I wonder how many dreams Hisao inadvertently crushed

[Potato]

You two gave me a hearty chuckle.

I wonder how many dreams were crushed by Hisao bailing on his old school and all his old friends...

Whoa, now that's a thought. At least one, actually. Had to be more.

And you're welcome Munch.

And Emi...Well, we know she's dated before so she probably had some admirers. Maybe the excessive fondness for lemon turned them off...

That's a turn ON, if you ask me.

Things could very easily go sour. A bitter end is inevitable.

Pucker up and kiss her ass goodbye.

Some day we'll go more than a page of discussion involving Emi without making a lemon joke. Some day.

Why anyone would be put off by this fact continues to astound me.

I figure a sizable part of the motive behind that is, even if you suck dohohoho, an inexperienced girl would still be unable to realize it immediately.
We males often prefer to accept bodily injuries rather than injured pride.

Very much this. To put it more bluntly: guys who insist on being the first know they're going to be a disappointment otherwise. See also: otaku cries of "used and soiled".

You clever sonofabitch.

That's often part of it, but I can also see the simple joy of sharing the discovery being nice too.

I'd say not that many. If it was only around a month afterwards, if that, that most his friends and schoolmates stopped visiting, it's unlikely that they cared enough to have any dreams of any substance. Either that, or they were incredibly fickle, which is always a possibility. You'd think that there might be at least one person that would at least attempt to show continued interest if anyone had any dreams that were crushable.

Emi: She mentioned she had at least one boyfriend before, right?

Why anyone would be put off by this fact continues to astound me.

Put off? Nah, I was just asking if she actually said that in her route, or if that was something I've read in a fanfic or whatever. It's been a while since I played her route.
Because if that is true, at least one asked her out and had sucess, meaning the question in the beginning doesn't apply to her.

Asside from that. Who says none of them (minus Emi) had a relationship before Hisao? Maybe they were short lived. I don't realy remember who had mentionend if they were engaged before him or not but for the ones who didn't, maybe they were and didn't tell. Would you tell your new girlfriend/boyfriend "Oh yeah, I had X amount of relationships before you."?

Nope. In this case it was Emi who crushed someone's dreams.

Lilly's never had a relationship before. She's had plenty of confessions, but turned them all down.

Hanako spent the last 10 years almost completely isolated. That pretty much rules out a relationship.

Rin doesn't even differentiate between friendships and relationships, but she certainly hasn't had sex before and given her inability to deal with Hisao's confessions it's probably fairly safe to say she's never had a boyfriend either.

It's hard to tell for Shizune, but she certainly doesn't give off the impression of being someone with relationship experience.

Do we actually know that?

So Lilly mentioned this, too? Damn I need to play the actual game again instead of read tons of fanfics, I don't know what is canon anymore. And it's your fault since it was you who mentioned it in your fanfic. xD (Good job btw.)
Okay Hanako is the only one where we can really asume she never was in a relationship.
In Rins case I simply don't know since I didn't play her route yet, but from what you mentioned she could've had one that really didn't last very long and/or she didn't realize as such.
With Shizune I agree, but it's at least believable she had a boyfriend before. Maybe she doesn't come across that way because Hisao is her first "serious" boyfriend.

I should hope none of them were ever engaged before Hisao...It's high school, damn.

Engaged in battle, my sweet Potato. After all, love is a battlefield.

[Potato]

sweet Potato.

Pun intended or no?

No, Risk is a battlefield. Love is more like Minesweeper, a frustrating crapshoot.

I wonder what Iwanako ended up doing during her year...
