and I literally can’t find much time to dedicate myself to sitting down and writing a lot atm. I’ll still try my best to get ch 3 as soon as I reasonably can, fingers crossed!
            
            No, after the events of udg and pre sdr2, Katsumi doesn’t accomplish much tbh. She and the other Remnants are rounded up and taken in by the Future Foundation at the same time as part of Izuru’s plan to put them and the Junko AI in the Neo World Program.

Hello :D

@himikoxmegumincanon I’m happy enough that you would even be interested in my fanfic, so thx! I’m not confident in any other language besides English (ex. couldn’t read an OC fic bc it was in French and I’m a horribly slow French reader ToT), so I understand the feeling haha </3

Hello just out of curiosity do you think Katsumi is more similar to Kyoko, Peko or Maki also when I asked you about when Katsumi and Alter had fused what did you meant by a lot discreet and less apparent to others

RemenantDespiar

@Ek_Oaynib Okay I understand now thanks for answering my question

Ek_Oaynib

@RemenantDespiar I didn't rlly intend for Katsumi to be similar to any character in particular lol. But I think she's definitely the most similar to Maki. I feel like along with Kyoko and Peko, they're all kuuderes, but Katsumi and Maki have a fair amount of tsundere edge to them if that makes sense. They both carry blades which was a funny coincidence. Katsumi threatening Nagito with a scalpel also unintentionally mirrored Maki choking out Kokichi. Both got their death glares as well (I made Katsumi before getting into V3, I swear these are all coincidental ToT). The more I list the similarities, the scarier the coincidences get lol o(TヘTo)
            
            When I said "discreet", it just meant that Katsumi doesn't look or act that different after getting out of the simulation unlike Hajime (since he ended up getting the heterochromia and Izuru's talent + some of his personality). Because RoD!Katsumi's personality is actually very similar to Katsumi and they've been coexisting and living the same memories anyway, their fusing comes off as much more seamless. To an outsider, you can't really tell that Katsumi post-game is a fusion with RoD!Katsumi, since she pretty much acts the way she always does.

My second question when they became the remnants of despair and Katsumi's split personality got affected by despair was she the first one to be found by the future foundation and was asked questions by makoto and his friends who survived also was her split personality the leader of the remnants after Chiaki's execution and can I join your discord server if you have one

Ek_Oaynib

@RemenantDespiar Yes, though unlike Hajime, the joined personalities are a lot more discreet and less apparent to others :)

@Ek_Oaynib Okay that explains it in a way btw can I add you if you're alright with that just out of curiosity did Katsumi and her alter fused like Hajime and Izuru after coming out of the neo world program

@RemenantDespiar Again, spoilers for book 2 below to answer the question lol. But before that, I don't have a discord server, sry about that. The link in my carrd is for my discord user, but it doesn't work, so I need to get on to fixing that lol. If you want to add me, username is @Ek_Oaynib (same username).

            No, Katsumi was still "captured" by the Future Foundation at the same time as the other Remnants of Despair. After the events of UDG, she can't rlly do anything as she's stuck with Nagito (+ Monaca). RoD!Katsumi also makes sure that Katsumi herself can't do much since they are aware of each other's thoughts by the end of the events of UDG. 
            
            RoD!Katsumi also wasn't a leader of the RoD. The group usually operated individually on their own accord. Most of them were doing their own thing and so was RoD!Katsumi. 
            
            Izuru arranged for all the RoD (Katsumi included) to purposefully get captured by the Future Foundation. Makoto originally thinks they are just HPA survivors taken into custody and anything Katsumi said would probably not be taken completely to heart because of her erratic and unstable behaviour with how much the two personalities keep fronting. So once the group's RoD identities are found out, Makoto quickly sends them out to Jabberwock Island to be put in the Neo World Program. Again, anything Katsumi says will not be taken to heart, but even more so bc her RoD status is known. Bc to an outsider. who's to say that the "good" personality is telling them the program could be bad? What if it's the "bad" personality trying to deceive them? Basically, there's nothing Katsumi can do to stop them from being put in the simulation :P 
            
            Sorry if I overexplained it! I just wanted to lore-dump lol and I appreciated the questions!

Hi everyone! Here to provide an update :)
          
          With the way school treats me during the semester, I’ve given up hoping that I can rewrite my Ultimate Biologist fic within a reasonable time haha. My work ethic is infrequent but concentrated bursts of energy where I can get a lot done in one go but only if given several hours of allocated time. Basically, doing a little bit every day is not something my brain allows me to do, but school forces me into that position, so I end up getting nothing done.
          
          Now that summer break is here, I should be able to make much faster progress, but I’ll just say that my current work speed is still slow so plz bear with me. (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥`)
          
          On another note, I have an instagram at @ek_0aynib if you haven’t checked it out already (also in my carrd)! ( ・∇・) I don’t post often but I’d say I’m pretty active there with commenting and stories so check it out if you’d like to chat. ٩( ᐛ )و I might also offer some more Katsumi stuff there if I can actually get myself to learn art lol. 
          
          tl;dr: fic rewrite will be slow and feel free to check out my insta at @ek_0aynib :D
          
          Thx for reading!

Progress report on my Ultimate Biologist fic rewrite! 
          
          HOLY GOD THAT TOOK WAY TOO LONG but all the Chapter 1 parts are done!! It totals to like... over 50k words lmao. Sure can't wait to see the final word count when I'm done rewriting this entire fic .-. Caveat was that I did stop Ch 1 rewrite stuff for a couple months when I decided to overhaul the terminology for the entire fic first. Praying to Lord God up high that the other chapter parts won't take nearly as long. So if you're ever feeling up to it, feel free to give the Chapter 1 section of this fic a read! I'm overall pretty proud with the end result (watch me lose that pride in a year or so lol) and I ended up changing and adding a bunch of stuff that I think was for the better. 
          
          I HATE THAT WATTPAD DOESN'T KEEP TEXT FORMATTING AND IMAGES WHEN YOU COPY-PASTE FROM DOCS AAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH god, that was tedious to do but oh well, at least I'm finally here. Also definitely not unpublishing and republishing all those parts next time bc that overcomplicated things way too much and added like another half-hour of confusion bc the Wattpad writing interface makes me want to rip my hair out haha. Idk what it's like on the reader's side, but sry if republishing ended up overloading your notifications or smth. 
          
          Thx for reading and have a great rest of your day!^^
