History VisualNovel / Lkyt

However, when the Shoreline Nation receive signs that the cataclysm may already start far sooner than they had expected, they are forced to take immediate and drastic action if they hope to counter the threat the hollows pose and prevent humankind's complete extinction.

* WorkingOutTheirEmotions: In his route, after Takeru learns that the mystic force that the Shoreline Nation uses isn't all that different from the corruption of the hollows, he is so shaken by the truth that he asks Tasuku to spar with him on the mountainside overlooking the city.

* RayOfHopeEnding: Even then, it's still pretty bleak in nature. Ango's bad ending shows what were to happen if [[spoiler: Tasuku meets his demise the same way he did in Takeru and Yael's ''good'' endings. This time around, however, Tasuku doesn't get to have a bond to his beloved person, which is what kept a part of spirit tethered to the mortal world in the other endings. As a result, the mother essence manages to return to the underworld and regains control over the hollows, making the Dark Reign all but imminent. Knowing that they have no way left of combating the impending apocalypse, Takeru and Towa discuss about what measures they can still employ to at least ensure the survival of their people until the threat of the Dark Reign subsides once enough of the world's population has been consumed by the hollows]].

* MeaningfulName: The visual novel isn't given its title without reason. [[spoiler: "Love kills you twice"... as in both Tasuku and his love interest will die twice. The first time is due to the Mitate family's treachery, and the second time is so that the mother essence is permanently sealed, ensurinig that the Dark Reign will never endanger humanity again. In spite of their ultimately tragic circumstances, both still take comfort in the fact that they are now TogetherInDeath]].

* NotHisSled: If the player opts to take Ango's route after having taken Takeru and Yael's, they may expect [[spoiler: the celebratory banquet]] to end the same way it did in the true ending of the latter two routes... except that it doesn't. In Ango's true ending, [[spoiler: the banquet concludes peacefully with everyone returning home rather than falling asleep from the drugged food and wine, and Ango takes Tasuku back to his quarters where they share an intimate moment, before Ango gives Tasuku a cup of ''amazake''-- which turns out to have been laced. It's ''then'' that Ango kills Tasuku after the latter falls completely asleep]].

Ango's bad ending shows what were to happen if [[spoiler: Tasuku meets his demise the same way he did in Takeru and Yael's ''good'' endings. This time around, however, Tasuku doesn't get to have a bond to his beloved person, which is what keept a part of spirit tethered to the mortal world in the other endings; thus the mother essence manages to return to the underworld and regains control over the hollows, making the Dark Reign all but imminent.

* {{Utsuge}}: Even more so than parade's previous two works, both of which are emotionally and mentally heavy in their own right. While ''No, Thank You!!!'' and ''Room No. 9'' do not have a single truly happy ending, the relatively good endings still have protagonists get to live to see another day. With ''Lkyt.'', however, [[spoiler: the ''good'' endings have Tasuku and his chosen love interest meet their tragic demise]].

* DepopulationBomb

* NonStandardGameOver:
** Takeru and Yael's bad endings show either what happens to the soldiers embarking on the mission heading to underworld or how things are faring back in the Shoreline Nation when the mission inevitably ends in failure and the hollows make their way towards the city.
