Oh hey guys. Glad you could make it. This is probably going to be shortest commentary yet. Why? Let me share a secret with you all. Anyway, if you haven't read the main fanfic, please go away and read it. This fanfic here is a commentary and dumps for the said fanfic.
Chapter 2 here is currently in my personal opinion, is the weakest chapter to date. That chapter only exist to establish a relationship of some kind between Robbie and Ruby. Plus, that chapter doesn't have much of a secret anyway. Regardless, I'm still going to share them with you.
Oh, forgot to mention this in Chapter 1's commentary. Robbie's inner monologue is inspired by Hachiman Hikigaya's inner monologue/narration from Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabu Kome wa Machigatteiru (My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As I Expected).
Now then, Chapter 2 start! Or not. As I mentioned earlier, Chapter 2 doesn't much of a secrets or references. There's also no deleted scenes or parts. In fact, there's only 3 thing that I could even share with you guys; Ruby's apartment, Zwei, and the 'Off The Record' at the end. We'll start off with the apartment first.
Ruby's apartment is based of Azusa Fuyutsuki's apartment from Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO). Specifically, the live-action drama from 1998 starring Takashi Sorimachi as the title character. I chose that particular style of a home for my depiction of Ruby since I thought it really fits her lifestyle (which I've depicted in this fanfic. I can't stress this hard enough).
Now to Zwei. Now, before you starts sending me hates for killing of Zwei, let me present a fact: a Pembroke Welsh Corgi (a dog breed Zwei is based on) has a life expectancy of 12-15 years. So what does this means?
When Zwei first appears, I'm assuming that he's mostly likely to be around 4, 5, or 6 years old. I could be wrong about this since I have no knowledge whatsoever regarding dogs as I am raised a Muslim (meaning that dogs is a no) so please feel free to correct me or provide some info or 2 about dogs. I could just Google that, but I feel like knowing something from you guys a bit more direct. Anyway, back to Zwei. As I were saying, he could be 4, 5, or 6 years old. Since my fanfic takes place 10 years later, he's likely to be way too old or passed away. I choose to have him died before the story starts since I don't think that writing about an old, aging dog is going to be fun at all. Might as well put him out of misery rather than to suffer in my fanfic. Sorry about that guys.
Finally, the 'Off The Record' for Chapter 2. The OTR, which is a wanted description for Robbie's alter ego the Grimm Archer, that are based off a wanted poster for Batman from 1 of the The Dark Knight Rises' viral posters.
I guess that's it then. Onward to Chapter 3.
