Thanks, I hate it (not your work, but if she had one).

So, in other topics ... it was recently impressed upon me in the Discord channel that the cross-game appearances we've seen by Amy, Arnold, a "Melody Live" sign, the nudist woman and Koko were merely disconnected characters and events - they don't imply any connection between the games at all. In fact, they are supposed to exist in non-overlapping universes.
I suppose it's my fault for missing this subject sometime ago, but I seem to recall us talking about timeline differences between the games because of Koko and various other things that showed they were in the same universe, just different locales and timelines. Somehow this "not the same universe" aspect got completely by me, perhaps because I am slow.
Not wanting to create noise, was it just me missing this point, perhaps?
And, if all of these cross-game appearances were not to imply any connections at all, I am truly disappointed. That makes them simply throwaways and meaningless, hollow devices to fill a temporary need and attempt a cute recollection of the other game, IMHO. The use of Koko as the same character, different time, in both games as a completely unrelated persona across both games seems like a huge, missed opportunity: future games could also build on these appearances and create an implicit, intruiging timeline of events outside the plotline which could hold discussion interest well after the games are done. Seeing related objects and people can bring up various scenarios as to what they meant and how they integrated at that point in a given game vs others - there is the chance for a rich, fun path that is an unsaid story, outside of the major subplots.
