The whole point and the whole tragedy of this is that Hikaru has died. He is never coming back. His reanimated corpse walks around inhabited by an eldritch horror, the circuits in his brain feeding it the memories, his life, and experiences, but our Hikaru is dead and gone. We chase his spectre like Yoshiki does, he’s a charismatic dude indeed. Talk about haunting the narrative. But you already knew that so why am being an asshat by explicitly saying this? Idk
since the girl didn't die, my delusional theory of og hikaru's soul floating somewhere out there might not be THAT stupid? maybe there's still a way to put him back in his body (coping)
