The issue I had (way back when, and might be wrong about) was that--I thought, at least--Hisao used an analogy like "keep your secrets in a grave" or something when arguing with Emi about not talking about things. She got pissed (in a "not even going to yell. Get out, NOW." kind of way), and I just remember thinking it was such a stupid thing to say because it was SO OBVIOUS by that point that Emi's father had died in the car accident.Like zARRR said, a lot of the routes have the heroine get mad at you for being invasive. I remember Hanako and Lilly being mad as shit at you if you try too hard to help them. Boundaries and independence are important. It's kinda alarming that most other VNs give the opposite message.
But the fact we're having a multi-person discussion about this one little detail a decade after the game's release just shows what a memorable gem this game was, and it will always have a little extra special meaning for me because it was my first one of these games.
I didn't even realize until now (or realized when I played, then forgot) that the game is paired into girls who complement each other--the girl with no legs is friends with the girl with no arms. The girl who is super self-conscious about marks covering half her body is friends with a blind girl. And the girl who talks too much is friends with a girl who's deaf. Neat.
