I’ve been actually trying to plot out a fan-written sequel to Ai’s route from ASAS as of lately so just writing stuff out to keep me on track. I guess you could say… this is the opening for it. For those who played Ai’s route in All Star, it’s all coming back. (’:
Enjoy!

Honestly, I didn’t have any expectations that they would mention Aine in Ai’s episode, since that’s so much depth to go into to fit in one episode AND I predicted that they would be going by Debut since this season seems to focus a lot on senpai-kouhai relationships when it focused on Quartet Night.
Also note, in Debut, Aine wasn’t mentioned in Natsuki’s or Syo’s route concerning Ai. They dealt with discovering Ai was a robot and teaching him emotions while dealing with their own problems. Aine was only mentioned in charcter in Tokiya’s route, as “Reiji’s friend who disappeared.” So I think that’s pretty much the reason why he’s not mentioned in Ai’s episode.
I’m not keeping my hopes up that Aine will be mentioned in Reiji’s episode but eh, we’ll see.
At least they finally got to mention Ai’s a robot after TWO years.

tldr; an almost complete analysis of the character Aine Kisaragi written by yours truly - 1.8k+ words;
do note, a a good portion of it is inference but honestly this is the only way I see his character to be as. I’m still actively learning and inferring about him more as I find more concise translations and summaries about him. Have fun reading~
trigger warnings also for: depression, attempted suicide
edit: added prediction why he chose the beach
edit as of 5/14/16: about reiji - reiji was indeed a child actor and enrolled at recommendation of his mother but he wasn’t motivated to work hard as an idol. meeting aine changed him to work towards being an idol.
