- Original Release: June 24, 2020 (Fanfiction.net), June 25, 2020 (AO3)
Summary
A blissful Kyoko eagerly awaits a movie date with her new boyfriend Makoto tonight. What movie will they end up watching together?Tropes
- Heroic BSoD: Played for Laughs. The plot of Spider-Man (Japan) becomes so absurd to Kyoko that she faints three episodes in.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Played for Laughs. All of the officers at the police station note how odd it is to see Kyoko smiling and outwardly happy, to the point that they wonder if whether or not it's actually Kyoko.
- Shout-Out: The movies that Makoto suggests for his and Kyoko's movie date before settling on Spider-Man (Japan) are The Maltese Falcon (though it's not made clear if it's the 1931 version or the 1941 version), The Silence of the Lambs, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
- When She Smiles: Kyoko spends the beginning of the chapter with a big smile on her face and being incredibly happy over her feelings for Makoto.
- Willing Suspension of Disbelief: Present!Kyoko's able to watch Spider-Man (Japan) without suffering a Heroic BSoD due to the plot not being that unrealistic compared to what she, Makoto, and the Class 78 survivors had to go through during the Tragedy.
