iirc that was part of makoto depression, she thought that fucking with sensei, her current idolatred person, would fill the emptyness she had. When that happened she realized that it didnt help at anything and lead her to a deeper depression, so Sensei did nothing directly to mess her.
Makoto's "depression" was nowhere close to making her suicidal until she got with Sensei, who put his responsibilities on her and did everything to her except kiss her. There's a reason that Sensei and Makoto talk about him planting a "seed" in her before she jumps. His actions convinced her to give up.
Quick answer : Yes.
Didn't she say as much and more during that creepy fuck in her room? Something like trying again and again but saying she thought she did at least which strongly implied getting reset back to life every time, i swear she mentioned almost the exact same thing after the bluejaying death reset sent her bonkers.
Ami also really helped her grieve, and was there for her, after losing her dad. I think that's the main thing that Makoto needs. Someone to understand and be there for her, and like you said affection and appreciation.
She implies she tried to kill herself but it always became a hallucination:
I really don't think this fits it just being a hallucination, Selly knows what the reader would take from that and it seems pretty damn intentional to have it actually saying "oh boy has she tried but she keeps getting reset back". I understand holding reservations for certain things but this is a game and Selly definitely intends his subtext, there'd be no greater way to give a nod to this situation without just stating it outright, "i've tried to kill myself multiple times but it seems every time i do i just zip back to just before". Exactly like in bluejay.
I agree, but you never really know in this game. Makoto was also hearing screams, turned into a rapist, and more or less everything that happened felt like a dream to her afterwards. I overall don't really consider broken Makoto a reliable narrator, and I like to acknowledge other possibilities at times. I do think she likely overdosed though. The pills reference back at the beach visit may have foreshadowed that.
I am curious on the context behind those creepy ass detentions as Yumi has put it up:
What a normal Filipino Father thing to do. Jokes aside, I'm not even sure if he's japanese or Filipino. Probably Japanese cause Chika's mom is definitely Filipino.
Yeah it pisses me off, every time a patch comes out, for the next week all i have is a convoluted series of earworms playing non stop. From the moment i wake up to the last thing i hear before passing out, it's one of like 20 tracks from this damn game.
As we learned lately people were calling Sensei Akira all the time, at least if they knew that name.
Can you share with me the link he shares, there so much comment and it hard to find it again here
