I wasn’t trying to say it was literally a dream, but merely that what constitutes physical and metaphysical should be considered. And personally, I do t feel the need for cope with Chika; it didn’t really upset me because I don’t care for her character much recently. I’m not entirely convinced they are slipping like Sensei slips, either.

As for the end of the scene, we see her back looking older, but we see Chinami looking…different too. Is it literal? I’m not so sure, and I don’t think our good bud wires is gonna be able to fix that shit if it is real. Unless our Chika is now in a different reality after those events, where she’s been gangbanged and Chinami is a manakin lol. Who knows?. The drip feed of explanation in this game is minuscule, man.

Whatever the case, we don’t have answers yet. And as for who’s next, I could have sworn someone posted a preview showing Yumi?

That could be in me remembering wrong, though.

Why it's implied that she would need to become a whore to protect her and what this would allude to or supposed to lead her to - no idea right now.
I guess something like become hypersexual (holy shit, hypercube???) so the predator gets tired not of you but with you and doesn't touch Chinami. Either that, or maybe the gods are trying to cultivate vessels and Sensei stealing what isn't his from them disqualifies them from that.

I think that was my fake screenshot when alluding to Sel monkeypawing Yumi events.

Going along this the thing about Chika, we also see Chinami in the event. Does that me she was also subject to 19 years of that? I don’t think so, because that wasn’t our Chinami, in my opinion, as she acted nothing like the one we know. It seems to me the entire thing is more metaphysical than materially physical, like a dream that feels like years pass, but in reality only a few minutes actually pass.
My interpretation of that is that IF the take of Chika being forced to whore herself for 19 years is true, then what is presented by the end of her TSS is “what her TSS made her feel like from her perspective”. I’d like to think that in her head she’s aged quite considerably, mentally fractured also quite considerably, and maybe no longer be able to properly register Chinami as her dear little sister, but as merely the root cause of her suffering. This is taking advantage of the fact that Chika doesn’t and shouldn’t be aging a single bit after her TSS, so everything in the last scene is figurative and not literal, and it’s all in Chika’s head.

At this point, I don’t think we’ve see any scenes where the consequences of the TSS events have been discussed or really addressed, right? I suppose we’ll have to wait until it’s really talked about in a meaningful scene to understand more about the implications on the actual characters themselves, and how they view what happened (assuming they remember it correctly).
Same. Forget about why TSSs happened or what each of every TSS was about. The lack of “TSS propagation” into other events is making deducing TSSs or trying to find a meaningful correlation between each of them very difficult.

So yes I agree; before a future event can address them substantially, TSS kinda just feels like girls now are also experiencing their own happy events. Such a thing might no longer be an exclusive benefit to Sensei anymore, but how or why or what that means or whether this take is correct or not even is completely in the air.

Gonna link some posts talking about this.

A transcription of the reversed audio files.
I went into the files for 0.47's THE CUBE

I reversed them, confirmed they didn't match the text Chika was responding to. and then I took a stab at transcribing them.
I think they're accurate except cube3.mp3, and that one is purely because the sentence is especially awkward. I looped the sentence in reverse order word by word and that got me to what I wrote down.
cube9.mp3 and cube10.mp3 are also just surprising lines to me. Could use a second person's sanity check.

I also transcribed spiiideeer.wav but I'm not uploading that due to file size and it not being reversed in the game files. and I have uploaded it on its own two posts ahead.

Nao I need peer review.

The hex you posted (no idea how this translation was achieved (EDIT: mf how did I not notice this, the audio is reversed, so the text is too)).
Yes, shmurfer did a stellar job of it.

Couple this with the translation for the hex from Chika 3:

And an alternate transcription of the reversed audio files, along with the poem from the Nodoka events.
I was also going to post the cube audio but that was already done. The only thing I have to say about it is the text in the images could be read as a translation/subtitle for the reversed voice audio. But I guess you can also read it as additional and not just a somewhat leading translation of the cube.

And i also transcribed the perfect face boy text in the image at the start of "Perfect Hair Forever"

Here's a question then: are Happy Events, slips? Or maybe some of them are, and some aren't? And how do the girl's experiences fit in?

What I'm trying to say is, FUCK man, this game doesn't give up its secrets easily, and I'm a dumbass that can't figure shit out. Sorry for the lore rant; maybe somebody can answer some of those questions with text from the game, but I gotta say, its dense.

That's the thing about the game. You can't figure out mysteries without most of the pieces and he just hasn't given us everything yet, so you shouldn't beat yourself up when you can't.

We're going to keep getting pieces of info that seem disconnected until a new piece gives us the context that we need to link them all together.

Is it a mere "flashback" to the reset puzzle? I don't think he usually gets those at all. Or is it a genuine flash forward and Akira actually does suffer a mental breakdown to the point that he is vegetating in his apartment
I think Times New Roman was a flash forward, and the little moment during Sana's sex was him recalling the calm he felt during that whole event.

I think Times New Roman might be what happens to Akira who doesn't get over losing Maya (and yet wouldn't forget her either so Ami eventually loses). There is a comment about Sel saying staying in the house is one of the first endings of the game so it's more than 'just a reset puzzle'

I've got very similar vibes from that event.
Which is also why i wrote what i wrote about it recently.

There's a couple of things that point that way.
The strongest though i guess for me, was it's BGM while revisiting it recently.
Sel has a way with choosing the right music for events most of the time. (I omit the canadian band).

The event/song feels like Akira is in a state where his mind is still fucked up a bit, but he came to terms.
Everything/Everyone moved forward but him.
Like he gave up and took what he could, which seems to be Sana(Ami?).

It's how i wonder if from there, he will make a last afford to turn things, though in very a calm manner.
