Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.44.0] [Selebus]

[DeSkel15]

IIRC Akira lived somewhere in the old district, but rented another space for tutoring, like Niki rents a sketch ass basement to teach singing.
I doubt it was Tsuneyo's place tho, or Noriko and Maya would probably know Tsuneyo, but it was a sketch ass place with a bed and bathroom. Probably one of those one room cheap ass apartment.

Possibly, I don't recall his apartment and the place he lived and tutored being noted to be different, but I can definitely see where you're coming from. Him being the Nakayama's neighbor is like the only thing that seems to imply he lived elsewhere besides the current place and the apartment, and I just assumed that was his parent's house.

Can anyone tell me the source of the sad violin music used for Mollies theme? Or like just recommend something similar. I am sort of hooked on the genre thanks to this game.

I believe it was an event either Maya or noriko(I think it was her but not 100%) tell him he rented out a space and he even has an inner monologs about it when he visits Nikis basement one time.

... Celtic fiddle?
Irish fiddle can also be called sometimes

The song itself is The Dawning of the Day, but I yet to find the exact same violin-only cover; for similar genre look up Irish Celtic Fiddle

Edit: nvm found

Thanks.

Overall, I'm not sure the gow cares about Sensei's past or actually "cares" at all, and just makes sure he can keep running. It seems more like Sensei himself doesn't want to remember it, and Noz doesn't want him to remember things that could get in it's way. Of course, I could be wrong.

But Sensei has started to want to remember more and more, maybe THAT'S why he's able to learn about his past where beforehand whenever something like that happened he got reset?

I think Maya's misinterpreting what happened when he "reset." Just like she misinterpreted what was causing his blackouts.

She thinks the blackouts are caused by memories. They're not. They're caused by the angels. His blackouts happen whenever he gets touched by one of the angels (as we see in the scene leading up to Toys).

The angels are using the blackouts to make him behave as the new Nozomu (who literally seems to be in charge during the Sara rape scene, even saying that women are just fleshlights to him), but when Ami finds out about it -- well, we see how she is.

I think he resets when Ami catches him and kills him.

 

[Pervyfox]

yeah, that's fairly solid, but maya does say she straight up broke several iterations of him in the past. though i guess if we are going with the Maya being an angel theory as well then that would make some sort of sense.
i understand not giving us all the answers right away and whatnot, but the fact that in a lot of the blackout scenes theres no hint of angels around..
I do agree that Ami almost certainly has something to do with him being reset. or whoever exactly is in control of her there.

Trying to not focus on one particular theory is hard. I personally feel like we are still missing a good amount to really start solving things but..
In the Ask Sel section on discord someone asked "Is there still a major secret that you think we should have figured out by now?"
And Sel said "A bunch of them but most people refuse to move on from theories they've grown attached to"

I believe it was an event either Maya or noriko(I think it was her but not 100%) tell him he rented out a space and he even has an inner monologs about it when he visits Nikis basement one time.

I recall Noriko saying that "creepy old apartment of yours", but nothing about him renting it for tutoring. Also can't find the Niki basement monologue you're referring to. Could have missed it though.

 

[BlackDays]

Noriko in her Loxosceles Reclusa event.

"...for my parents to drive me over to that grody, crumbling building where you taught me so many things."

 

[DeSkel15]

Could be. Current Sensei definitely seems to want to know more than his previous versions ever did.

Although, it also could be that it was specifically Maya telling him about the past and trying to get close to him that has broke previous versions of him. Ami, Niki, Noriko, etc, all seem to be able to bring up his past or his age or even his name and he's mostly fine (apparently he can even ignore when people say his name). Maya does it though, and she becomes a bird to him or he breaks.

 

[QQP_Purple]

Honestly I think that's because it was she who broke everything to begin with. My personal theory is that when she first eloped with him he didn't behave the way she wanted him. Maybe he was too broken and killed him self or something. I don't know. But than she did something to try and get him back and that's what caused the whole time loop mess. And a consequence of that is that when ever she personally gets too close things break even worse.

 

[QQP_Purple]

Also what happens if I pick to have sex with Maki? Like, what events does it effect later?

I will say she never called it an apartment in that event.

but if you want me to search for a specific frame for a specific line, nah, i dont have anywhere near the patience for it, though i do periodically go through each girls events one by one, I legit can't be bothered to write down each event that corresponds to a theory. ( I really hate how difficult it is to find things in this game, i know someone suggested a really good idea for the wiki where you can search events by who is in them and you can add multiple people to the search... that would be fantastic. there are also scenes/frames being cut out of these replay events now for several updates which bothers me too)
the niki's basement thing i'm not entirely sure what he said in his thoughts, just alluded to his tutoring days he cant remember and compared it to what niki is doing.

 

[Bingoogus]

That was me, and yes, i know it's surprising for my dumb ass to come up with such a good idea, but as i do enjoy self deprecating myself, allow me to diminish any garnered esteem by saying i got the idea from Gelbooru, any booru really, adding tags and minusing out others for ever more specific porn entirely changed the way i thought about categorising and searching systems, before that you basically just had 'search for futa hentai and dig for hours to find something good', now it's 'ah, so you want stretched-anus creampie aftersex bondage latex doctor medical-examination femdom? Alright, here you go'.

I've got dozens, if not hundreds, of theories, some abandoned, some explicitly disproven in-game (the old pregnancy theory). The pregnancy theory getting bombed in-game made it clear that it's better to have a list of possible theories and continually come up with new ones than ride-or-die on a single one.

So now I just throw shit at the walls and see what sticks. Tomorrow, I'll insist that whoever thinks Ami's been repeatedly killing Akira is a god-damned moron and that it's really the Noriko doing it. Or something. The theorizing is the fun bit. Being right -- if that ever happens -- will just be a bonus.

Even with that function, half the content in newer events is not available in Replay anyway because of flag-dependent dialogue.

ami is repeatedly killing akira?
I mean my theory was just the one time
i'm interested in this though
I recall some of my bad theories... now to be fair... these were made more to piss people off and cause i thought they were hilarious than any real attempt to make a theory
Mathew theory- there is a guy named Mathew in the game, and he hangs out in front of the school... every damn day and he spouts coded numbered messages... can you figure out what mathew is trying to tell us?
Sana has a penis theory- i was really proud over how bad this one was while at the same time still being plausible up till sel showing her down under. I have never been happier to have a theory destroyed like this one. I'm also kinda happy and dissapointed that i think this theory actually made sel overhaul a bunch of lines for sana/sarah in the rework that could've been taken as suggestive. when i did my first skip replay to catch up do to my first missed event since playing the game the amount of stops on sarah and sana after the remake were huge implying changed dialogue

yeah...
thats what i meant by the cutting of content... thanks for putting it in more technical terms.
