How is Misha a possible suicide? "My friend is angry and it makes me angry!" isn't exactly a life-ruining position.

And did Lilly even go to Iverness in Rin's arc? And which trip are you referring to? She visits once then goes off permanently at the end of her arc (bad end)...Assuming it's the last one, Hanako would be fine. And it's a whole town or city or something...I'm sure Lilly and Shizune can separate as needed. :lol:
Sorry -- again with the spoiler mass;
In the Shizune arc we find out that Misha had been deeply in vole with Shizune for years, and that underneath the cheer there was a building despair. This despair was so great that she went into the bed of the one other person she even knew well enough to ask -- Shizune's lover. That's pretty deep. It also tells a lot about her Shizune-driven isolation that Hisao was the best candidate for consolation.
Misha has an incredible cheerfulness as a wall against despair, but when that wall breaks it's not going to be pretty.

OTOH, i see what you mean about that we don't know what happens to Lilly in Rin's arc -- I was assuming nothing changed.

If that wall breaks. Presumably, what stressed it to breaking point was seeing Shizune take a lover - Hisao. Without some similar event in Iverness, she could potentially maintain the facade if not eventually get over it. Plus I highly doubt she'd just be left to suicide. Shizune's stubborn as hell but she can pick up on despair well enough. And even if the same sort of event occurs there (including the guy cheating with Misha), there's a possibility that it will actually end in confrontation (which it never does in the arc) that could better things...Or horribly break them, but only if the parties involved are unreasonable.

Do write it anyway. It's important to let go of your excessive emotions, even if it's just some crappy fanfiction. It's even stated in forum FAQ or somewhere out there.
Thanks... Will do xP

The music gets the feels going to. The music, Innocence... god damn. Thats what played during the second to last scene in Hanakos good ending.

Lilly = Hanako, Emi, Rin, Shizune
I fell in love with Lilly and Hanako

^Heck yeah, that song is awesome. And for me, the way it seemed to play perfectly along with the words due to my somewhat slow reading speed, it was even better. I can't even describe it.

Indeed.... Katawa Shoujo's soundtrack <3

"Breathlessly" still makes me cry if I hear even the slightest bit of it.
Good thing there's "Afternoon" to help calm the feels :D (Also, "Ah Eh I Oh You", puts a nurse-like grin on my face :lol: )
And then, if I feel like becoming happy all of a sudden, "Aria de l'Etoile" sends these waves of happiness through me...

Yes, the soundtrack is amazing. That's where I came up with my random story idea, I suppose if people listen to the music enough, their minds start to make up funny things. It was a shot in the dark to see what people really think about.

Everyone hides who they are at least some of their time. Sometimes you bury that part of yourself so deeply that you have to be reminded it's there at all. And sometimes you just want to forget who you are all together.

What hurts the most is the impact after falling off the roof.

Reading Doomish's last remaining fic, DON'T DO IT! IT'S WORSE THAN 100% OF XAN'S SUSPICIOUS LINKS! (The writing is phenomenal, I'm not hating on him, but the subject matter, oh god. . . . )

What hurts the most? The Kenji ending reads like the last 15 years of my life. Lol.

If I were to do it over again, I'd reject the fear of rejection and be more social.
