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

[BlackDays]

Considering that in the second image Kaori is literally wearing Sekai's dress, no, it's an intentional callback. In her own way, Sekai is hovering over both conversations.

I do agree that Sekai is involved in both of course.
The dress the woman standing next to little Kaori is a bit different though.
Sekai's is brighter and has long sleeves for example.
I wonder who that woman is. Some think that's older Kaori? Why not her mother, or less likely an older sister?
Just because Sel might have the same model for an alternate Kaori doesn't mean that he wouldn't reuse it for her mother or something.

Spirit Sekai is just watching/involved in both scenes.

Also Niki is referring to how Sensei's body jumped, like he got surprised by remembering something.

Ok, i see that now. Like in startled?
I thought i've seen someone/thing mentioning that "a pink haired girl" might be lying. Implying that whoever that is, should not be trusted, or could hold things back. Like Maya did, again . That's why the "you jumped" came to mind.

Yeah, startled works.

I'm not sure about "a pink haired girl" lying, but the Shapeshifter mentioned that Niki is suspicious and possibly a shapeshifter. There was also how a Narrator was questioning if everyone was lying recently.

With all the altered memories, visual alterations, time manipulation, and possibly shapeshifters around, though, It's virtually impossible to know who's lying or not, or even if they could know they are lying, tbh.

Older Kaori was made mostly for custom pieces made for high-paying patrons. If he used a recycled asset for that, it'd cost him most of of his revenue. It's older Kaori. Specifically, it's child Kaori looking up to her older self.

Same here, it's been almost 2 years since I made that comment and the story definitely meandered for a while. It feels like things are starting to tighten up a bit at least

Yeah the last several updates have actually been more plot heavy. Asides for the annoying "puzzles" and Sel being a bitch in general, that was by far my biggest complaint about the game. Before it felt like most updates were "anime filler" style with some plot heavy ones once or twice a year.

I imagine the game will shift gears into the so-called "dark path" soon, not sure how the plot will play out there. Seems like having "cute filler" on a so-called dark path wouldn't really fit.

I'm still apprehensive about the planned length and timeline to finish though.

Noooo!



Oh.. thank god!

Sana's "Ad Meliora"
With q being a non yet revealed character.

And yeah, i do remember the "don't maybe trust anybody besides maybe "blue"".

While "blue" is a character, as in a picture i showed recently.



Aaaaaand, we totally could use a scribe. Aaaaaand, i totally don't want to do that.

 

[spodermen]

No idea where it happened, but he mentioned it in the "Second Sun" Happy Event. The one with the bucket.

also curious but do you have a save for that?

I wouldn't see it as narrow, but i get what you mean.
For me the question will, for now, still remain.
Besides, Sel is stubborn. (/e cause maintenance ate part of my text) He's the: My way or no way guy.
So the question would be if he'd sacrifice income for his vision.

 

[FireCazador]

Technically, it isn't. The first is White Oak Door.

Right, i forgot about that. But what i tried to mean is consensual unprotected sex, since that time Makoto practically raped Sensei

Don't worry, I'm %80 certain there'll be an animation for it next update, and that's the version most of the audience wants anyway.

So... Kaori got into an accident and since then has been all weird. But have we been told much about her accident? Seeing Kaori get Sekai's eyes and probably act like her in the last event, I wouldn't be surprised if Sekai's car accident was connected or even the same as Kaori's one, and, why not--Sekai now inhabiting Kaori's body, at least deep inside. Fun!

A theory I have seen kicked around here is that it was the same crash and kaori got sekai's heart which is why she has the huge spider tattoo to cover the scar

That was my theory, but it's been revised to a kidney transplant given she has a visible scar on her left side consistent with a kidney transplant scar

 

[Pervyfox]

Honestly I just want to say sel has become incredibly good at writing these school girls while we were all guessing at dorm wars 1 level of writing. Incredibly hyped for beach wars, this may be the best update.

just to clarify, beach wars is NOT next update but august update. next update is an in between, but it looks like we are getting some nice uta / io events so far from the previews and giving Nao-chan some sort of tour. also Maki Haruka beach trip

 

[k1n5l4y3r]

Sekai so deep inside Kaori whoever pull her out will be called... a murderer.

 

[FireCazador]

Perhaps we should give Maya the nickname "Harem Killer"

Maya getting a H-Scene might be too dangerous for Harem fans.

Well, would be dissapointing if after (supposedly) many years and broken Senseis she isnt some kind of sex goddess whose skills are in other level xd

 

[butterfly boy]

So, any thoughts on the possibility of Ayane betraying/trying to replace Maya?

Also seeing as how these thoughts tend to come up at the beach, and the next war thing with Ayane will be against Yasu, likely around the beach, I'm guessing we might be finding out in the near future just how possible this is.

Ayane would never betray Maya as it goes against her character. She just wants to be more in Sensei's eyes.

While continuing the search for clues regarding the roof squad membership, I realized that each girl that has ever showed the sign of perception has been to the roof at least once (I don't think any other "oblivious" girls came to the roof even once; correction is welcome).

Though I don't think Maya saying there isn't anything special about the roof being absolutely true, this here might just be a coincidence. Time point-wise not adding up is one thing, the other is that this just looks too superficial and of no importance at all (especially in the case of Yumi and Tsuneyo).

I think your roof theory is actually the most probable. Most students don't have access to the roof and in Baby Finches it seems like the roof were Maya and Sensei's hangout spot and probably where Sensei jumped too. It also is the only thing that all four of them have in common. The trigger for being aware of resets and surviving resets could be different too, and I think it could be being pregnant.

Well, some are completely random (like we didnt expect that the match was going that way) and some of them are more or less like something we could expect.

Anyone here who's also on the discord feel like posting the previews here? Do it enough and you can earn yourself the title of "that guy that posts the previews every time", a truly wonderful title to have.
