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

[Moonflare]

Holy shit, this has to mean that Ayane is trying to add Sana, Yumi, Noriko to the Rooftop Apocalypse Squad, right? But why no Tsuneyo?

Probably, since Makoto's on the background with Akira. Ayane has two events, so it could be that she's recruiting them in that picture and the meeting takes place later?

Tsuneyo might be included in the actual meeting instead of the beach recruitment idk. I wonder how she managed to pinpoint those three however. I'm also very curious if Noriko is going to reveal what she knows about Maya Prime to them (or if she even remembers).

On a super minor note, depending on how much Chika's heart gets broken and if she chooses to break up, that might be one of the requirements for the Yumi romance. Whatever happens, I'm just so happy that it's finally happening.

And that's not even getting into the potentially crackpot theory that Kaori isn't (by default) possessed by Sekai, but more like her 'spirit' or energy (not her soul, at least not more than a piece of it,) because she (probably) received her organs in a transplant — And Kaori is either possessed by a lingering piece of her soul or her evil aura juices or something. Similar to the Shirikodama which a lot of people know about (thanks, Elden Ring.) In which case it's Sekai vs Sekai's spirit(?)

Interesting. I myself is a firm disbeliever of multiple Sekais theory as I personally can't find combinations of scenes that absolutely require multiple different Sekai ghosts to form a tightly written narrative. However, ghost Sekai that was "brought back by Akira's deep desire" and the Sekai that "physiologically infested inside Kaori" have technically different yet both valid origins (or as valid as this world allows it).

In other words, on one hand ghost Sekai and Sekaori can still be viewed as two sides of the same coin; it can be explained as ghost Sekai being able to influence only Akira and Kaori to a paranormal level due to the bonds shared, one mental and one physiological. On the other hand, ghost Sekai and Sekaori did kinda come from different sources (the spirit vs body theme you alluded to). Despite still not feeling the necessity for them to be different, I suppose this part can potentially make me yield to multiple Sekais theory because as least the train of thoughts on the difference of how ghost Sekai and Sekaori came to be seems logical enough.

Wait, is it time for reset soon? It's been a while since the last reset.

As this chapter looks like it will last until the end of next year, I believe that if we are going to have a reset it will be in 0.44:

The Sekai situation is very complicated. There is some evidence that Sekai was the one that had her hands on Akira's shoulders, and that is present throughout most of the game in various events. There are also multiple characters and narrators that say that Akira has the weight of the world (Sekai) on his shoulders. Then AmIOkay even calls Akira Sekai. The same "Huh?" that Yasu says to Sekai in "Shelter", that fdsasdf_p pointed out, can be seen on an early Sana event, where Yasu says that there is someone with Akira that he can't see, and looks to his side and says "Huh?". Yasu also says in "frankincense" that she can reveal the voice of the one that follows him, and if that is also Sekai (high likehood) then she's even more present. So, basically, Sekai can be the most present character in the story, we just couldn't see her/currently still lack confirmation it was her.

If everything I said turns out to be true, then it also adds complications for the "Sekai wars" (multiple sekais theory), since it would point out to many Sekais existing as of Chapter 4. If white dress Sekai can only haunt Akira and Ami, then how come a Sekai left them during that one cemetery scene saying she had stuff to do? If Sekai is the one following Akira, then how come he runs to Kaori for help against it and is helped by another Sekai inside of her? As always:

Do you see the smiles on Ami and Niki's faces? Cause I see no smile here.

Guess it would be too much to ask for Sekai to be happy for Ami.

It has been predicted that a cross has 4 sides, not three - and that something of absolute power is coming that will consume everything else.

Yay Maya Prime! Ha, I doubt it but who knows!

Holy shit, do you know what would be interesting in this event? Cause Tsuneyo experienced for herself how it was to have your body taken out of your control. And Akira said the same thing to her on the beach, when he said that he was a victim in the Molly event as well but had no one to speak to about it. Just now, they're on the same place and this time Tsuneyo knows it wasn't bullshit.

Damn, could it be that this is where Tsuneyo's romance will finally begin?? Cause even with Lavender's Green she has gotten close enough to recognize him as a husband. If it was confirmed to her that the whole thing was indeed out of his control (it sort of was with "this isn't me") then they might grow even closer!

It would be totally awesome for Tsuneyo to realize this and knowingly have that in common with Akira.

IT IS CHIKA!
HOLY SHIT IT'S HAPPENING, has the day finally arrived? Did she find out?

I so want her to find out, but I also want her to stay with him. Despite all the frustrations with her, she is still one of my favs and I want more events with them together.

Probably, since Makoto's on the background with Akira. Ayane has two events, so it could be that she's recruiting them in that picture and the meeting takes place later?

Tsuneyo might be included in the actual meeting instead of the beach recruitment idk. I wonder how she managed to pinpoint those three however. I'm also very curious if Noriko is going to reveal what she knows about Maya Prime to them (or if she even remembers).

