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

[DeSkel15]

This game is ultimately about the cycle of abuse. We learn very early that Akira is a terrible person, and now we're learning that he's a terrible person because another terrible person traumatized him and he never found a healthy way to process that trauma.

And this has horrifying implications for some of the students, as they're going to be the inheritors of the same trauma that turned him into who he is. Sure, some of the girls he's been very good at letting them control the pace, but Makoto and Miku?
He ignored their boundaries at every step and that shit's gonna haunt them. At least one of them is going to wind up as broken as he is, and with Miku using drugs to cope, that does not bode well for her.

Not to mention that Makoto of all people wants/wanted to become a teacher, and has already forced herself on another to feel better.

 

[DeSkel15]

Stop talking about Chinami dying, such thoughts and statements are illegal! Wrongthink! Verboten!

Chinami is safe and smiling!

Don't worry, she's supposedly getting an ending, so chances are that Chinami and Chinami-Corp have a future even if it's bumpy.

In the Care Packages you can see Miku prolonging the cycle with her PE students in the future. Not sure if should be taken as canon but it's worth a mention.

Selebus has explicitly stated that the care packages are non-canon, which doesn't mean they're not something that could happen, but they aren't relevant to the story of LiL itself, and represent only possible futures.

...that ending could be "Chika makes the painful decision to remove Chinami from life support"

We were never promised happy endings.

 

[barglenarglezous]

I think you're being a little too optimistic, tbh. Chinami has been teased to die since the cough, and her death or disappearance would easily make the Dark Phase, Dark. She is only a side character in the end. A very sickly one at that, that Sensei has grown close too. I can see her being fridged.

Chinami's fate is darker than simply dying.

It's getting sicker and sicker, never truly being able to die. Watching her sister's limited resources stretch thinner and thinner knowing she'll never actually get better, but Chika keeps trying anyway, and Chinami get weaker, more helpless, and can only watch as it slowly kills the light in her sister's soul. And in that moment when it feels that merciful release has finally come, some bitch on a rooftop resets the universe, and she's back to "too dead to live, too alive to die" for the next 3-4 months.

Damn, I thought I was the one who was supposed to spread despair, lmao.

I'm just going to headcanon that you said Princess Chinami gets a castle, a pool of jello, a hundred puppies, and a magical cure all, then god Papa brings Chiaki back for the Chosokabe + Tsukioka + Yumi Harem. Chinami did say she took a Quiz that said she was a Lannister.

I mean, Chiaki has a full character model now, so there's nothing left to stop Sel from introducing a scene where Chika walks in on Akira raw-dogging the mom she thought had died years ago, but had really just walked out on her kids because she couldn't take it anymore.

Bargle should sit on the empty chair on the Happy TV Show. He's got the vibes.

That is both depressing and hott simultaneously. Definitely fits this game.

What evil juju have you been sipping on this evening bro?

 

[DeSkel15]

Now, I'm curious how fucked up the sex scenes will get in this? There was/is some references to Necro shit, but I'm hoping the only kind of blood in future sex scenes will be from a hymen, and all partners will be alive and in one piece.

Akira+Moyo would technically qualify as necro.

At first I thought you were talking about the plant that got fired's empty seat, and I was gonna point out that the theory he was spouting off when he got fired was one of mine.

I mean he kind of fucked the head of Miku, Long Maya's literal roach infested cunt, and AmIOkay Maya nailed to a wall. I wouldn't really put anything past Sensei at this point, especially when he's trippin. Even Moyo seems tame compared to the possibilities.
Yet this melon fucker is too good for Anal? I hope Psycho Ami sodomizes him.

Well, if you got fired from the plant council you know where to apply now. Although I hear Moyo is a little worried, word spreads that you are not too nice to little girls

I will be very disapointed if Chika's dark path doesn't involve Chinami getting sodomized or dying in agony. But at the same time I'll be very sad. This game brings such dichotomy of feelings, I love to see the girls broken and twisted, but hate to see them sad.

Which would be worse for Chika do you think, Yumi or Akira performing the act?

Yumi for sure, such a break of trust, but I can't see her getting a strap-on, and fisting... well Chinami would probably say "Look! Chinami is a puppet now sis".
