I'm doing a replay right now and the way Sensei treats Chika is just reprehensible. He strings the poor girl along, making her think she's special and the only girl he cares about... This is obvious to write with hindsight, but I think with how long (as in real-time) he and Chika have been "together", we lose the perspective.

She is acting batshit in the recent updates but when you think about everything he's done, it's a very understandable reaction/mental breakdown she has.

NB: I am aware he is a shitty person to nearly everyone he meets, but still.

I am not sure how valid leads regarding these dark figures are going to be. I always treat them as a non-factor unless they are acknowledged in the textbox or they have some additional elements added to them (like Tsuneyo's friend, the one with the purple hat) to showcase that their presences there are deliberate and intentional on the story level. As in, imo these dark figures mean nothing until it's proven otherwise simply because so far there are so many of them just standing in the background being literally indistinguishable from one another and are rarely relevant to any story development.

"But, Rin, you can just fuck my boyfriend!" I'm calling it right now.

Especially from replaying chapter 4 right now, Rin has been struggling with why not go after Akira, and that was a major point in the last update. From what has already been previewed from her events, Rin is going to talk to Chika about it - and one of two is true, either Chika will hook up with her (which I'm rooting for you, Rin), or she'll encourage Rin to hook up with Akira (more likely).

Rin has no pants on in this image and going off the last time she was alone in a room with a girl with no pants, she got fingered. Therefore i deduce that Chika is going down on Rin this update.

I was thinking of skipping Prisoner if I ever did a rerun but man, seeing Ayane smack Kirin down like that was satisfying. Probably not worth all the shit Ayane had to deal with though.

I love that Osako is trying to reinvent herself, aka get herself ready to date other people, and Wakana is just like "yeah, entropy rules all, and I guess my relationship is bound to die before me, who knew?"

Then we have Imani saying hi to Osako's future hookup (has this character been introduced before?), and Akira is talking to USER4 or something, nothing new there.

Edit: Also, minor note about Rin, I hardly ever feel this way about anyone, but Rin is the exception where she could hook up with anyone and I'd be rooting for her regardless. What a funny feeling.

Simply because I noticed it, surely others would have noticed it? The fact it ascended into a ingame joke in chapter 2 felt like it would have been in response to people bringing it up.

It cut off my attempt to bring it up as major lore if I had reached chapter 4 without anyone noticing it.

I think I vaguely remember a joke like that in the game. Its the after school standing on the street audio right? It was probably just a Selebus inside joke for the few people that notice it. There is definitely more than a few little self referential jokes like that in the game so I might be thinking of a different one as I cant really remember any specific instances off the top of my head.

In Sana's Anywhere at All event in chapter 1 she asks Akira where he would go if he could go anywhere and he blacks out and slips. The event has cockroach and Sana speaks about Wires so it seems Wire-ish. But Yasu appears and asks Akira to go to Hope. And someone speaks in capital letters. Who is this? It's not starting with // so it's not wire. If it's Hope, why get Yasu to give Akira a msg?

Also his stomach hurts in the event. Is this a reference?

This girl briefly replaces Sana in the flashback.The face is blurred. Is it Maya?

What is happening to me? I think I get Otoha (????)

The following is a long analysis of an event that made me hate Otoha less, and even like Otoha more (?). Anyway, I don't mean to convince anyone, but I think I have a new perspective on her, that makes me even a bit sympathetic towards her character. Thought I'd share it is all.

Who knew I'd be writing such a post, right? The wonders of a replay. Well, maybe it's not impossible for Otoha to be redeemed. That's my takeaway.
