WOW I HADN'T EVEN CONSIDERED THAT... it's been so dang long since i read homestuck that eridan showing up just pinged as like "well either he is gonna supermurder someone or be supermurdered" I TOTALLY EVEN FORGOT HE WAS LIKE CASTMATES WITH KANAYA FOR A SECOND. i just think of the survivors as being in like a category of their own, gosh, castmates who needs those!! i just realized that's gonna be rough for gundam and sonia too with the dango rumps running around... THIS ROUND IS TERRIBLE, EVERYONE IS GONNA BE SO HAUNTED BY THEIR PASTS good lord i'm so looking forward to it.
re: craven castle chizuru stuff oH MAN kaoru is gonna be pissed... he hasn't really given up on seeing chizuru again, but it's kind of taken a back seat to this much more pressing matter of dealing with a threat that has become even bigger in his mind than humans. when kaoru dedicates himself to a goal, he dedicates himself wholly, so even though he occasionally pines over his old home and thinks about chizuru a lot, it's in a relatively passive way. he's put almost 100% of his energy and time into finding a way to bring the producers down and he's honestly not that unhappy with doing so.
SO THIS he's really going to take as a hugely aggressive, antagonizing sign from the producers. he'll assume that they brought chizuru in for the draw of having a set of twins who don't remember each other potentially aiding in the death of one another all for the sake of ratings and it will make him furious. the combination of having to deal with that and busting out his facade again after three years without is going to be super rough on him and if stiles wasn't there with him, he'd probably start sliding back into bad habits and his old toxic mindset very quickly. as things are though, he's only going to want to take down the producers more after any initial emotional outbursts and he's well aware of the fact that he'll have to bring his best game if he wants chizuru to survive. BASICALLY even though he'll flip his shit initially and probably struggle emotionally for the duration of the game, it probably won't be that bad for him in the long run since it'll just give him another motivator and an extremely solid reason to not mess this mission up.
