I think it was rather soon he startet tutoring Noriko. Not more than a year or something, after the car crash. And funnily it seems to have been Norikos and Nikis parents that asked Sensei to do that. Why they didn't tell Niki about it, would be interesting to know.

It's actually pretty crazy how much I enjoy this game. I have a 5 page word doc filled with excerpts and passages from the game that just really stuck out to me. I'm not typically the type of person to do things like that. I suspect by the time this game finishes and I replay it again that the word doc will grow to dozens of pages
Gonna have to put the script for this game on Goodreads or some shit

I suspect that when I sit down to fully annotate the game, it's gonna be a lot more than 5 pages.

I need some serious reminders or "fact" check on which god is which and what they do now ever since Sekai joins the divine being party
My understanding is:
1. Nozomu = horny ball of light = god with many eyes = first god = indifferent = (?) husband of Sekai
2. God of wire = second god = god with no eyes = callous = any description about tree, wire, or computer = the entity responsible for visual alterations on characters = HOPE = current employer of Moyo and long Maya = PRAISE BE = Head of Angels (Sekai included?)= I assume to be the cause of all the creepy shit and the time-looping, resetting Kumomi
3. Cannot remember which event introduced the third, concerned god (only remember in Trinity Pt III where USER3 seized control saying I am very concerned)
Welcome for corrections, my mind is too boggled

HOPE, the angels, the Mayas, and Sekai are all associated with Nozomu, not the Wire god. HOPE may actually be a face of Nozomu.
Also -- HOPE/Nozomu = Callous; Wire God = calm, 3rd god = concerned.

oh forsure. I have to stop myself from copying down too many quotes. I started it really to just write down the truly excellent examples of prose and I'm always left to consider whether or not each line I read is really worthy of being with the rest. I tend to skip a lot of good stuff and always end up regretting it an hour later when I notice that the line is still spinning around in my head.
but that just means I have to replay the game again sometime and get the ones I originally passed up, which is a welcomed task
The third god is Pareidolia right? The god that didn't come across as evil or insane

Yes, and I will still struggle to remember that name when Selebus finally finishes this game in 6-7 years.

Pretty sure he was WAY younger than that when they started, like "kid Maya" kind of young, cuz
1 given the tone of childish memories he has of her
2 the clearly VERY childish happy events (where Sensei is clueless about what sex is)
3 the parallel with Sensei x Maya, which start when she was much younger than she is now
(plus, Sensei's guilt for doing the same thing that was done to him at that age was probably one of the main reasons to all the shit that's happening)
4 age of consent is 13 in Japan (crazy, right?
) and she's labeled as a pedophile so i guess Sensei was youngerBTW why sensei doesn't have the same alliteration as his brother like all the families, Karin/Kirin, Sara/Sara, even Ami/Akira...
or better, why his brother don't have any alliteration at all (Nozomu Arawaka)? Maybe it doesn't mean anything but it's discordant
Assuming it's not just a writing thing to make the names of the characters we see more memorable (it probably is tbh, it's a pretty common thing), Nozomu doesn't really have a "normal" role. Considering the alliterative names being on every single character we interact with, I think it's pretty reasonable to assume those aren't their actual names (assuming they all exist outside the weird loop reality).or better, why his brother don't have any alliteration at all (Nozomu Arawaka)? Maybe it doesn't mean anything but it's discordant
If they're assigned names it wouldn't be that off for his to be different than the rest, given the context.

This was one of my arguments that "Nozomu" and "Sekai" weren't the actual names of Ami's parents. Every other name in the game is alliterative. Hell, even the married women's names are alliterative. Except for those two.BTW why sensei doesn't have the same alliteration as his brother like all the families, Karin/Kirin, Sara/Sara, even Ami/Akira...
or better, why his brother don't have any alliteration at all (Nozomu Arawaka)? Maybe it doesn't mean anything but it's discordant
The rule seems to apply only inside the world of the time loop.BTW why sensei doesn't have the same alliteration as his brother like all the families, Karin/Kirin, Sara/Sara, even Ami/Akira...

Outside of it, we have Saki mother of Akira and (presumably) Nozomu, and Sekai and Nozomu parents of Ami. No consistence whatsoever
Edit: no need to verify if Nozomu is the actual father of Ami, since we know it should also apply to adoptive parents (Rika/Rin) and bridal surnames (Maki Miyamura, Sara Sakakibara, Tsubasa Tsukioka), so it's not a matter of biological links

There's also Kiyoko/Kyoko Nagasawa, whose name is written in hiragana on the wall in Something Everyone Knows and Ignores, and who appears to be one of the girls in the upside-down house based on the twitter account.

I can't recall if this is even possible... but i think I'm going to try to do a no sex run of this game. see how far i can get. skip button will be my friend, should stop skipping on new info... i hate the fake 'puzzles' so much any repeat play through leaves me with dread
