I can only cherry pick certain few things to interpret.

First is what would Ami use her gold star. Her answer is bringing the moon back. Moon has been constantly used in the game to insinuate perhaps the gods. But from Ami's perspective, and from how Kaori claimed to use her gold star, I suspect Ami is alluding to wanting Sekai back if such thing is ever tangible. However, putting the moon back will be rewriting history. And such a thing can not be done without consequence of equal or greater value. Aka, the moon will be back and once it's back someone or everyone will be fucked.

Next is girls with deer parts. The whole Kaori's monologue feels like describing her own very unique situation; the scene even goes and shows Kaori's scar with her red eyes (also, her boobs look bigger than anticipated. HOT). The part of Kaori that should not exist, the Sekai within her, faces "constant push" that wishes to remove it (source unknown).

Finally, together we make a nuclear family. Ami might actually be conversing with both her parents next to the camp fire, her highly hypothesized dad and her mom inside of Queen of Spider. And what a nuclear family this is.

The whole thing reeks of Sekai's presence and her unavoidable comeback.
edit: also the latter part of Kaori's dialogue is still convoluted but exceedingly normal in terms of word choices, interesting...

I don't have thoughts on Sensei's story. The story itself is to my liking and I can force creative projections onto some of them especially with the use of whales and the twisted desire for recognition as themes, but I am not sure if this is simply just a good story at the end of the day and doesn't have to have hidden meanings, like Futaba's ghost story.

Also, feel free to check out what Il Cervo is about.
Great interpretations, most of which lines up with what I was thinking but the nuclear family thing is a great pickup. Possible mom, possible Dad? Love it.

I mean, you're not wrong, but American's put the month first, so what looks like Jan 5 to Jan 7 to someone in Europe reads as May 1 to July 1 here.

It's amazing how frequently this gets forgotten on international work teams. Hilarity ensues for everyone but the project manager, who's crying in the corner.
Use ISO8601, dates with dashes should always be yyyy-mm-dd despite the locale

If you never engage with Sara, does that change her proposition at all? Like, does it still happen?
Sara will acknowledge that his heart lies somewhere without bringing up the runaway suggestion, and Ami won't come out being all defensive about the unsaid suggestion. You can check it in replay yourself as all flags are defaulted to False.

That's good to know, cause I thought it was super weird when i reviewed their conversation at camp and Ami's like: "yeah, i hope that now that you're seeing me as your possible legit daughter, that will be the push to finally bone me" :ROFLMAO:

And I was like "how the hell did i get into good uncle route".

I guess I have some testing to do regarding what classifies as without flag in replays, and is there a way to see the scenes with active flags again other than reloading a save?

I gotta admit, yes I do. Kaori is just such a big nothingburger (pun intended) most of the time and my brain just ends up being fried. I try not to skip too much in case I miss something big but I just don't like reading all that mumbo jumbo. She literally feels like a filler episode to me, all the time it's the same trope of weird girl saying a lot of nonsense and nothing ever changes.
Literally what character development does she have?

She is a random weird girl that likes fastfood and is Yumi and Yuki's relative. She can most likely teleport to places. She has a cock. She might be a supernatural being or a product of a supernatural incident. She is somehow tied to Nao.

^ This is her entire persona and we probably already spent 100 hours in the game with her in it.
I understand where you're coming from as I from time to time share a similar irritation with Kaori. Perhaps it's because Selly's plan with her is just a lot different from the rest of the cast.

She isn't a side character to a main character like all the milfs, and she isn't a side character to a side character like Osako (I don't count her blood tie to the Yamaguchi just like you as this bond isn't really utilized in a meaningful way). Kaori has been a standalone eye candy, walking enigma, or a segue to other enigmas from the beginning, so it'd probably be a guaranteed disappointment if you seek any character development on an internal or interpersonal level from Kaori.

The problem lies in the fact that we're not really close to solve all of her while Selly keeps making her spew out even more enigmas. And this is something I think Selly needs to put more efforts into thinking "where and how does Kaori fit" if he doesn't want Kaori to be just a kiosk outside of the mundane realm solely for providing cryptic information. Maybe forcing her appearance during beach wars and April fool wars is Selly's attempt of involving her with the story, but he will have to do more than that (but if he doesn't it's fine; just another day of misaligned headcanons).

This game's progression is confusing. Any helpful tips? I'm new here
Use the guide mod, grind affection and lust points (if you prefer to cheat, use the URM and not the in-game cheats) and expect to miss some events on your first playthrough.

They're actually not always doing that, they call him by his real name too, but he blocks it out and thuoght they were calling him sensei instead.

This was confirmed by noriko in an later event where he asked her if she ever called him by his real name and she said yes, lots of times too.
That's not quite how it happens.

Whenever they use his real name

If the text says Sensei, it means they actually say Sensei.

Speaking of Ami and ‘burning bridges’ from earlier posts I’ve read, after that display in the classroom where she threatened everyone and her attitude towards Ayane and Maya while Akira was bedridden, how might her friendships be affected from now on? Especially now that Ami now has begun to make a ‘fresh start’ along with Akira as Father and Daughter in the latest update.

Will Ami continue to hang out with the Ayane and Maya? Or might she branch out and find a new clique to get to know? I don’t necessarily think Ayane would give up on Ami, but things haven’t been easy lately either. We also had a recent scene with New Maya and Ami, and they seemed to be on decent enough terms, but even so… the mind wanders.

I think if Ami is gonna have any new friends at all, Noriko or Futaba might be good choices. Noriko because she’s already empathetic and nice to everyone else, and plus she’s Niki’s sister, whom Ami has begun growing a recent attachment to already. It would certainly make things awkward with Maya, though, for obvious reasons. Noriko would be a friend making machine, though, since she’s already growing more friendly with Yumi lol.

And Futaba, well, because they were already on good terms previously in the Manga Club, plus her falling out with Nodoka had no doubt left some kind of best friend void. It has potential.

I dunno, though. Just spitballing. It’s very possible her friend group may not change at all.
