okay so I could only write this as one of those "imagine this headcanon" posts that are pretty much fanfiction in themselves just nobody ever says so but
imagine that, in r4, the protagonist is Sai from Angelic Layer (or the one from Hikaru no Go or the one from that harem trash show Daimaou or I think there's one in Naruto but I only ever saw one episode of Naruto back in high school and I think it was a filler besides)
and the twist is that they're all clones or mirror duplicates or idec just not the original them
and the final investigation has files on all the previous canon protags in chronological order, marked in the same way all the other files we've seen have been
just so the mastermind can stealth-insult the protag
with files marked TWO BIT SAI
substitute STR from Blackā Rock Shooter if you thought Dave was more protag than Haruka idekman I thought it was funny
