And also possible confirmation that blue is Hope's color, as it showed up in the sky for the first time (along with the usual red and green) during New Hope's reset.

I was getting ready to commit to red being HOPE's color since last summer at this point in time, HOPE was in control.
(also something something a moon / god is watching Nodoka at this point, Pareidolia is likely inside of Kaori at this moment, Hope is ready to come back during this event chain meanwhile Wires is ready to be corrupted and removed)

But I'm also mulling over the idea of 23 being upside down / backwards in general which could explain why it's following weird rules like being time looped, while 22 just seems to be a world that's just existing. If Akira is originally from there, when he disconnects from 23 during happy events it could explain why he starts speaking backwards / hearing backwards text, he's actually speaking normal, to him at least. (Though that could be a thread that just got dropped from earlier chapters)

Guys, don't bloom into your pants yet. Knowing Sel, there might be something heartbreaking or even stomachaching with Yumi. The chance there is something positive is low. Especially after knowing her mom is probably on drugs again.

Knowing Sillybus, he's just trolling us with the image, because "haha funny yumi plap" cuz he hates us.

Kinda fun watching Ayane's love tower over Chika's rabies buffed affection levels on the progress screen.


And now I have stuff to do after that autoplaying slog of the depression arc. Now with freshly soaped dorm access.

I don't care if this image is just a bait-and-switch, IT'S FUCKING HAPPENING AND NOTHING YOU TELL ME WILL CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE

Depends on what you mean a bait and switch. No way they fuckin, not with how much resistance Yumi has put up to it.

Maybe a tender kiss and finger

Why do I have to be super busy at the moment. Probably going to have to go dark on this thread for a few weeks once the update drops. At least ill have an extra month to catch up because of whatever that thing happing next month was called.

They are facing away from each other though. Which compared to the previous preview image for the last major thing to happen between Yumi and Akira might indicate that this time it may go in a different direction. I'm kind of leaning towards the Yuki stuff that has been building up that other people have mentioned. Maybe they talk about it and it leads somewhere. Sel got me breaking down from just a fucking handhold scene last time. Maybe he will get me with just a hug scene this time.

Maybe they got into a love hotel because Yumi didn't want to be vulnerable in public? but then again there are dozens of better options, including her home (Chika's old one). Unless Yuki is crashing there because she lost her apartment? I don't know. I can't get my head around why'd they end up in a love hotel.

Unles it's that thing about Yuki failing Yumi, and Yumi just saying "fuck it, I'll have sex with him, at least he'll keep coming back for more." Then again, her expression doesn't look good at all during the previews.

If "Ittekimasu" is the hotel scene, then it would hint at Akira being her new "home" - that or she'll just tell him about the time Yuki left her for good "she said Ittekimasu but never came back". Still no idea why the love hotel if that's the case though...

I don't know how they will get there. But I feel like the love hotel is going to be used for love instead of love. Because It would be somewhat fitting for him to finally manage to show love in a way he thinks he cant while laying in bed with a girl at a love hotel.

Glasses?

But more seriously. If you are talking about the way his eyes look. I always thought they looked like something along the lines of an analogue clock face that has had the arms spin around 50 billion times until they became a blur. I don't remember if there is ever anything said about why they are like that in game though. Maybe someone else knows.

"Why are Akira and Yumi sleeping together (fully clothed) in a love hotel?" go.

Why specifically the love hotel? Yumi asks for a suggestion on where they can go and have a private moment. It will fade to black, and then we see Akira's suggestion.

First event is a type of ant. Probably going to be some pretentious comparison to insects while they talk about Yuki going AWOL, The Dragon will be them finding proof of her drugs, maybe giving her a chance to get into rehab / her apartment where Yumi will try to help her.

Third event will be the Hotel since the old apartment is ratty ass, Akira's apartment is too close to Chika and Akira's house isn't safe with Ami and Niki. They'll have a proper heart to heart, she will finally have a moment where they can kiss without any god / rapist bullshit, and the I'll be back / Ittekimasu will be for both Akira and Yuki.

Yeah they'll start facing away because Akira respects their history, just like he backed away on the bridge so she'd have a chance to run away if he blacked out.

Yumi will turn first.

Kinda signifies how broken he is. I've only noticed it in another game, where they also made note of it in a meta way ("her eyes are perfectly normal, but when she starts scheming, is like they become unfeeling black holes" which corresponded with the model sprite change from regular eyes to "psycho eyes", not sure if something similar happens here considering this game does have supernatural elements). You can also see them in at least one other character at a certain point of the game.

Really not looking forward to a 'Stomachache' - Yumi version, or something.

I really don't think he'd be able to do that unless they find her mom OD'd and he quite literally says 'not my problem' and goes away leaving Yumi there. And even then, Yumi isn't as fragile or as broken as Io was, though it'd hurt her greatly and probably either close her route OR break her enough to make her codependent, and isn't that a scary thought.
