Is katagiri going to be an antagonist later in the story? Or are you going to nerf him and make him fodder? He isn’t as good as Ayanokoji, but he is better than anybody else in ANHS or even the entire COTE verse excluding Ayanokoji, so he would be a good antagonist.
And Yuuichi’s “mistake” of attempting to blackmail them when there was a camera recording the entire thing is definitely in-character for Yuuichi, since he often intentionally portrays himself as weak and vulnerable as a facade to conceal the progression of his plans and strategies, and then he turns the table at the moment where his opponent has lost the battle before they even knew they weren’t winning.
The reason I commented here and not on your fic is because my comments disappear after I post them for some reason.
