Anyway, here's a thought: If KS did have a "true" ending, what would it be?
If it was done Clannad Style Hisao would receive a twinkling star for each time he reaches a good ending.
Then you'd have to restart the game and get to the manly picnic.
After Hisao falls from the roof, he would awaken in the hospital find that his arrythmia has been miraculously cured, and he'd go back to his old school to live happily ever after with Iwanako.*
If it was done Ever17 Style, Hisao would learn a bit more about himself and Yamaku's past with every route. Then, when he finally has reached every good ending, he'd

Trust me, you don't want to know. And then

**If I hadn't read the script, I'd be tempted to try it just to see if the devs hid an easter egg there...And yes, I believe it does.
