Lilly got me when she feels Hisao's face for the first time.
Shizune got me at the bondage scene.
I don't think any other caracther got me so deeply than those three.
Well in terms of being DEEP into me Lilly touching my face was pretty damn touching. Akira's and Misha's moments I already posted made me really like them, but Lilly's action made me feel genuinely... touched. Pun intended, punt at me all you want.

It was my love for books and chess that brought us together at first, yet I knew that there was something about her I couldn't run away from at the first moment I saw her. But you could also say I fell in love with her at the end, at the hugging/crying scene, baring scene and handphone strap scene. Those ate into me so deep, I felt as if I was gonna die from lack of lung tissue.
My experience playing Hanako's good arc was so natural, it felt like a complete story, an uninterruptable process. It was the only arc where I would gladly swap Hisao's name for mine beause every action Hisao took was in complete sync with my thoughts. Well except one scene. In other arcs I often had to "leave my comfort zone" to select a choice that wasn't me. That's why I can't tell when I fell in love with Hanako. It's frustrating yet relieving to know that I share such a deep bond with her that I can't even analyze it on a timeline.
And to continue my post, I fell in love with Emi when I(not Hisao) learned about how she lost her legs and father. Rin's was whenshe first brought Hisao to the worry tree and when she fled the exhibition. Lilly's was during the I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.
Emi:I liked her when she started pouting, i found that cute, though I never really liked her...
Rin: The moment she started talking and when she fell asleep on Hisao during the fireworks.
Lilly: Every time she puffs out her cheek, and the moment in the wheat fields.
Hanako: The moment I laid eyes on her.
Shizune: The stare she gave you at the shanghai.
Misha: when she Burst into the room with the elegance of a rhinoceros.
Jigoro: When he started flaming Everyone.
Kenji: "I'm wearing a hat now..."
Yuuko: Those moments Her childishness that contradicts her wisdom in various parts of the game
Akira: When I found out she had a taste for jazz... and Aishi.
Miki: The moment she conversed with Hisao.
Mutou: The moment I realized that every science professor was like he.
The Store Owner at Othello's Antiques: The fact that I saw a man just like him was interesting.... Every detail... Down to the wrinkles.... the clothes... those judging eyes...
Good joke... Everybody laugh... Roll on snare drum... Curtains...
Huh, after meeting oddballs like Shizune and Misha, I kinda appreciate the quietness that Lilly displayed. It's more of a 'relaxed' state that gravitates me towards her. Probably more of the protagonist constant whining, too. I figured he should go for the motherly type. He won't live long under Shizune and Emi. Rin is just rin. I can't follow her and despise those sorts in real life.
Emi: After the heart attack on the track field.
Rin: Clouds in Your Head
Misha: The scene on the roof before Tanabata.
No particular event comes to mind for Hanako and Lilly.
Shizune: Hasn't happened yet.
Lilly: When I first read of how Hisao described being around her. It got put over the top in the wheat field.
Hanako: Because she's very shy and timid, makes me wanna stick out my hand and help her up.
Nurse: All the times he's teasing Emi, as well as Hisao. He's just awesome.
Akira: I guess it has to be when Lilly and Hanako are celebrating the latter's birthday and she just bursts in and gives wine as a gift.
Jigoro: Laughing out Loud at his lines. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE!
Emi: I guess I'll have to re-read her arc again, but I guess it's around the time when Kenji should've seen the scheme unfolding! I actually felt grateful for her for doing that.
Yuuko: Her general nervousness and how she deals with it. Makes me smile.
Kenji: Everything he says. EVERYTHING.
Mutou: I actually began to like him as a reasonable teacher, even if he has his quirks. Which reminds me of an old school I went to.
Rin: Whenever she goes on tangents. For some reason, I kind of like that.
Meiko Ibarazaki: I think that's her name. Most people call her Emi's mom. Anyway, I guess it's her figure. Or her teasing.
Meh, I just liked how the location sounded in my mind. I'm not really into sailing myself.
Shizune:First festival, with her stretching her arms out with the starry background. Goddamn I swear my heart stopped for a few seconds there
Hanako:Her last scene or what I call her breaking-out-of-shell-moment when she gave Hisao a gift he will never forget for a very long time. I'll drop dead any second from then if I'm in Hisao's shoe. But since I ain't, I just clapped my hand away.
Lilly: prob. the hardest to point since her route feels so much like a soap opera and I end up jerking my hair half the time (don't kill me). But if I were to point one particular scene, it will be Lilly's return to Hisao with Chekov's music box. That gets me all teary.
Rin:Like Hanako, her last scene make me come to like her. The flying dandelions, her newly resolved persona, and the air around it is mesmerizing
Emi: I kinda' find it hard to like her. One scene that stood out though, is thetrack field, second chance ending. It effectively turned my perception of her by 180' from the initial 'little nymph in heat'
Kenji: This anti-feminist borderline-hiki cracks me up every single time. Most epic, however, is when he took off his glasses. I actually had some respect for that guy for a very-very short moment until he puts them back on and I see him back as the loony bin he is.
Jigoro: Funny I should mention him. Most likely it's because his rants sometimes remind me of Kenji
Akira: Reverse-trap. Need I say more?
They say they hate Shizune? What is this? BLASPHEMY!
SHII-HAEL! Shizune>Rin>Emi>Hanako>Lilly "A writer is a light that reveals the world of his story from darkness. Shapes it from nothingness. If the writer stops, the world dies with it." - Alan Wake
Yes, I write stories. Currently working on: The Haunting: A Love Story
Emi: When Hisao first raced against her at the track. Possibly when he raced against her the second time, and she wouldn't let him give up. I instantly fell in love with her and she hasn't disappointed.
Lilly: To a lesser extent, I liked her in Act 1, but can't really guage how much or when. I realised how awesome she was when she was taking care of Hanako at some point in Act 2 though.
Shizune: This is really sad, but the first time I think that I really felt for her was the final picture of her bad ending. It was the first time I really felt connected to her and emphasised with her. And oh God, it broke my heart in two Q_Q
Routes played: Emi (10/10), Shizune (6/10), Lilly (9/10), Hanako (9/10), Rin (7.5/10)
Emi > Hanako = Lilly > Rin > Shizune

You can't have her she's mine
You're both out of luck. Rin truly belongs only to me herself. Can't hold down a free spirit!
Regarding the topic, Rin is my favourite, of course; she immediately reeled me in with her charisma and wit. I mean, she asked me whether or not it was alright for her to continue her lunch in my presence. As if there were anything I could/would do to stop her. She then continues with, "There's something wrong with your tackle, isn't there?"
To quote that frivolous Hanako song, "BEST. GIRL. IN. THE. GAME."
"So artists can't find romance, their favorite TV shows are canceled, or they die young because of an unspecified disease. It's a deep and mysterious law of the universe." - Rin
Shizune: The "Find your way back from here" test after tea at the Shanghai On the roof top standing before you during the fireworks challenging you to defy your misery During her ACT 2 into movie, the Profile shot of her as the wind blows her hair around Seeing her in a Yukata during the Tanabata Festival
Lilly: When she touches your face the first time In the Wheat field
Hanako: Cute Girl + Jazz Bar + Pool Table.. Need I say more
Emi: Taking the initiative to come up with an exercise and dietary plan for you.. and making sure you stick to it At the Track Meet, while she's at her Emiest
Rin: Laying on the floor in the art studio, looking up at the stars through the skylight, sharing cigarettes