I feel this is just from another non important beach event, I don't want to get my hopes up. Wouldn't it be funny if several girls show up to the next reset ha!

Wait, is it time for reset soon? It's been a while since the last reset.

I still say we only get one this season. It could happen on Halloween again but since this is supposed to be the longest chapter, I suspect it will be sometime next year. One reset, User 4 takes over. Or, what's the chances we get a cycle of 1, 2, 3 and then 4 is the dark route. If Maya is user 4, and starts the dark route, then holy shit. Probably crazy theory zone.

I see what you're doing here Selebus. Is it time for Yasu's baptism?

Honestly?Maybe.I still have yet to see Akira "taking something that doesnt belong to him" and hope is getting rather impatient.So idk.

 

[Comiies]

Huh, she changed her hair. I guess we haven't seen Tsuneyo after "this isn't me", right? So this event will probably have some info regarding Wires?

Spoiler: tsuneyo's previous hair

>The start of Tsuneyos romance
Nah but why does it fit so much?Realistically though its 1 or 2 things that will happen.Either,as you said this is the beginning of tsuneyo romance(Who has quickly become my top 3 girl).She will finally understand that what we said to her about the Molly situation wasnt just the empty excuses of a cowardly predator and she will start both sympathizing with us AND maybe start trying to learn the truth.

OR

This is a continuation of her fight with Molly.You remember right?Where Tsuneyo tried to protect Molly by completely shitting on us and then she had a small fight with Tsuneyo?Iirc they figured it out at the end but that fight happened before the whole 2 month coma thing so now Mollys love for him may have increased,leading to her wanting to spend more time with the guy that literally almost raped her(Tsuneyos interpetation not mine).

So yea while im putting all my chips on the romance path ill be satisfied with both(Fucking cope i nee d tsuneyo romance)

I find it funny that even though this scene first entered my mind as a child, all these years later it is still the mental reaction i have to seeing a nice pair of legs. There's nothing more to the thought, i'm an ass man but legs can be nice as a sort of ambient scenery, so when i see them there's just this purely animal response, it's completely unintelligent, it's barely even a thought, more of an instinctual awareness response, 'leg'.

Legs are my thing, especially when the gal is in a nice dress and wearing heels. Its pretty much the first thing I look at and I feel I am weird that I prefer to check out hot actresses and models over porn.

Damn every time I drink I overshare.

Brother, i openly discussed my sexual arousal to the idea of eating Maya's ass melons the other day... i think i set a standard so low you needn't ever worry you're oversharing.

ghost Sekai that was "brought back by Akira's deep desire" and the Sekai that "physiologically infested inside Kaori" have technically different yet both valid origins (or as valid as this world allows it).

In other words, on one hand ghost Sekai and Sekaori can still be viewed as two sides of the same coin;

I didn't do a very good job at explaining it, but that pretty much hits the nail on the head. The idea is basically that a piece of the soul, spirit or energy is transfered to the person who receives the organs. I prefer spirit over soul in this case, but words are vague. Anyway this 'dark soul(s 2)' isn't conscious, or mostly isn't conscious, as it's not actually Sekai's soul/consciousness, but a fragment of her. Most likely Just a memory or image of her rather than an actual person.
I'm not a fan of this series, but you could easily liken it to Harry Potter as well. Split off a piece of your soul, it resides in a host, might be able to corrupt or control them to some degree(?) (Sekai = Voldemort? Gonna have to photoshoo that, later...)

There are some problems with this theory, mainly that it's not really distinct or provably different from Sekai actually controlling her in most cases. I think any overt possessions are just Sekai jumping in. Though I do like it, as it gives a way for Sekai's energy/spirit to be "inside Kaori" without Sekai to have to be literally possessing her 24/7, and might explain why and how Sekai can possess Kaori so easily, as she already has a "gateway" into her.

Guess it would be too much to ask for Sekai to be happy for Ami.

Sekai is very mentally unwell. She's at least possessive and likely obsessive, at least post-death. There's also the whole diddling a prepubescent and "falling in love" thing. Which is just fucking gross on top of mentally weird. As Moonflare said (I believe) she's basically here just to fuck with Akira and stay with Ami because she can't let go and to meet whatever sinister ends she has.
Also on a very slightly related note to above, we don't know if Sekai (or all Sekais...) are exactly like her, just passed on now, or if she's been heavily corrupted, or is some kind of evil manifestation of Sekai or something. Most people that die seemingly don't become phantoms that haunt and possess the living. She really is a perplexing, ultra-dead bitch.

Coincidentally, I just made it to the beginning of the 0.40 content on my second playthrough just last night, so you're in luck.

I dunno it still feels like we're in the early to middle stages of the chapter. And Sel said Chapter 4 is going to be the longest chapter so it's a possibility that it may continue into 2025.
