I'll... pass, on that one.

"Please stay" was heavily meant to imply "as long as we're still alive" so unless something goes horribly wrong all of a sudden due to a freak occurrence, I see such a simple request as the catalyst for a very strong long-term bond between the two of them.

I think it's only left open in a sense that you wonder what happened to each character and (in event of good ending) how their relationship panned out. In a way, I prefer the lack of closure as it allows for speculation and discussion on boards such as these :) I constantly have an internal battle ...

At any rate, my own theory about the whole thing is that all this ambiguity we're wading through was a lot of the point. Incompatible with the obsession to know as many details as possible, to have a definitive set of information, Wiki-style. I think that's kind of the reason this keeps going despi...

Proto-Misha looks like every anime girl ever. I'm glad they actually went with a design that was't incredibly dull and forgettable.

Yeah, what they went with is all around more fitting too.

Smart stuff

I can see all that. You're right. I have to wonder which was intended still, but this does make more sense thematically.

It's kind of a shame because I think insisting she has to like boys diminishes both Misha's character and the setting in general. I don't think anybody is saying that she isn't allowed to not like boys, I think people, including myself, are/were under the impression that it made sense based on her ...

I'd like to be clear too, the word "has" here referred to what makes sense in the context of the VN, I wasn't trying to say "Misha must like boys she isn't allowed to be a lesbian because I said so". I feel like that's a misconception that people have about this.

You've already worked out what the "deeper meanings" are for each possibility. It feels like the discussion is being prolonged for its own sake. Are we really this short of topics now? I don't know... do you have something you want to talk about more? There's an add topic button here, and the forum...

That looks incredibly badass.

And Astronaut Rin is cute.

How many threads does it need, though? You can argue this back and forth forever and you will never have a definitive answer. I'm curious as to what you're expecting to get out of this anyway; are you expecting some hidden deeper meaning to reveal itself based on whether she is a lesbian/bi/pan/som...

One of these doesn't quite fit... can you guess which? http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/028/6/1/emi_ibarazaki_by_project_heavy-d7473ho.jpg http://th00.deviantart.net/fs70/200H/i/2012/066/4/2/emi_by_kkyz13-d4rzwqj.jpg https://archive.thedarkcave.org/foolfuuka/boards/c/image/1379/89/137989839729...

Are we really putting this much thought into a side character's sexuality? Tedious, isn't it? I see a lot of it in society in general, people endlessly ruminating on whether other people might be gay or not like it really fucking matters to them. In this case it changes the meaning of a fairly impo...

Nobody agrees with the idea of an aggressive Hanako. That's why it's a "what if"... With some adjustment of ages, I'm now picturing Hanako having to step up and take care of a parentless Lilly in place of Akira...This would end strangely. It would be cute if it happened after they met, and Hanako r...

Technically nothing contradicts that, although the same could be said for a lot of the characters...
