HOPE said that Akira has time until "the snow returns":

This means the ultimatum does not kick in at the end of summer. It's in the beginning of winter. But it seems we are getting spring next, so the deadline must be postponed. And if HOPE doesn't like it, he'll have to face the wrath of the Semantics God. Suck it.

And then maybe we have autumn next to spring... Another ominous "Winter is coming" that never comes.

Just to be that tireless pedant again, it's not entirely unheard of for it to snow in spring in some parts of the world. Though I will admit I am unsure if it's ever happened in Japan.

It does and so does the Ami stuff at the beginning, specifically the hallucinated sex scene at the beginning. Sekai and Himawari, I might have missed those in the chapter 1 rework, but I only remember them in the later game.

Replayed the new TRWC.
Sekai is there, with her whole abcd sound again. Himawari shows up at the end of it saying "Smile" "It's the only thing you can do here."
At least those two sounds are still there which i thought were gone (maybe had sound off last time), which i think are important.
The health monitor and the baby mobile sound.
I think they have some importance.
Someone came up with something similar too.

Maybe Sekai was pregnant again and Akira was (after getting her out of the car crash rubbles and delivering her to a hospital) challenged with the choice of who to save, like doctors telling him only one could possibly survive a surgery.
Her or the/their baby.

Maybe he decided for the baby or he decided for Sekai, meaning he'd have to sacrifice one over the other.
The worst outcome whould have been, that no matter who he chose, the other died regardless.
That would have given him the utmost punch to his mental health i can imagine.

As far as we know he couldn't save Sekai no matter what.
What would have happened to a possible baby, we don't know.

But, no matter what really happened, as i said those two sounds seem important, i think they are at least a metaphor for life and death.

We know spring is coming, a significant thing to be aware given there is no spring or autumn in Kumon-Mi, BUT

Peredolia simply said a new season is coming, he didn't say it was coming right away.

If i remember correctly, Japan has like a lot of different climate zones.
Looked it up again a bit, make of it what you want, didn't searched in detail.

Spoiler: Japanese climate

From a travel site:

"The traditional snow season in Japan coincides with the start of winter so you can expect to see snow on the ground from mid-December onwards. The snow season lasts about three months but can often extend into March and early April, meaning there's plenty of time to enjoy this country's beautiful white landscapes."

If it extends into early April, that would definitely be spring.

Howeve,r I want to point out that this is spring following winter, not spring following summer, so if Spring truly is coming out of season (after Summer), who knows what the weather might look like.

Kinda what I was clumsily getting at. I mean the weather can do some out of season or unusual things. Like who would have expected snow in Texas like what happened a couple of years or so ago.

Yasu: Oh you mighty Lord, may you answer to this worthless servant and lead her to the right...

HOPE: Not now Yasu! God is watching the weather news! Shit, another hot sunny day! FUCKING JAPAN!

Nice catch. It does make me wonder though, HOPE could seemingly cause a few hours of Summer to happen in Winter:

I wonder if The Wire god could do that as well. In theory, the Snow could return for a few hours, whenever.

Watch HOPE somehow make it Snow just to avoid this technicality.

Random, but I had forgotten that Tsubasa really needs to get laid:

Time to call the WAP Man.

She's a handful yeah.
but for the sake of maintaining a good image in touko's eyes. ill have to skip her content (if her route is going to be miss-able that is).

Upsetting toumoko is the last thing i would wish to do. she's so precious.

(not that sensei's "image" isn't already bad.. it's laughable even. but hey it could always get worse so uh..)

Probably missable after the first time, but no main girl will escape undefiled.

Tapioca's fate is inevitable. Her mom's practically ordering her to get laid.

Honestly, i've been quietly watching you guys talk about the serious consequences that will come if Akira doesn't take what he has no right to or whatever it was but for me i feel like Hope is just fucking desperate and is lashing out with threats he can't follow up, all bluff, all bark and no bite, Akira has survived almost 3 chapters now with Hope trying shit and he's gotten no where of consequence... if you imagine that threat made out of fear, out of panic with Pareidolia's season coming and Hope's power/influence waning, it does kind of turn into a bit of soggy lettuce.

I'm not at all saying my hunch is right, it's just a hunch, but i've just never felt that threat had any weight behind it. I've spent more time just thinking about what it is he's suppose to be taking than whatever the 'consequences' would be if he didn't do it.

I dunno, i often find myself looking at this game/story from a meta perspective, what's the point of Hope's threat in the story? What can he really do if the only real consequences are Akira just gets fully reset, that'd make for a pretty game. Maybe he get's locked in a box and tortured... boring. Maybe he gets tormented by having his girls taken away somehow... ok... then what? Like, from a narrative perspective, Hope is pretty limited in what he can actually threaten Akira with given the game is already forced to remain somewhat consistently the same if Selly doesn't want to risk his income, if shit goes far too weird far too fast then a lot of people are going to either lose interest or feel ripped off for all the time they put in.

I'm kinda rambling here, i enjoy reading the theories but i ultimately have little energy for any that deviate too far from 'shit will pretty much stay the same with some measure of progression' and so i don't put any weight on Hope's threats.

With this post, sir, you forever forfeit any right to self-use the Dunce Cap!!!

I agree, I feel like despite all the warnings and threats, the status quo of this story will remain until the Dark Route starts, which I don't like at all but it is what it is.

Are the signatures for the lessons of love handmade or are they somewhere?

I have an event where I need to invite Maya over but I dont have her phone number. Any idea which even this is tied to?

On a saturnday or sunday check the phone till you see the event, it's a happy event not a regular one so the rules are kinda bendy, you don't need her phone iirc.

 

[ppbeater]

does this mean anything or is it just an easter egg for those who pay attention to small details

edit: oh you just click the text nvm

 

[FireCazador]

What can he really do if the only real consequences are Akira just gets fully reset

I just imagined that Sel give us an option to take "that thing he isnt supossed to have" or not, and if we choose not to take it delete all the save and make us start again cause "it reseted Akira and all the world"
