Just a crazy What if idea...

[Oddball]

For some reason I've had an idea bouncing around my head for the last few days. Hisao had his heart attack and started Yamaku in his third year and I was wondering what would have happened and how things would have went if he had started his first or second year there instead.

Depending on which year, you'd have Hanako that's either just getting to know Lilly or doesn't have any friends at all, Shizune not in charge of the student council and without a personal translator, Lilly not living in the dorms, Emi who already has a boyfriend, Misha looking like a normal person still, and Rin... well, okay, Rin probably wouldn't be any different.


I'm trying to think how things would play out and how Hisao would affect them and in some cases I'm just drawing a blank. I'm just curious at to what other people think would have happened and how things could have worked out.

If it was early enough to preempt her crush on Shizune, he'd get with Misha and finally give us that route.

Shizune would badger him to vote her onto the council.

He'd probably scare Hanako away if he ever interacted with her at all.

He'd catch Emi and her boytoy in the shed and develop a crazy lemon phobia.

He wouldn't meet Lilly.

And somewhere deep within the girls' dormitories, a paint-smeared Rin would quietly contemplate a blank canvas and think to herself "I bet the new kid smells like broccoli."

The biggest difference would have been if he came before the Lilly/Shizune fued. In that case there is a big probability of a student council clique of Misha/Shizune/Lilly/Hanako and Hisao. Shizune/Misha/Lilly were already in, so it would be natural for them to take in Hanako and Hisao under their wings. With Lilly having more support, it could have headed off Shizune snapping and becoming a dictator. OTOH if Shizune and Lilly ended up fighting over Hisao, then the fued could have been even worse. OTOOH if Hisao then dies from the stress of them fighting over him, then the girls could have re-bonded over the grief of his death and lived happily ever after

Either way I think the main story line would be a 2nd year student council struggle with Misha/Shizune vs Lilly/Hanako, with Hisao as the fulcrum. His desicsions (and the various arcs) would be how he resolves the conflict, with a ton of bad endings, and a few good and neutral endings. Does he pick one of those girls, and if so, how does he thread the needle with the web of relationships between the other three in a satisfactory way?

well their is a chance that he wouldn't end up with any of them for we know he could end up with Miki or Suzu or somebody we go on about not having a route

[OtakuNinja]

It is my belief that he would end up with the track captain if he had his heart attack earlier.

You may be on to something! The reason most of the sex scenes are stilted or initiated by the female is because Hisao is closetly gay and the track captain we never see is an alternate timeline Hisao who improved his physical shape enough to work out without too much threat to his heart.

Does this mean you won't skin me alive for betraying Hanako?

No, i'll just break both your arms and legs and pour sulfuric acid on your genitals. The pain will die down quickly as nerve damage sets in, don't worry.

This is actually a pretty cool thought-provoker.

I can actually see a really rocky relationship starting with Hanako through this, however. Hisao takes Lilly's initial place, and there is a sort of one-sided affection, etc.

Shizune might be dissuaded from her dictator ideals, as was said before. Maybe Hisao is the one to learn sign language, and teach Misha?

This would actually make a pretty cool fan fiction. Maybe instead of the original five girls, Miki or some of the other side characters could become main characters.

No plans for writing anything like this myself, but if some people went ahead and did route storylines for each of the girls like this, I'd read it.

Why not? You're really good at it.

Going on from this idea: What if Hisao ended up getting together with Lilly, but a year or two earlier than he did in the canon story? (Canon for Lilly's route, I mean.) What would have happened when Lilly's parents summoned her back to Scotland?

...He'd convince her to stay or not. We see that in the game.

[Comrade]

possibly come with her to scotland

[pandaphil]

How likely is it that Hanako would have been an option if she hadn't met Lilly yet? I think its likely that seeing Lily and Hisao together, she'd be reluctant to reach out, afraid of being in the way.

Its possible to that Hisao would be Emi's first boyfriend.
