So, within a period of four years years at High School, there's also the matter of the MC's injuries from the "violent incident" resulting in a collapsed lung.
The thing is, the "violent incident" resulted in BOTH lung wings collapsing (which is stated in game) among other injuries. We are talking here about major, lifethreatening traumata. It is far more likely the result of what happened when Summer went missing than the result of schoolyard fisticuffs, because some idiot looked the wrong way at Nami.

The actual quote from the flashback is "His lungs collapsed!" meaning his lung (singular) has collapsed ("His lung's collapsed!" not "His lungs have collapsed!"). He the MC also appears to have a bleeding laceration on right forearm. So...

1. car crash or similar incident? (unlikely since they're usually not described as a "violent incident")
2. assault or incident relating to Summer's disappearance?
3. assault during a fight relating to Nami at HS?

I'm keeping an open mind on this.


Even High School students are known to carry knives...

I might not be a native English speaker, but I learned that "lungs" is plural, meaning both lung wings collapsed. That sentence is spoken in an Emergency room, so contracted speech is not rare. But lungs without an apostroph is always s-plural in English.

I am a native English speaker, so I know when a sentence has a common grammatical/punctuation mistake. Contraction of the plural in speech would sound like "lungs've."

As said, I understood it as both lung wings collapsed, on the grammar scale very misleading. "His lungs collapsed" can still mean plural and I think that is what Ocean meant. In German this contracted sentence would be rendered as "(Seine) Lungen (sind) kollabiert" which is completely clear since Lungen is the n-plural and in German there is even no ambiguity there with an s-plural due to different grammatical marking.
Singular would be "(Seine) Lunge (ist) kollabiert" and mean one lung wing collapsed.

I checked the Discord channel and no one has brought up this particular grammar ambiguity from the game. I posted a message there, asking for clarification on plural versus singular.

Ocean clarified on Discord that it means plural lungs, both lungs (somethings the small things matter ;) )

Thanks for the info!:) As I wrote before, with both lung wings collapsed and some other injuries, Nika had a close brush with death. While it is possible that his injuries stem from an accident or a schoolyard fight (or the spiders decided to rise up;):p ), this is unlikely. It would have had outside repercussions and also mental imprints, which is not the case as far as we know.
Therefor I theorise that he sustained his injuries when Summer vanished, most probably under criminal circumstances.
This is reinforced by the fact that neither Nika nor Nami ever reckon with Summer returning. The game title clearly implies a "gone forever".

hi guys... I'm new to this game. just wondering if this game is full of sex and erotic scenes?
That might/will come some day, but not now. There is even a render of Nami and Sarah at the very beginning of the game, telling those who are here to fap to wait until more chapters are released. The current chapters are worldbuilding mostly.
But I can tell you that you will not miss the sex scenes and there is some teasing.
