Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.49.0] [Selebus]

[butterfly boy]

Any one have the hexadecimal translation yet... was to lazy to bother thinking someone else would do it.

Also who do you think wants to be let out from the random fast letters clip?
Nozumu?

Not really sure what to make of the abomination mix of the new character that has both Maya and Amis eyes. Who is dark skin tone and a certain style of hair.... there are only so many dark skin toned people in the game and the hair reminds me of yumi pretty hard...
Some sort of abysmal creature born from the maya/tsuneyo/yumi sleep over that the not ami creature crashed

Tons of people posted the translation above, I'll just post it here again.
Also I didn't realize the resemblance to Yumi/Tsuneyo until you mentioned it. Holy shit. Maybe there's no ayane because she already has daisy?

Just a theory, but Nao-chan might be some sort of prototype perfect child for Sensei. I hope she's not meant to be the perfect wife or lover or something. Then again, who knows with Sensei's... tastes.

I definitely think she's some kind of amalgam of Tsuneyo, Yumi, Ami, and Maya though. Just the traits that stand out the most to Sensei. The parts he loves the most perhaps. Or maybe the parts Nao-chan's creator thinks he'd like the most.

Thanks wasn't really looking for a text file when I was scrolling through posts, no wonder I missed it. but that makes sense now. Sorry

 

[KnowNoHope]

Rin and Sana have, optionally.
Yumi and Kaori without consent. (Albeit Sana's wasn't consensual either)
Noriko did at the fire. Niki did at the hotel and probably in the past. Chika was optional, but I think they've kissed afterwards. Miku did after the bear. Ami if you are a "Bad Uncle", plus even if you aren't since she's probably done it in his sleep. Makoto at the rooftop recently.

I think a few others, but I can't seem to recall when. Sekai and Maya have in the past. At least It's been implied Maya and Sensei have. Also probably Nao technically I guess.

I'm probably wrong on this but didn't Maya kiss him in the event when sensei thought she was a bird

No, but she tried to have sex with him. Couldn't get him hard though.

Kissing him at all would break him, or at least that's what she believes, so if she did kiss him and he's still here, she probably wouldn't still believe that.

Look at her pen name. It is S.A.
It was also heavy implied a woman comes to her in her dreams and when she is having a manic episode when writing.
I'm taking a wild guess that she didn't actually write those books...
But a certain red haired ghost with the initials SA used nodoka as a (lol) ghost writer.
Her monolog on the train also came off very.. possessed vibes

Killing wasn't confirmed just that she basically tortured butchered and poisoned people which if you are sadistic enough... the victim can survive. Multiple sessions even.

Ami in clown make up: you want to know how I gave Chika these scars

Edit:Maya is a cold bitch knowing all this about ami and then screaming about Ayanes maybe pregnancy outside Amis window... she totally wanted ami to do shit to her.
I wonder how long it's going to take Ayane to realize this

Most of the class seem to know of Haruka (Molly's DnD and Manga club stuff has been at her cafe, and a few of the girls are insecure about her breasts which I wouldn't doubt gets around), her husband being gone is a given, given the space war, and Sensei is, well, Sensei, so it's likely more of an educated guess, overall.

Not sure if it's mentioned or not if you've declined Haruka in that timeline, though. If it's still mentioned, and he hasn't actually done it, then it's probably just for flavor.

Could be wrong, but one thing everyone that's noticed the reset has had in common is that they care about Sensei's mental health. Ayane tested him to find out what he remembers, Maya is Maya, Makoto is trying to be there for him through Ami, etc.

Tsuneyo has been dealing with Sensei blacking out on Molly, and trying to understand him. Yumi is Yumi, but she worries about his blackouts to a degree.

This does make me want to see Sensei at least try to get Niki and Noriko sentient. Maybe even Touka since she seems to care a bit. Not sure if he's actually tried yet, albeit I could just be forgetting.

In retrospect, I think he actually mentioned the loops to Niki once and instead of changing the subject, she just thought he was on drugs.. which might mean she can be sentient if he pushed harder. I think similar also happened to Noriko, but she didn't understand it and he just changed the subject instead of doubling down. Usually people either ignore or change the subject, but not the Nakayama's from what I recall.

