And even then, during the moment of parting itself, Hanako momentarily clings to Lilly and asks her if she really has to go, very obviously crushed. There's not much doubt that for Hanako's sake, it really was better not to immediately know of Lilly's situation. I don't think she'd have joined the n...

Xanatos does make a good point. Lilly wasn't just in love with Hisao, but Hisao was also in love with Lilly and was already pondering the best way to confess to her. It's not unlikely that even if Lilly hadn't lost her cool and confessed to Hisao, Hisao would have confessed his feelings to her. Prob...

The longer you have something the harder it is to give up. And? You still had it at some point. Yea sure you had it but if you never had it in the first place you wouldn't have to go through the pain of losing it. I wonder if I'm the only one who finds it funny to hear you say that while noting tha...

Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all might apply here. Heck, any girl getting involved with Hisao probably keeps the same axiom in mind when starting a relationship with him. Merloficus, Lilly could have told Hisao she couldn't have a relationship and I don't think Lilly pla...

Ehhh, Lilly is not my favorite route either. She seems very Mary Sue to me, a kind of person who you admire from afar. Someone who is gentle and kind, yet knows when to put her foot down. That's... kind of boring. I think you need to look up what the Mary Sue type really means. A Mary Sue is a perf...

Are you serious? I was aware that it happened, but I thought it was an extreme of Japanese-ness, not something bound to happen with the average group of passers-by. And let me guess, they don't feel bad about the trouble they cause you by misdirecting you, because in those circumstances there was n...

Uh, if the bad news is already /there/ - if there is a problem - then I generally prefer being openly confronted about it rather than to find out later that I've been deceived, that the other person suffered in silence, and that now I have to deal with piled-up consequences from the problem having ...

I suppose. Sure didn't stop Akira though. Akira doesn't exactly behave like a typical Japanese to begin with. That, and probably the fact that Lilly still didn't know exactly how to handle things. Pardon the cliche, but she was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Either way, somebody got hurt, w...

It does seem kind of odd that she never has a negative word to say about her folks. I don't think it is. It fits in well with the confucian moral code that Lilly probably grew up with or was at least taught in her previous school(s). Part of that is absolute loyalty to parental figures. Another par...

I find it interesting no one is pointing out how similar Lilly and Hisao are. The arc is as much about him as it is about her imo. I kind of disagree there. I mean, both basically live their lives allowing their condition and others to dictate how they live (Hisao after it happens). Hisao's conditi...

Welcome to the club. You'll find few enough members here on the forums. It's not only that she hid the truth from Hisao for so long, but she actually knew about the summons before she even started the relationship. And that's when the whole theme in her arc was "honesty": If Hisao doesn't tell the ...

I always thought the older Lilly looked a bit odd. She seems to lack the motherly air that defined the character.

Holy crap. I never saw that image before, but that's exactly the kind of image I had in mind when I wrote the first part of the hotel-chapter. If Sisterhood was a manga, the hotel scene would have that kind of atmosphere.

She wasn't dominant in her bad end though, nor did she calmly and assertively put Hisao in his place. She simply felt cornered and miserable and frustrated and as a result had a major freakout. Dominance and assertiveness require being in control of the situation. "In control" was probably the worst...

Although why is it for some reason I can actually see (once she gets used to sex) Hanako being much more dominant in the bedroom than she is in public? (the phrase "Shut the hell up and do me" comes to mind ) Dunno. Why? :) Certainly not based on Hanako's assertiveness as shown in the game. Getting...
