You've Been Tricked. BAMBOOZLED INTO READING LORE. - Tumblr Posts

koishi headcanoning / theorizing time / talking about whatever the heck once again:

i think before koishi closed their eye, their "battle theme" was a lot more like Last Remote than it was like Hartmann's Youkai Girl.

Last Remote is an incredibly emotional and bittersweet song. it's representative of all of the pain that koishi left behind, but also all of the beauty in life she abandoned. his relationship with his sister will never be the same again, and he's barely had any chances to make lasting connections with others since.

meanwhile, Hartmann's Youkai Girl quite literally references her current condition as an unconscious wanderer. it's got a lot of silly energy and it's comparatively happy to Last Remote, but there's just something... wrong about it. it's like a false paradise.

im not saying koishi isn't a silly girl at heart (it is still her unconscious self talking after all), but i do think a theoretical battle theme for koishi-with-her-third-eye-open would sound a lot more like a mix of these two songs. probably leaning towards Last Remote if they're still having a mental breakdown.
