Really, routes are insanely hard to get right. They're not a good beginning project, if you're new to writing. (I'm finding that out the hard way with a project that's quickly growing into a route-like format the more I write for it.) Also, consider waiting to release, while still writing ahead. It ...

If Lilly were confessing to her, she wouldn't believe it, just like anyone else confessing to her out of the blue, but for a different reason.

She'd think that Lilly was confessing out of pity.

If Lilly got the timing or methodology wrong, it could echo Misstep surprisingly closely.

And I'm almost certain that once Hanako and Hisao got back from their little trip into the city, Hanako went behind Hisao's back to tell Nurse that he had had a heart flutter (leaving out the bit about it happening because of sex, but Nurse figures it out anyway), and Emi gets involved that way. So ...

Oh, right, forgot about that way to get on Shizune's route. Either way, not Lilly.

Had he raced Emi, he wouldn't be running after Lilly. Because he'd be dating Emi.

I'm getting a passive-aggressive manipulative vibe from him, myself.

I'm a master at taking jokes too seriously and overanalyzing them.

Even sometimes when I know it's a joke.

Never mind that there's probably not enough there for Hanako to motorboat...

Yeah. Although some references to memes have ascended to canon - case in point, Emi's eye color. (Emi became canonically poplar.) But, yeah, I can safely ignore that one. And, I take my comments about the worst way to confess to her back. The worst way is to confess while springing that kink on her.

OK, got an answer, not as bad as I thought. Someone did a poo in her locker. It was a big deal. Could be a joke, could not be, but I could see Hanako specifically freaking out about that. Then again, maybe that's where she got her desire for chocolate from. :twisted: OK, that was just wrong, and I r...

I went ahead and asked in the Ask thread about that, actually, albeit a bit vaguely phrased.

Hanako mentions "worse things" happening to her in middle school, that she doesn't get into with Hisao. Just how bad were those "worse things"? I'm assuming pretty bad, but are we talking "garden variety" physical bullying, or are we talking worse? (If it's as bad as I suspect, it makes Hanako's H-s...

Yeah, I dunno if that was a joke or not. It affects how I'm going to write Hanako slightly (namely, that she actually tries to initiate sex, and not just to make the partner see her in that way) in my story, but not much. And, if you haven't, I'd suggest reading BlackWaltzTheThird's Eminako series ....

But he's right that Hanako wouldn't take THAT well.

No, I understood your quote fine, I was just referring to Chapter 22. Where him not having an answer for her caused lots of pain and suffering when they tried to talk. I think he's going to tell her that he still doesn't know, maybe. But I do suspect Hanako has other plans, expecting him to not have...
