Sorry i can't upload images but at the very beginning of the game, when ami visit us in the school office, she ask for keys.
Sensei ask about if there are a spare key under the mat. Ami says someone STOLE THE KEY and they had changed the lock.
Do we know who stole the key. Or was ami lying about it and trying to get the key from sensei so she has more control of sensei's life from the start.

Heavily implied that it was Maya. In fact, Ami very likely knows that it was Maya and is saying that to poke Akira about it.

When Maya reveals that she has the key (I think during her birthday), she may have also mentioned the changing of the locks, but I'm unsure. Probably didn't.

Edit: the other possibility would be Ayane, but since she cloned Akira's cellphone without leaving a trace, I think she'd be able to do it with a key as well.

That scene is important because Yumi ends up thinking Maya is weird because she doesn't want to eat while being watched. However, later Yumi is bashful about eating in front of Sensei. Hypocrisy, or something deeper..........................?

Maya indicates she doesn't want to be watched while she is eating, period.

Yumi specifically doesn't want to be watched by Sensei in particular, because she finds him creepy. Nuance is a thing.

What are the responses to Noriko's event I Really Want to Stay at Your House?
Click to expand...
During the first playthrough, accepting that even if she was a crazy stalker chick, that was way too much. And start pitying the poor girl. On the second playthrough is just added tragedy after being traumatic since the first introduction. Noriko's whole thing is tragedy. Poor Noriko. And to top it all off, she might not even exist.

I'll usually use my mealtime to catch up on videos or series, and I hate to be interrupted.

However, I absolutely adored to sit in a big table for meals with colleagues, and even for meeting new people.

As a wise man said, it depends.

I wouldn't say Selebus is equating the two, but simply that they are both terrible things and people willing to sit through the Io stuff for one example with no problems and then saying they would uninstall if there was a Chinami scene is somewhat absurd from his perspective. Or that from his perspective, trying to maintain some kind of moral superiority in the face of evil by closing the door when a line is crossed after you already watched for countless hours is ridiculous. That sure there is a lesser evil but trying to argue that distinction in the direction of a justification is ridiculous. You either recognised that its mostly all fucked from the start. Or you were lying to yourself by saying it was all fine up until the moment you quit and your still a good boy because you quit the game after making a pointless arbitration of fictional evils so you don't have to feel bad in this happy game.

That's what I think he meant anyway. A happy face makes a happy place, please remember to smile.?.?.?
It probably wasn't worth continuing this line of discussion anyway, so feel free to ignore.

So, this has been on my mind for a while now, but anyone else rather concerned about Ami's new key?:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
I mean, it sounds "innocent" enough, but we've been shown that supernatural things have their own kind of supernatural Doors and supernatural Keys.

A Narrator, presumably Himawari, has mentioned/demonstrated opening several Doors:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
And I should probably mention that Ami's Key looks a lot like HimawariCo's Key:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Not to mention that getting Keys and Opening a Door plays a part in some Puzzle Events.

Anyway, if Ami has a key that can "open anything"; including those supernatural or metaphorical Doors, now...she might be able to open whatever she comes across, and unleash whatever that might be behind it...or locked behind it.

This also seems related to Sensei, so who knows what Ami could unleash whether intentionally or not, that's been locked away in or by or away from Sensei or past Senseis.

His mind has seemingly conjured up rooms and doors multiple times by now, and I can only wonder what might come from opening a few of those doors we've seen in Happy Events, or Happy-ish Events like in Tsuneyo's Event last update:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
(The Doors seem to translate to 68 6f 70 65: "hope" and 73 6c 69 70: "slip")

Possibly, it might even lead to certain characters regaining memories that have been locked away or "forgotten". Which by itself could be good or very bad.

Hell, it might even let Ami time travel, considering Sensei has presumably gone back in time (To 'Nothing is Beautiful') by going through Doors at times.

Or Ami's key just opens normal doors, if it even does that, lmao.

Surprised you did not mention Sara's key that she used to open Yuki's apartment door in the Yuki event "Small Plastic Baggies" as it's the same key.

I am sure it can be easily explained as limitations due to assets. Probably.

Well, if this statement from Sel is to be believed:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Then everyone, Wizards included, will have H-scenes prior to the Dark Route, which is set to be in Chapter 6.

What that means is we’re in for a wild rest of Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 (Fall/Autumn) where the rest of the unlewded characters finally get dicked down. It will be fascinating to see how that all comes about…

Actually that slipped my mind, so good catch, and it would probably make sense for Sara to have one of these "limited edition" keys considering she seems deeply linked to the supernatural stuff going on and is probably part of it:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

It's likely not an asset limitation though, since there's been other kinds of keys shown:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
And it wouldn't really need to be shown if it was.

These Skeleton/Open Anything keys also seem to come in a variety of colors:

Based off Chapter 3's 'Times New Roman' Main Event.

Ami, HimawariCo, and Sara all having similar keys might be related:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
And considering it's been established that Ami and Sara have had theirs for years, and Ami claims they are limited edition, they surely are more important than I initially thought.

I also think Ayane might have one, but she just mentioned having an Emergency Key, so who knows:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Probably going to need to pay more attention to things related to keys on my next playthrough. I feel like I'm missing a lot more mentions of stuff like this.
