Revealing Hisao's Disease

[minkus]

So far, in Act One, Hisao tells approximately half of the girls that he has arrhythmia, depending on which route you take.

Rin finds out no matter what.
Lilly finds out in her path.
Emi finds out in her path.
Shizune finding out will lead to a Manly Picnic.
Hanako has not found out in any route.

In later acts, will Hisao eventually tell everyone no matter which path you take? Is hiding a good option?
In Lilly's path if you don't tell her, it's a bad thing, but telling Shizune (and Misha) is just as bad. How long into the game could it take before he tells anybody?

[Kazuki]

How do you tell Shizune? Do you have to kick her and Misha out of your room?

[Mirage_GSM]

No, just tell her you had fun with the nurse. That option will be available only if you collapsed while running earlier.
Also Shizune will likely suspect what is wrong even if you don't throw her out. She's seen all your meds and she's smart enough to figure out the rest on her own.
Hmm... I wonder why telling Misha you had fun with the nurse and then going on with Emi's path leads to Kenji's end. Pissing off Shizune and Misha shouldn't really affect Emi...

[Csihar]

I'm sure it will be revealed in all the routes sooner or later, at least if you're going for a good end. Hiding something major like that is never good for a blooming relationship, you know.

The first time I played, I wanted to tell Shizune about Hisao's condition. Did not go well.

I tried to lighten a nervous situation by cracking a joke about Hisao's crisis at the track. Did not go well either.

[Mirage_GSM]

I tried not to make Lilly worry too much. .. Guess if it went well...

[NoOne3]

Hiding something major like that is never good for a blooming relationship, you know.

Hiding Hisao's condition should inevitably lead to a special kind of ending available in every path: a "HHHHNNNNGGGGHHHH Ending"

Or had that joke been made before?

[kapparomeo]

I'll be very, very disappointed if Hisao doesn't literally say "HNNNNNNNNGGGH" in at least one scene in the full game. It'd be brilliant fanservice, better than Rin poledancing.

Devs are probably saving the Shizune heart confession for when she relies/takes Hisao for granted one time too many and overexerts him into an arrest or something. Hisao learns a lesson about knowing both his limits and the lengths he has to go in order to make sure he isn't pressured into stressing them - Shizune learns about the damage her competitiveness can cause to others who lack her drive.

As for Hanako, probably just an excuse to have slow, tender lovin' instead of the SM ballgag bonanza she had planned up to that point. Whatever.

That's probably one of the best possible storylines for the Shizune path that I've heard.

Also, when I think S&M, I always thought Misha and Shizune fit that category. Their dominant personalities practically scream it, which kept me wondering through Shizune's path. Hell, that one scene where Misha sneaks up behind Hisao and covers his eyes, I was thinking, "Oh God, here comes the chloroform! I knew it!"

[ContinualNaba]

That's probably one of the best possible storylines for the Shizune path that I've heard.

Nah. The best one's a bad (good?) end that results in people alternatively weeping and grinning over a headstone in a cemetery.
