I met my waifu girlfriend in high school. No dramatic dysfunction worth writing a story about, though.

Oh, and I avoided the Student Council like the plague.

In my experience, personal change of that magnitude comes at a very high cost. Shizune has to realize that her own choices have caused a great deal of pain for many people around her. To make that change, to genuinely turn away from selfishness to a greater awareness, comes with very painful realizations. To avoid that pain is to avoid accepting responsibility for one's own actions, and without that acceptance of responsibility genuine change is impossible.

Has the experience of your life been different? If so, I'd genuinely love to know.

The experience of my life is an incredibly painful and depressing and potentially hopeless affair. It is not responsibility but ambition that will change it.

"I've hurt people" is hardly a painful realization though. And really, who has she hurt? Misha...Maybe Lilly and Hisao. Not so many. And what's this about selfishness? All she does is done to better those around her. The methods may suck but it's hardly selfish.

Ultimately, I'm confused as to the point of your post. I was talking about the realism in the ending. You're going on about accepting responsibility as if she somehow failed to do that despite...You know, doing that in the ending.

IMO, the reason why most people change their destructive ways is because they want to. What others can do is to create the reasons for the fellows to want to change. If the fellows don't want to change, you can move mountains and we're still at the same position.

I'm in the same age group as the characters in KS, although I don't think I have a disability, I feel like Hisao when he was in the hospital, but for me it hasn't been months, it's been years, almost my entire life (if you could even call it a life) I have sat in my room with nothing to do, and now I'm finally starting to catch up on school (because of this game) and I will hopefully get my last 2 years of school, in public school, around actual people, but I'm not sure what exactly to expect of it. So in that way, I am like Hisao. And there are some other ways I am like other characters.

Well, this is quite interesting. I, too, am a person with Asperger's, but I don't have Nerve Disorder, though, I do seemingly have a minor case of Dyslexia (I can read words, but sometimes a letter appears like another letter. I also have problems with people saying the letters of a certain word to quickly, as I can only pick up/catch the first letter or the first two. I also sometimes end up adding a random letter to a word when writing by hand (in some cases, more than once in the same word) (though, rarely happens when I type on a computer), and even have done "whole-word guesses"). I was surprised to read that you're also paranoid when people are around your belongings. However, unlike you, I always was taught to not care what other people thought of me (In terms of both beliefs and looks). As a result, I kinda took up a care-free nature... Though, I do feel like I do have some form of mental problem (beyond Asperger's), and could snap at any moment... which scares me a great deal, and it isn't helped when my father has PTSD.

Well, anyways, back to the topic.
Probably the first bit, and that's about it. Life changing event happens, get a disease/disorder (Yay, Diabetes) (For those that might be wondering, type 1), move to a new place shortly after. That's where the similarities ends.
Yeah, I moved to a place where there's actually some attractive women/girls, but i'm not all that interested in looks of a woman all that much. And, unlike Hisao, I'm not at all happy with where I live now.

Actually, there was one final similarity, there was a girl in my "past-life" that I was attracted to. But it didn't end like it did with Hisao and Iwanako.
To be remembered by anyone after death is the goal of basically every soul that's lived in this world.

Well, first off I have a disability (Congenital Insensitivity to Pain), and second, I have had an experience similar to Rin. My creative writing shocked my teacher when he saw it, and he tried to force me into writing teams, short story competitions and a bunch of other crap I was never interested in doing. He even tried to use my condition as a highlighter, saying "Look how he describes pain, even having never felt it!", so he was similar to Nomiya in a sense. We have sorted everything out now though, and he has become my favourite teacher in the school, so I didn't get the full Rin experience.
Other than that though, nothing :P

Well... I'm rather introvert person and I constantly think about my decisions, choices or what is my life goal. Probably it makes me somewhat similiar to Hisao. But nothing more. No disabilities, no special school, no great love. In details even more differences, too much that I'm too lazy to explain all.
Probably that is a reason, why KS gave me so much feels.

I'm just as desperate to get people to join my high school debate club as Shizune was to get people to join student council. I believe that's called club stub.

Organized debating is boring sorry. It's just not as fun as telling some one they are fucking wrong, flipping them the bird and storming out of the room assuring your victory.
Edit: Then again I do that in organized debates to so...
