actually imagine the AIs don’t copy UNDEAD’s trauma but only their superficial traits of their past self. Kaoru AI doesn’t realise why he acts like a playboy, Rei AI doesn’t feel the burn out Ore Rei had etc etc
OUGH. THIS IS SO SMART. YOUR BRAIN.
especially since their superficial traits are what they probably think their fans / friends see of them, so you can explore how the people closest to them who see past their superficiality (e.g. like rei and adonis' conversation where rei is surprised that adonis could tell when he was depressed) and know that the AI aren't the real deal, just shallow copies 🥺 and we could get what you were talking about, the members of undead talking to their old selves and showing them that their actions were negative coping mechanisms and were making them miserable in the long run. the AI had so much potential!!
