Sunday morning. No swimming today, but the habit of early mornings is pretty solidly established now. Since it’s my routine every other day of the week, I’ve taken a liking to wandering the grounds early Sunday mornings. While it’s normally deserted at this time anyway, it somehow feels even more de...

Looking up when Marine day would have been in 2007, it would have been the 23rd July, the third Monday of July which would put the 3-day weekend between 21st-23rd. On yours you have it the week prior. Is that due to the game? Everything I've looked at has pointed toward 16 July. What's your source ...

Still digesting this, but a few things stick out: - You seem to have done a fair bit of research, so good on you. - Placing this scene in present tense feels... off. A constant present tense narration carries a sense of dynamism that, set against the mode of "dialog->reaction" seems to bre...

I'm starting to think this discussion about floor numbers learns toward derailment... More to the point, there are literally hundreds of possible ways to assign room numbers. You mention the floor below Hisao's having a leading 0 as both a possibility and an impossibility, but I addressed that oddit...

Mirrors of the Sun What struck me the most about this is that it is far clearer than in KS proper that English is not Aura's native language. Other than that, is was a competent work. Not really much to say. Heartbreak Setting aside the fact that 6 months after Lilly's departure would place this in...

The first thing I notice when I wake up is Misha's distinct scent surrounding me. When I open my eyes, though, she's nowhere to be seen. With a soft sigh, I remind myself that she and Shizune left yesterday afternoon, along with Lilly and Akira. That part still confuses me, but I guess they are fami...

"I have been to your school. Really... The students there..." I can already think of about a million things he might say, and I'm preparing for my heart to sink on hearing any of them. It's funny, they are probably things I've thought before. "They don't even have cleaning duty."...

I'm somewhat inclined to take the interpretation that Jigoro and Hideaki are actually quite normal, to some extent. Jigoro's a little eccentric, granted, but he's clearly a successful and wealthy businessman (and likely single father). As I'm fond of pointing out, his first impression of Hisao is pr...

Probably just a quirk of the scripting to avoid redundant text and make all the logic gates work properly. They could either have had the first section "Slow Recovery" with the choice hidden behind a logic gate, or alternately had the script in "No Recovery" drop into "Slow ...

A technicality is why you see "Slow Recovery". To actually get "Slow Recovery" to count in your library, you need to essentially be actively be pursuing both Shizune and Emi - the key feature of the "Slow Recovery" event is forcing Hisao to choose between Shizune and Em...

Ah, this discussion again. Always fun. From my most recent read, I am currently of the opinion that Shizune's route "ends" with "The Summit". The next three scenes are epilogue - tying up the loose ends, reaching conclusions, etc. Also, you're missing a key detail with even prese...

You can call this my "Grand Unified Theory of Writing with the Audience in Mind" or something. I see writing as working with audience goodwill, a limited resource. Every reader comes in with a different amount. When you write something they like, you accumulate more goodwill; when you writ...

My guesses on the codes: emi - No idea, so I'll go with your guess of "Emi" emm - Emi's Mom (has got it going on) hi - Hisao nk - Nurse-kun nosex - Nostralith Exordium, Winged Terror of the Seven Hells Well, first things first - this is old. Old old. SPaG issues here and there, and a sever...

I'll admit I'm a bit confused regarding Hisao's health - he wasn't immediately knocked out as a result of the fall down the stairs, but passed out afterwards. Furthermore, he remained unconscious for a good few hours, even while being given CPR/taken to the nurse's office. That makes sense if his h...
