History yet again repeats itself. While scrolling through itch.io I come across yet another homo-erotic visual novel with a main character to that looks similar to Sensei. But this time it looks like Sensei and Sana had a femboy son.

Nice try, this is clearly a preview for a happy scene with Shota from a different timeline where he survived and got butt implants in Brazil the other half of the town.

Also, thank god Sel didn't decide to animate Sana's hidden eye like this, it looks absolutely asinine. I also wanted to use a big boy word for once.

No way a guy should have a butt like that.

Hello fellow buddies long time no see. Studies caught me for a long while and I'm still struggling with catch up with latest update (Truly impossible:>).

Anyway now a tricky question has emerged: In Where the Trees Live of Kaori's event we saw a reflection of past in the woods. But then of whom?
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

My first guess was that it's reflection of Yumi and Kaori before the Accident which fits with the theme here, with Yumi on the left and Kaori on the right, each with shorter haircut compare to current one. And Kaori is eldre than Yumi
But the flutterflies circling and the attire of rightmost character gave out such strong vibe of Sekai herself and the character on the left has a black-yellow right eye that corresponds to that of Kaori while Yumi has greyer iris.
And somehow the red-black clothes the left one wearing reminds me of uniform of Touka and Tsukas? It might just be a hunch but does Tsukioka family have deeper connection to Sekai?

And let me add one thing, In event The End of the Tour (Glasswalker) of Niki we had almost same scene. This time obviously between Niki and Akira.

(which is unsurprising at all, LiL uses tons of similar composition and intertextuality to draw fatal parallels between things)

And the question Kaori asked "What did you want to be when you were little" is another thing frequently asked and answer by some interesting figures:

Anyone willing to answer that with a coherent theory?

It's an interesting theory but I'm inclined to say that the two characters are indeed supposed to reflect young Yumi and teen (pre-accident) Kaori.
First of all, because it just makes sense. And also it's the only sensible connection age-wise.

I don't see Sekai fitting in there with either Kaori (they would be further apart in age) or someone like Tsubasa (I'm not sure if it was ever established how old she is supposed to be).

Yumi's eye color irritates me a little, as it's clearly yellowish in that scene, so almost like it would have to be Kaori's right eye, but I don't see this being some kind of trick and it's her as a kid with an only marginally older Sekai. Especially since Sekai always had natural red hair. Unless they're both Kaori, just one somehow from a different timeline? I doubt it though.

The dress has been shown to have been worn by Kaori before though, I'm pretty sure.
And the butterflies are definitely a sign for Sekai, but it could be anything from showing that she is involved somehow, to Akira associating youth with his lover and abuser, to it being just a red herring.

As to the phrase, you'd have to ask the lore masters.
I could imagine that being tied to one of the popular theories of Maya not being real or something and her being created by a depressed Akira who felt alone. Or just Sekai being a clingy ghost hunting him.

Also, welcome back!

Those are the older and wizard versions of Kaori in "Where the Trees Lives".

I don't understand what I'm looking at. Akira's twins' male half (born from either Sekai or Ami given the eyes) fucking past Ayane but in the future? :ROFLMAO: So the first NTR was from Ami with Maya, and now the second is from Ami's son with Ayane? lol

Okay, nonsense apart, at least his son has a somewhat normal face, I found that Akira always looked a bit off if compared to the girls, but the twins look the same "realism" wise to me.

In "The End of the Tour" Sekai imagery is used to illustrate that by recovering his good memories with Niki, Akira is inevitably also going bring back bad memories with Sekai. The repeat of the imagery in "Where the Trees Live" is used to show that Sekai is again returning in some form, this time as SeKaori. So I don't think "Where the Trees Live" is showing any real memory, it's just symbolic, hence why (as Dc345 said) it's two different versions of Kaori.

Although I don't think it's related to this event, there is indeed a very strong connection between the Tsukiokas and Sekai. Most obviously through their sakura tree:

On Sensei's date with Touka, he saw her as Sekai while she was imitating a pose used by Tsubasa.

And in her most recent event, Tsubasa deliberately imitated Sekai to get a reaction out of Sensei.

As for "What did you want to be when you were little", it seems to be a Pareidolia/Sekai thing (I don't think it's worth trying to distinguish the two), who often get nostalgic for the better days of Akira's youth. I guess AmIOkay says it because she's a mishmash of Sekai, Maya, and maybe Ami in those early happy events. Edit: since you didn't include it in your post, I'll add that a very similar sentiment is expressed in Chapter 2 main event "Metal in Microwaves" by the narrator, who is probably Pareidolia since they indicate that they're in the back of Sensei's mind and this happens right after he rapes Molly.

Wow, that male character actually looks decent, although I kinda miss Akira's eyes. Also which gallery are you talking about?

Here's a file right at the end of chapter 2 *pre-wither event chain* that launches you into chapter 3. All you need to do to go to c3 is call Kaori then skip through all the events.
