do we reeeally want Rin’s first proper h-scene with Akira to be the result of a series of spontaneous text messages?
The better question is: do we reeeally want Rin’s first proper h-scene with Akira to take place when she still has that awful hair color?!?!?! Nuh uh!

Rika is giving Rin some buffered time to perform Major Design Spoiler in preparation for the big event ahead. What a great mom she is!

Ami deletes all of your incriminating photos/texts before giving back your phone. I know the game still lets you access them but, canonically, there is nothing for Rika to find.
Akira restored everything from his pc. The game confirms so a couple of time, but this is one of the most clear evidences:

Edit: Even were that not the case, one of Selebus things is playing with what you can and cannot see - as evidenced by the previous event (which cannot be seen fully at replay). Even though I dislike this approach, I doubt he'd carelessly allow the player to see every cellphone message if Akira didn't have them anymore, without a reason.

Events leading up to 0.49:
  • Wizard Yumi winning the animation poll
  • Confirmation of the Fan Fest
  • 0.49 Being delayed a month because of the Fan Fest
  • The Fan Fest itself
  • 0.49 delayed again because of health appointments
  • The Return of Nodokathon
It's been an interesting couple of months.

As we can see, there is no Futaba events in 0.50 anymore.
3 Noriko events instead of 2.
3 new Ami events
3 new Niki events.
No Miku events anymore.
No Makoto events anymore (which is really strange, I thought this update would be about RAS girls)
No Wakana events anymore.
I was hyped up for Wakana events sensei's talk with Maki. Right now he can talk about his trauma with Sekai without running away or blackout.

His talk with Wakana would be interesting because:
-Wakana knows about his trauma
-Wakana knows about the cause of trauma
-Wakana knows about the connection between Ami and Sekai (i don't remember if she made any comment about Ami's outburst in the classroom)

With all these knowledge her talk with him would be more than just "sorry for you, you are a good person at heart, hope you get better" and more about Sekai, apart from Sensei's memories/delusions.

Soooo... 0.50 would be more about girls from the Akira's past like Maya, Niki, Noriko and Ami. Maya, Ayane and Yumi kinda have connection through RAS, but I think Yumi is more connected with Yuki events rather than RAS thing.

I didn't save the old 0.49 roadmap though. IIRC, there were Ami events and someone's else. But I would like to see what will happen with Rin and Io here... Imagine seeing their event titles pink.
oh damn I didn't see this, more ami events and less wakana and makoto, well shit

Really looking forward to him talking about his relationship with Sekai honestly, you could see Maki was extremely uncomfortable when he started shouting positive things about his abuser, she'll 100% have that racking around in her head for a while.
Also because she's his friend she's going to want to help him through it, which will open a collosal can of worms.

Im so excited for when she finds out about Makoto and Akira, I reckon that event will be brilliant.

I meaaaaaaaaaaaaan even in the latest update you can still talk to Ayane about Maya Prime via the rooftop picture. If you're trying to say the dev wouldn't make a mistake like that my answer is: He 100% would.

In Taint the Sapling you are explicitly told Ami wipes everything and I'd say any inconsistency that arise from that are because the dev got lazy. If you want an in universe explanation: The Uta picture gets resent any time you delete it.

I'm confused by this post.

You can "talk" to Ayane about Maya Prime because it's a conversation that was supposed to be had then. So is every other message, you can review them as it was when the conversation was supposed to have happened - this is by design. You're not talking to Ayane about this now, as neither are you talking to Makoto about her putting a dildo in her mouth right now either. Regardless, this has nothing to do with Ami wiping things or not.

And in Taint the Sapling "you are explicitly told that Ami wipes everything" and that Akira put it all back.

So I don't get the point. As I said, the game states at multiple times that everything has been restored.

Yeah, that is something I'm looking forward to as well; seeing how the other adults fine out about Akira and the order they find out. There will likely be a big difference with reactions in hearing about his relationship with Sekai first over his relationship with the girls.

Although I guess it would just be Maki, Yuki, Rika, Imani, and Wakana. Since Sara, Haruka, Tsubasa and Osako. And judging by that group, the others might not freak out as much as we would think.

Osako kind of learned that he is a predator. (but a sad predator.) While she was kind of suprised she didn't killed him on the spot and had a wholesome talk.
There may be 3 reasons for this:
-At the beginning of the chapter 4 she hears from Wakana that he was abused when he was a kid. This may caused Akira to look like a victim (he is but doesn't justify a thing).
- Osako, like all other characters tend to pulled by Akira. Probably a mechanic of this world to punish Maya, reward Akira or a wish etc. Chapter 1 Rin talks about how it is so easy for Sensei to get people to lke him.

-3rd and last one, and maybe the most important one. She heard all the poems so much she memorised all of them. Remember what Wakana said about them. It is a very dangerous mindset on people.

Why it may be dangerous you say? I think poems are not written by Sekai. But written by pareidolia. At the beginning of chapter 4, we see pareidolia taking full control. Making Akira do what he doesn't wanna do (assaulting Karin), making say what he doesn't wanna say.

It likes to make fun of Akira, and WRITES POEMS


And it wants sensei to impregnate girls so it can sing again.

Poems may be the infection. That may be the reason for wanting to create new hosts who can sing.

At least some more knowledge about Sekai from Wakana would be amazing.

Another question. What happened to Yasu's parents? i know her dad got delusions from her, and her mother is abuser. But where are they now?
Their whereabouts now are unknown; whether they have left or still remained somewhere in the city is not mentioned. Also, I didn't really perceive Ms. Yasui as an "abuser". She was too frustrated, tired, and scared to be a patient model mom, but an actual abusive mom might not quit her job and take her daughter to literally a dozen of clinics, even if she hated every single moment of it.

We never figure anything out about Himawari in-game with high confidence; not her age, not even her her birthday if I remember correctly. This is a weird case in which some seemingly vital information exists only in the game's wiki and not in the game.

As for the age of main cast girls, everyone is somewhere between 15-16, with the exception of Rin who is one year below everyone (so likely 14).

I agree. I'm not justifying her behavior, but caring for a schizophrenic child that doesn't get better with any medication, and whose "predictions" actually come true in form of disasters is too much for anyone. If I recall, her husband left her because of Yasu as well (though I might be remembering that wrongly).

The issue here is of course the paranormal side of things, it's hard to judge her mom as I would a normal person because Yasu was paranormal. Were she just a mental challenged person, the medication would have taken effect much before it got to that level.

Text messages only matter when they're sent. Otherwise we can speak to future Maya and Io via the care packages.

You never delete the photo even if you try. The ciphered text mentions it and punishes you for trying.

That age comes from Selebus when he decided to do ARG like posts as her. It's also as non canon as an out of game experience can be. Don't think about it too hard. There are also some other tentative ages in the care packages, but one could also argue those were added to try get the game banned from here so take them with a pinch of salt too.

I was hyped up for Wakana events sensei's talk with Maki. Right now he can talk about his trauma with Sekai without running away or blackout.

Those events have probably been moved to 0.51 or later, and with the two month wait for 0.50 I'm kinda glad. The updated 0.50 changelog promises to be a banger that somewhat soothes the two month wait.
