Yes, sadly that's just not something the engine currently accommodates. In order to avoid bugs I've used the built-in engine menus and they don't allow access to the start screen mid-game.Problems:
1 - The Scene Gallery is accessible only from the main menu. But the main menu appears only after an end of the game, after asking to repeat the game. And I can't even make a save of the main menu. During the game there is no way to access the main menu and the Gallery from it. If i click on Menu during the game i don't get the main menu but i get this:

You can, however, get to the start screen easily enough by starting the game again. Not ideal, but it is accessible.
You can switch the scene skip mode off in the stats menu, and then you will be able to see the wake-ups again. They're set to skip because they can repeat a lot.2 - After playing the Emi and/or Nobuco end and starting again from the beginning, we get the choice to have an accelerating start and to skip "non-essential" scenes. If i chose this option, all the wake up scenes with all the girls are automatically skipped. So they are considered "non-essential". Some of them are nice and i would like to repeat them but they are not even saved in the Scene Gallery. Not to mention that during the first playthrough when everybody plays all the scenes, Mika was not yet in the harem, so i never saw her wake up scene ..
The wake-ups were a bit more complicated to implement in the scene gallery so I didn't put them in right away, but they are in the more up to date patrons' versions.
Explaining that would be a spoiler. You'll have to wait and see where the story goes...3 - Which "third" should i find? There are already 3 girls from the beginning on, and after the end with Emi or Nobuco, also Mika joins the harem so there are 4 girls already "found". So .. which or what should that "third" be and where to find her?
