I found this sentence very funny for some reason; my brain is broken
View attachment 2786153
I kind of wish I was joking, but with Watermelon slices apparently showing up back during the tutoring days:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
I'm not entirely sure why else Maya would like them so much.

Let alone to the point they paralyze her:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

There's also the.. unique fascination with fucking watermelons that Sensei has:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
and how half eaten watermelons show up under Kumon-mi:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
So, yeah, I'm assuming there's something effed up going on with the Melon Mystery. Or I am just being ridiculously gaslighted by this game.

Only logical conclusion is that Maya is the long lost daughter of Akira and Plant #4, that is why she is so secretive of her origins.

Wild guesses that sometimes touch upon various theories:
1) Watermelons are not a native fruit to Japan, so it could be symbolizing that Maya is not native to this world, or that she's in love from something not from her world.
2) The gifting of fruit, and watermelons in particular, is a cultural thing in Japan. It could be symbolising that Maya herself is a gift (presumably to Akira)
3) In some areas, watermelons symbolize love and fertility, and perhaps this is why Maya jumped to the "Akira got Ayane pregnant" assumption -- because she's pregnant. It would explain her eating habits.
4) It could be a very mundane thing, and Akira just had watermelon on hand during lessons, so they've become a symbol of a happier time in her life.

Maya wearing a melon rind as a helmet makes me think we're meant to assume that the watermelon represents what Maya IS as much as it being a personality trait of hers. And with all the melon-fucking going around...

Reasonable (to me) but still very likely false conclusion: Maya is Young Maya, part of the Maya Trinity with Long Maya (representing motherhood and middle age) and Moyo (representing old age and death). Young Maya represents fertility and youth, and thus the watermelon. In abandoning her post, she has inadvertently fucked the natural order. The loops are a side-effect, potentially, and every time "she resets the world" she's basically choosing to stay, and that the only way to break the cycle is to return to her post and restore the natural order. The half-eaten watermelons are children who never got to be born. Maybe they're Akira's children, unmade by innumerable resets, maybe they're consumed by one of the other Old Gods that Akira seems to have become aware of.

Some of that might be a reach, tho. I am quite prone to the overthink.

God damn. I get that it's not the focus of the game - maybe it's not even possible, maybe Selly's somewhat asexual himself (nothing wrong with that) - but it just hit me how weird it is to see scenes that are actually erotic with the game's assets, even in the custom renders.

Did you juice her assets in KK or is she stock?

Is there a renpy mod out there that can jump to a specific save page. I have 77 pages worth of save files and sometimes I accidentally click the "9" at the bottom of the Load screen instead of the ">", forcing me to click over 60 times to get back to my most recent save.