That sounds plausible but I'm gonna stick to KnowNoHope's theory because it's more fun and probably what sel intended. Plus "Everyday I Grow Some More" and "The Light Of Last Summer" are both event names. Nagahara might be a combination of Nodoka and Rin's last name or maybe means something in japanese.

The other theory I had besides ami killing people to get there... was that emotion love was involved. Not crushing or admiration or infatuation or lust. But when a girl fully falls in love with him, all of him, even the bad shit. The kind of love that's often really beautiful but also really toxic. But I hated this theory cause it was too mushy and didn't have enough girls getting stabbed by yandere nieces

I mean, there's no reason both can't be plausible. It's not like Sekai being involved, and Nodoka guessing likes she's claimed to be doing, can't both be happening simultaneously. But believe whatever you wish, as will I.

I'm more curious on who "Yuko" is, tbh. I feel like figuring out the house stuff is a way off.

Btw, the hexadecimal on that board in that event with Kirin and Noriko seems to be referenced in that first part of Nodoka's event you showed.

 

[ElukiaTV]

So....did anyone else's heart fall into their stomach again when Makoto asked Akira to close his eyes again?

That whole event was a damn fucking PTSD inducing event...

So, like unconditional love for Sensei let's you notice the resets?

I don't think that theory holds up with Tsuneyo, since I doubt she's fallen for Sensei, and she's threatened to kill him. Then again, she is quite an outlier.

It could fit the rest though, even Yumi considering she's more or less accepted he forced herself on her, and still seems to care about him.

 

[ElukiaTV]

Also a couple minor things that we arent talking about.
Sensei was very (not fully) honest with Touka, man surely got into the "opening up". Also damn lmao at Tsubasa just asking Touka if she wants to fuck sensei, that was a damn good laugh.
Nodoka blatanly talked about how Sensei fucks underaged girls in front of Rin and Otoha, there was no "normal" way for her to know they would be aware ot if, so that reinforces what others have previously said about Sekai being the one that writes the books for Nodoka. She knows because Sekai knows. and its somehow imprinted on her memory.
Makoto fucked up twice. One knowingly, when she said in public (i think it was Kaori?) "Why do they get help while all i get from you is unnasked touching?" or something similar. Like.. girl, okay that the world resets, but damn.. dont just throw sensei in jail like that.
And the second time is when she writes Ami about it.. triggering murder Ami. BOI.
wonder who else she has messaged about it.

notice them?
i meant survive them, to get to the roof itself and not vanish
just noticing the reset could be a lot of things, they are just aware, they moved a little bit closer to loving him but not actually loving him yet, learning to accept a dark awful part of sensei and choosing to keep interacting with him and not hating him for it. (which both yumi and tsuneyo did and what makoto is currently doing) all of these are steps to this form of 'love' in all its toxicity and beauty
edit:
i still dont like this one... not enough stabbing damn it, will admit my problem with it is more a personal issue than a flaw in it
and the horrible twisted reason why sensei isn't reset and makes it to the roof is .... he fully accepted and loves the worst parts of himself and when that level of narcissistic love gets shattered, he resets, he is regularly called a narcissist too and this explains why some sensei's made it through a few resets according to maya
considering the name of the game too
it fits disturbingly well...
edit:
added a bit to this and cleaned it up some

i take it I was the only person then rubbing my hand going 'oh boy, here comes a possible gut punch '

 

[ReallyBadAtNames]

Could the trigger for noticing the resets just be death in general?

Maya and Ayane's deaths seem pretty obvious how they would occur in this update. Makoto I believe implied she tried to kill herself after her father's death, not to mention bluejay (although that was a couple resets ago). Even Sensei/Akira himself, the very first thing you do the in game is "Jump" implying suicide. Tsuneyo may be killing herself everytime she finds her dead father near the end of resets. Could explain why she seems to be subconsciously aware of the loops if she's dying (nearly?) every time. Yumi is the biggest flaw in that theory though, but it's not impossible she did it after the Nodoka event. Or pushing to extreme speculation maybe she would have after Akira's speech that caused that time leap.
