Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.53.0] [Selebus]

[Hario1225]

Birds are actually quite a recurring theme: apart from the Noodles memes, we have Maya being compared to a Marsh Warbler in "A Place That Can Only Exist In Our Minds", Makoto to a Bluejay in "Bluejay" and Nodoka and Sensei are both compared to a White-Fronted Parrot in "White-Fronted Parrot". Moreover, "A Life of Prizes", also known as that fucking puzzle event with impossible questions, has a whole section dedicated to bird facts

Any other birds:

Blue Jay:

Imagine f*cking the lights out of your girl while whispering to her that you're a White-Fronted Parrot lol

Speaking of which, maybe kissing Kaori was the "thing that Sensei wasn't supposed to have, to get before the snow comes again". Idk I have nothing to support this theory at the moment, it's just a feeling

I think that was talked before but i keep thinking that the thing Sensei is "not supposed to have" is maya, its being said a lot during the game (cause will broke him) and iirc Sensei said it himself

Why did Nodoka became flustered when she discovered Sensei's real name? Is it something to do with how Akira used to write before? Now that I think about it, he's technically considered a genius and was top of his class.

He might have done a book signing before like Nodoka.

Actually we dont know but there is a possibility that her conection with Sekai has told her who we were, like if Nodoka was a fan of Sekai or something similar Sekai would talk about Sensei making Nodoka to know us, maybe Sensei wrote a book or post some of his poems and she was a fan. All we actually have are theories

Okay, just finished the update, and new theory (for me, anyway, I haven't read absolutely every post, and I haven't been on the discord):

Amy is the reason for the loops, and maybe even has some control over them. She broke the world (somehow) or created what's going on, or whatever, to ensure she always has her beloved uncle. The reason Akira was not himself on other loops from Maya's perspective is because he was wiped in response to trying to escape (either Amy, or the loops entirely, or some combination of both).

Just an interesting possibility that came to mind at the end of the update content.

I also think similar to your theory like sometimes Ami breaking Sensei cause he was giving so much atention to other girls, sometimes just taking advantage of him when Maya brokes him. I dont think Amy is the real cause for the loops happening but i think Sekai may give her something, just because Ami should have some more memories about resets if she the one doing it

is this the hug boy ver?
every word of sex is hug
also no replays even though i used to have it

It's common for the compressed version to miss the folder with the good stuff when it's made in a hurry, dude will probably update it soonish.

Imagine f*cking the lights out of your girl while whispering to her that you're a White-Fronted Parrot lol

At least he didn't puke in her mouth.

Never really understood how these cards work, how is the information stored in the image? Like, is the locations of the patterns the key or can the program really just read everything off of a flat version of the character model?

Maybe im wrong because i saw this a few years ago but pngs (or a photo with other format i think) can have a lot of info in its code, like you can encript info, links or something like compressing them in its code.

Slow as a rock i just thought about one theory that has been destroyed. The one about the ones Ami kill goes to the roof, literally Maya told Ayame that Ami has killed, tortured and did things to the original class

There's also how Kaori, dressed as Sekai, apparently made it to the roof in the last reset:

So, if anyone, besides Sensei, seems involved with getting to the roof it seems to be Sekai, or whatever is taking her form. Whether she's the only one involved, I doubt it, since Maya is there, and Sekai doesn't like her, unless it's for Sensei's sake or something.

Not to mention: Mangled/Happy/Psycho(?) Ami seemed to be involved in why Maya wasn't waking up in the life of prizes reset:

And related to the "Callous god" aka Nozomu/User1/HOPE etc. Happy Events and Dreams seem to be it's stuff as well, so Maya being trapped in a dream might be a clue as to what was behind it.

So, I'd think Psycho Ami would be wanting them not to make it to the rooftop overall. Might even be the reason others haven't. Leaving them trapped in dreams until Maya resets the world without them.

There's also how apparently Sensei can see those he's defiled:

So, maybe during the resets, Sensei could wake up the other girls that he's had sex with, but just hasn't tried/realized it yet.

She actually never said ami killed them.
If you are determined your victims can survive butchering maiming and torture and poison for numerous sessions....
So I kinda put that one on an in-between place... going to my fall back love theory though for now I posted a few pages back in 2 different posts

Butchering directly implies killing though, the others you can easily survive if your name is Rasputin

Sidenote, but really wondering who called Ami and Maya/Ayane and told them them to meet up at the wrong locations.
Sounds like a 3rd party is trying to create a rift there perhaps?

Oh no you can butcher a living animal. Have you never watched horror films or seen the cannibals in zombie movies and games cutting the flesh off living people so the meat doesn't go bad.... yeah you can butcher something and keep it alive

Keeping your food alive is just inhumane, and fear/stress causes the muscles to tense up ruining the texture.

Hypothetically speaking, if i were to eat people, i'd kill them quickly while they least expect it. Hypothetically. In game ofcourse.

"Butchered" definitely implies she killed them. Especially since Maya differentiates between that and maimed, tortured, etc. Implying there's a notable difference.

Psycho Ami also apparently anal raped them, unless Maya meant something else by "Sodomized", so, damn.

Then again, we can't really take Maya's words as fact. She's been wrong before, and both Maya and Tsuneyo have acknowledged that Maya's memories may not even be accurate. Or as Sensei said:

If true love was all that was necessary, Niki would be there a million years ago. Her love is so true it lasts through the cheater flag affection point wipe.

Heaven for Human Blood Ami is, like, the opposite of a source I'd trust. Perhaps disregarding her words entirely would be too far, but if I had to choose who to believe between her and Maya, it wouldn't be her.

Hey just imagine this scene:
Ayane: ... I just realized you tried to get me killed! Yelling about pregnancy outside Ami's window.
Maya: who said anything about ami killing you, she does worse. And yes I got annoyed with you, I really wasn't expecting you to remember it anyway.

Good scene idea. But no, I'm not willing to throw away the ami kills you to get to the roof just yet. But I am putting up on the shelf of improbable but possible .
This is sadly the one I'm going with now... not enough stabby stabby though but can be summed up in two posts I made earlier

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

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

If true it narrows the current girls to be next down to possibly futaba, Makoto, or noriko they still refuse to accept the worst parts of him fully like Ayane seemed resigned to but still love him and are dealing with it atm

There's also how Baby Finches Maya (who is implied to be how Maya was before the resets) apparently was into the god of wires stuff:

Plus birds and sex:

All things that seem to show up quite a bit in the game.

Meanwhile, we know Maya is still into birds (literally roleplays as a bird person in DnD) and sex, but the Maya we know seems to pretend she never heard anything about a wire related god:

Spoiler

Her eyes even look away, which might be her "tell" that she's not being honest. Something that happens quite a bit actually.

So, even if Maya's memories are real, it doesn't mean she's honest about them. Same could be said for the possibly false memories she might have.

Also, Maya not recognizing the MM note, which she claims it seems like something she'd write, seems awfully suspicious:

and still unexplained.
