On one of my favourite NDRV3 ships

mikogalateaI like Kaede/Tsumugi a lot more than I probably should.

By rights I ought to see the ship as totally awful, because not only is Tsumugi the mastermind who framed Kaede for Rantarou's murder and got her executed, but she basically doesn't even see the other kids as actual people. (Hell, she barely sees herself as an actual person, for that matter.)
I really liked their FTEs together, though. They're some of my favourite FTEs as Kaede, actually. ^^; There's quite a bit of foreshadowing and dramatic irony to be had in them, and the second one where they bond over their limited hobbies and try to come up with something new to get into together (like café dates!) is super cute on the surface. Tsumugi mentioning that a "new story" would come of that amused me by giving me the mental image of her writing a yuri fanfic about it, too; I kind of wonder if she had Kaede's in-game personality set up in such a way that she (Tsumugi) wouldn't mind being shipped with her.
I think the appeal of the ship to me is that it's ostensibly super cute but has that underlying awfulness to it thanks to Tsumugi's true nature and role in things.
