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

[DeSkel15]

Well, that returns some credence to the theory. I'm supposed to believe it's a coincidence Rin just happens to be that much unusually younger than the others in a class (or at least Chika)? I'd say it's more likely she, at the minimum, shares a mother with someone (Ami). Otherwise, that's quite the unused plot point.



The impression I got from Rika, combined with the other statements, is that she also didn't really know and was making assumptions. All she actually seems to know is he wasn't around when Rin was born. Any reasonable adult (inc. Sara) would assume it's because he abandoned her. Selebus leans quite extra heavy into how much they're making assumptions, and even those who should know appear to not know.

Reading back through, I see discussion about Nozomu being Akira's brother? But I can't find messages discussing evidence on that. (I'd like to see more).
Regardless, at the very least, I think Rin is Sekai's with a considerable lack of info.


Well, thing is, that whole period of their lives (Akira's teenager years until becoming a tutor) is, to my knowledge, a blank in the story right now that Akira refuses to even think about. Sekai, for instance, could have been forced by circumstance. I agree it wouldn't make sense for her to willingly give up Rin.

Nozomu is Sensei's older brother, Sekai's husband, Ami's presumed father, and his name is on the tombstone along with Sekai's:

He died 8 years ago in the same accident that claimed Sekai.

Sensei also likely spent a lot of his life, all of his teenage years, and his early adult years with Niki. (And Noriko, but she wasn't around until the teenage years).

May have missed some things. This game is huge.

It's definitely likely that Rin has some relation to someone, although I doubt Sensei is her father since he's likely only fucked Sekai and Maya, before the Resets. His older brother (Nozomu) is another story as he's more of a mystery. The girls also tend to look a lot like their mother (besides Yumi), so I doubt any of them besides Ami is likely Sekai's.

I'd say it's more likely she, at the minimum, shares a mother with someone (Ami). Otherwise, that's quite the unused plot point.

Rin is only maybe a year younger than the average of her classmates. Chika's one year older, that's why they're ~two years apart. (e.g. most of them are 19, Rin is 18, Chika is 20 (this game totally takes place in a college setting and all characters are 18+))
For Rin to be Ami's younger sister, she would have to have been conceived around May the year after Ami was born to have the birthday we have for her and would be 18 months younger. Ami would have been at least two but more likely a lot older when Rin was adopted out. For neither of them to know about her existence would be possible but weird
If you take what Rika says about Rin's mother, it can't be Sekai, either. That information comes at least partially second-hand from the adoption agent, but should be somewhat reliable. If we do take that, Rin's mother was far younger than Sekai ("way too young to be having a kid") and had some sort of brain/head trauma or disorder. Her having any siblings also isn't brought up either (and her mother having another daughter ~12-18 months older probably would have had to give her up for adoption too,) and what we have points to Rin being an only child

My bad, that was a bit of a dated reference, not to mention cringe and terminally online. A female, Japanese DrDisrespect is a little more timely

I understood the reference, and I am actually surprised not many people here know that scumbag, it was a big meme like 2-3 years ago.
I guess in 2-3 years everyone will forget about DrDisrespect and Chris Tyson too

It's okay, everyone here is a boomer. We can't all be teenagers who still actually enjoy life and get phat dubs on the fortnite ig {le shrug} /srs /pol

"...too young to be having a kid..."
Now that's a real nail in the coffin right there. I concede the Sekai point, then.

We all have our tinfoil moments from time to time, don't feel discouraged to put forward your theories.

... what does phat dubs mean ...

dub is short for Dublin, famous for their soccer team's winning streak. Phat is a Gaelic word for "great." It basically means "great success" and you can hear Irish soccer fans shouting "Phat dubs, phat dubs" at games. #Gamers have taken it to mean "wins"

A new Bo Burnham reference!

I'll say, that song (That Funny Feeling) can be summarized in its line of "the quiet comprehension of the ending of it all", I doubt it relates to Akira rn but perhaps Niki, with the name "Broken Furniture" to me says that maybe she will find something out.

Having been here for a while, I'm starting to think I might be one of the youngest and I am very concerned that this is the case

Careful lest you slip character. I think you're supposed to be calm.

Same, although I dont care what anyone plays, I just cant imagine any older person playing game like this. Anime looking stuff in general is here consumed mostly only by the younger people.

I'm actually 99% sure that I'm the youngest here and that worries me too hahaha.....

 

[Detective Dc345]

The whole Nozomou impregnation spree theory doesn't really add up. The only person that Nozomu could pheasbily be the father of is Nodoka. She has the Arakawa brown hair and the red, crimson, burgundy eyes of whatever Sekai's maiden name is. Nodoka's mother could be Sekai's sister or relative. And Nozomou could've knocked up Sekai's presumed sister and then ran off with Sekai. There's no timeline as to when Nodoka's mother got sick but Nozomou could've ditched Nodoka's mother after she got sick and got with Sekai and had Ami.

Kind of random, but I do think it's interesting to see different viewpoints on the game no matter one's age.

For me, Sensei is quite old, which definitely makes him more creepy in my eyes. I can't even imagine being 30, let alone being a 31 year old messing around with teens or...wizards.

Frankly, even someone that's Kaori's age getting with Sensei seems a little odd to me.

Meanwhile, I know others immerse themselves in Sensei, which brings out interesting PoVs. Those who don't, also bring out interesting PoVs. There's value to be found here, no matter the age of the player, imo.

I don't like the theory, but Nozomu could have been going around fucking other girls.

However, game's already complicated enough as it is, I highly doubt Nozomu being the father of anyone other than Ami will prove true (not even her).

Do not mock me or I will attack you, these hands have been the cause of death to many and one more won't make a difference.

I'm not even gonna be Akira's age by the time this game ends in 6 years, I'm not sure if it's gonna be weird for me to play this when I get there.
Is it hipocritical to beat it to teen girls if they are a videogame?

When it comes to Kaori I don't think there's anything wrong, past 20 years of age I feel like it doesn't really matter, my first woman was when I was 18 and she was mature, never felt like it was wrong
