Naoto Bad End Au - Tumblr Posts

some assorted kannao doodles I have accumulated-

the first two are older, but the last two are from an au I've been rotating in my mind recently...

GRABBING YOU

what's the "Naoto Bad End" au if I may ask? ^^

Omg this took me awhile to get to but tysm for the ask!

It's an AU (I might change the name of it) I'm working on where the Investigation Team failed Naoto's dungeon (escaping during the fight) and continued the investigation after Naoto's death.

It's not all bad- Naoto lives on as a ghost and is determined to continue their investigation. However, it seems that the only one able to see Naoto is Kanji, who was heavily injured in the fight against Naoto's Shadow. Naoto is essentially forced to tag along with Kanji to try and help with the investigation, which doesn't exactly work out smoothly considering Naoto is barely friends with Kanji at this point in the story.

Rise also seems to be able to pick up on Naoto's presence slightly outside of the TV world, and much stronger within it. It's possible that she can hear and see Naoto, but she doesn't interact with them as blatantly.

It's not a super complex AU- I mostly want to explore the inter-character dynamics within it. I wish the game would let us explore these 'bad endings' beyond a single phone call. And I wish we saw more of how the killings would psychologically mess with the characters. Also ghost shenanigans?

Hopefully I'll be able to write and draw more stuff for it soon!
