Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.54.0] [Selebus]

[Riolol]

It's mostly conjecture, but it's because of the Flies story in 'Something everyone knows and ignores':

So, the story involves a male who hid his sexually because of his parents, became twisted, decided to crush flowers so others couldn't enjoy them, then killed himself.

Then there's Nozomu, who seems to be both Callous, and Dead, and seeing as how religion seems to play a big part with Saki:

Who is likely his and Sensei's mother, I can see Nozomu's parents forbidding him from being gay, which caused him to become callous.

Of course, I could be way off.

So if Nozomu is gay then he likely intentionally caused the car crash? Wild.

Possibly, but Nozomu is mostly an enigma.

And actually, I just realized I may have jumped the gun. Technically, the guy hung himself:

But it didn't actually say he died. It could have just been an attempt. Still, if the story is about Nozomu I wouldn't be surprised.

If Nozomu is gay there is a big chance that Akira is Ami's true father and Nozomu was forced to marry Sekai to cover for them.

I may have missed something here but isn't Ami's father supposedly Akira's brother

It would explain the mutual disdain Akira and Nozomu had for each other, but I think it's way too far fetched. We still don't have any real proof that Nozomu was gay after all

Nozomu is Akira's brother

With a rope?

Considering Nozomu and Sekai seemed to be married before Sensei hit puberty, since she was around to play peekaboo with Sensei, I don't think the marriage involved Ami. I do think it could have been a cover though.

Sekai was noted to have pretended to be religious, and Saki seems to be religious, so the entire relationship may have been more of a business thing. They make eachother look good, but do whatever they want. Sekai being a married teacher probably would have made it easier to groom her students without suspicion. Not to mention it'd give her a brother in law to "play" with. Which, in retrospect, may have been the main attraction.

 

[barglenarglezous]

At the end i do have a strong feeling that at least someone had a pretty unhealthy relationship (meaning physical) with his/her mother.

We actually meet Saki in one of the happy scenes, though. Saki and Sekai are not the same person.

Now, if Nozomu slept with/raped his own mother, and Akira is the product of that, then some things would fall into place. This would explain how Akira is, as Yasu says, "a child born to someone who understood"

 

[Riolol]

Yasu says, "a child born to someone who understood"

I thought that was a reference to Akira's father being the protagonist Sel's previous game

 

[DeSkel15]

That fucking face...

I assume it was with a rope. I can also see the whole rope having a mind of it's own, and lures others stuff that Yasu is talking about, as a nod towards suicide.

Anyone got save from 0.31 for bad uncle route?

 

[saerav]

Wow, well that was a really creepy update.

Also, i find it worrying how many events are starting to have "abrupt" endings that just end up with I guess either Sensei having visions and sleepwalking home or some sort of terminal message. Like I think I counted 3 just in this update. The Nao one was really good tho, I just hope the trick doesn't lose it's novelty. This update gave me shivers like 5 times

EDIT: oh man I didn't read the thread before posting and now i see there's people pointing out the face 2 posts above mine lol

I remember that event. Not in detail though. I think it starts within a sports locker room? But they talk like they where standing in a school hallway.
How'd he even have a memory about it like this?
Unless he time travelled there.

Maybe this is a time paradox and he is his own father

Anyway, besides the little we get as facts here and there, with the perception thingy going on, it's hard to rule out a loooot of things.

 

[Kagitane]

What do you think guys - Did Sekai feel attraction and "love" only for Akira or would any prepubertal boy at the time have suited her?

 

[barglenarglezous]

That's an assumption we made based on the reveal that Saki was his mother. But last I heard, Nothing Is Beautiful never got out of the demo stage, so there's not an ending, and especially not a canon ending that we can point to and definitively say "this is Akira's father."

I think her whole thing was how wrong it was so Akira was probably extra lucrative as a target cause he's also her husband's brother

I think she loved Sensei, only second to Ami, but initially it was all about her "darkest desires":

The wrongness of it seemed to be the main allure.

Sensei however also had the added bonus of it being as close to incest as she could likely get, so I think any would have suited her, but her brother in law was more taboo.

 

[D4NT4R1UM]

Don't know why but I feel like the end of this game is gonna be a mix between Danganronpa 2 and The end of Evangelion

Thanks, now i cant get a Sensei standing in front of the hospital bed out of my head

The event is Everything is Connected, and it starts on a soccer field. It's the one where you see Miku and the Kanda's severed heads, and they turn into melons. Maya guides you to a shed, where you briefly interact with Akira's mother.
