I think Tsubasa might not be completely aware about HOPE. She might hear "whispers" but she isn't talked directly to, like Yasu. (maybe she is but unlikely)

It's safe to assume that the tree belongs to HOPE, in which case it would make sense if this tree had the powers required to pinpoint Akira at any moment.

I think that what happened is that Tsubasa realized at some point, that she can use this tree to connect mentally to Akira and began to speak through his mind, "narrating" the events that she sees through his eyes. She isn't the story's narrator, she just seems like one because she it talking through his mind.

This would explain why Touka suddenly appeared in his school and in his classroom, she found this interesting being, a broken man, who happened to be a teacher which she has been looking for a long time. That's how she found Akira and that's how she knows virtually everything about him.

Every god deity has a means to be able to pop into Akira's mind at any moment, it would make sense if the way they can achieve this is through objects, like the Tsukioka Tree, which opens another can of worms > maybe GODS deities aren't real, they are just humans pretending to be and using "TERMINALS" and "OBJECTS" to fake omnipotency. Akira doesn't believe in "GOD" after all, and Tsubasa is just a normal woman who can wield a form of telepathic omnipresence just with the help of an object


EDIT: Tsubasa could also be HOPE herself, or HOPE's wife, which is very far-fecthed but I have my reasons to believe this

If WIRES is Tsuneyo's daddy, then he too is a human, using these omnipotent objects to reach Akira telepathically and to remain barely alive

Can anyone tell me if the choices from Chika's event "Our Time Atop This Mattress" is resolved yet?
I stopped playing at that Event so I can watch all choices without having to replay a huge chunk of the game, but none of Chika's events in the wiki mention the choice's results.

The "correct choice" is Ayane, you get to see a threesome in the current build. Selebus has said that there will a path that sees every event, so no other choice will result in a unique event (I wouldn't be surprised if a Rin threesome, for example, happens at some point whether you chose it or not.).

I doubt it, since Ami was likely in the wreck as she watched her parents die, and the Sekai who has shown up doesn't seem suicidal:

As Moonflare notes, Sensei is likely just being irrational, and Sekai surely loved Ami. She didn't seem to have a reason to kill herself, and her life was seemingly going rather well, tbh.

Also, I somewhat think Sensei caused the Accident, but more info is needed.
Click to expand...
This is a valid argument, but, as you said, Sensei blames himself for the Accident; and Sekai, who is (at least according to Maya) a product of his imagination only repeats what Sensei thinks. There is still a question how product of Sensei's imagination interacts with the real world (e.g. Yasu's rabbits), but honestly it is in line with other world duality and perception stuff, so I'd rather not think about it for now

From my perspective, most logical explanation of blaming himself this strong for Accident would be either a recent quarrel or a suicide note. However, it's just a wild guess, more info is needed indeed

I was legit thinking about how the game would end.And i just have to say that a Harem end would be one of the worst outcomes.Every girl deserves her own ending and shot at hapinesss.

So my question is this.Do we know anything about the future of the game?Like has Selebus said anything about the possible endings and what not?

On the topic of "What caused the accident".Can it be that Nozumo was suspicious of Sekais relationship with Akira,proceeded to confront Sekai while in the car,and that as a result caused the accident?

I'm fairly new to the community and might get some stuff wrong, but I'll take a shot at answering this. The game is currently in the "harem route" which we have recently learned is the first five chapters. After that will be the "dark route", which we don't know much about, but this is a game about being happy so I can't imagine anything will go wrong. Remember to smile! Then there are the "purity routes", which from what I understand will be "good ends" for all of the 35 girls. Finally there is a "true end", which again we don't know much about, but probably involves leaving the "simulation" or whatever the fuck Kumon-mi is. So it's probably unlikely that there is any sort of harem ending at all.

This is very possible. There is an event ("First Contact"?) which describes a car crash, ending with the line "Why did it have to be him?". It's been theorized that that is Nozomu asking Sekai about Akira.

I think you are talking about this:

But it seems Ami does not specify hair color, just that it was not pink. Perhaps, it was Himawari. They seem to be connected in a lot of ways.

Thank you, I was here watching events trying to remember if it had already been said who this girl was.

Maya is probably lying about not having personal experience with Niki [...]

I'm not sure actually. I assume you're referencing this:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
The problem is that Niki's first reaction is not knowing who she is. Which is also what Maya says (that they never met). And the timelines make sense. Maya's earliest conversation with Noriko has them telling eachother how Akira hasn't seen Niki in months. It would be extremely weird for Akira to "adopt" Maya while he was still with Niki and before Sekai's death (which is what would have been necessary for Maya to meet Niki).

The one possibility I see for Niki having seen Maya is for Maya to be keeping an eye on her. But how would Maya even be doing that? That would require her to go to the old district and to deal with her worst fear (which is Niki). If this isn't a red herring, I'd assume that Niki is referencing True Maya/Narrator Maya, and that she remembers her from some supernatural stuff. Or the most boring answer:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
She could have very easily bumped into Maya during this cycle.

I think its possible that Maya didn't have any interaction with Niki. Its just Maya is so jealous/afraid because she knows Niki is one of the still alive girls Akira loved. Niki is the one Maya most fears right, from Untitled?
