Thank you.

I will have to take a short trip there soon, seeing as I'm like... two miles from there at most.

Lilly's book

Post by Atario »

This legally-blind guy and I were having a discussion about Braille in the game and got to talking about Lilly's book in the scene "Unidentified Drinking Object", which is stated to be Christie's Death On The Nile. Well, he ended up transcribing the Braille text in the image, and some light googling reveals that the story is in fact H. P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu.

Lilly's into some weird stuff!

Here's his subsequent post about it.

I don't remember any braille at all in the game...there are so many details in things that seem to slip my mind, jeez.

There's a scene where Hisao visits Lilly's room and takes a look at the stack of books in there. He tries to read it and the game shows a CG of one of the braille pages (not every CG in KS appears in the gallery) and Lilly mentions that if he can overcome two language barriers (the books are in English AND Braille), she'd be impressed. Hisao quickly gives up. Anyway, it appears someone took the time to actually decipher that closeup.

Emi, I think.

Hanako's shown to get jealous, sure, but I actually think that Hanako might not be capable of sustaining any sort of yandere attitude. She's basically too good of a person, and even her misanthropy is rooted in fear of people, not wanting to attack people. She only attacks when she's literally backed into a corner and most of her buttons pushed, and then it's purely verbal.

Yandere Lilly also doesn't seem likely to me, but who knows, Lilly's a good actress, she might be hiding a yandere side somewhere.

Rin... I can't see that at all.

Shizune attacks internally, not externally, in situations like this. If she were convinced that she were 100% in the right, she'd attack externally, and then be yandere, but she's internalized a lot of Jigoro's abuse, and therefore assumes that it's her fault. We know this from her bad end.

Emi, though? Emi's the kind of girl who will stab you, then twist the knife, all while having her sexface/angry grin, for even a fairly small perceived slight.

Shizunes bad end is actually the saddest of them all, with the exception of Rin's neutral.

On the Yandere thing though, Emi would be the kind of girl to attack anyone who goes for Hisao to be honest, I mean, he's that one guy shes opened up to, she wouldnt ever give him away.

There's a reason she's referred to as "the prettiest pitbull in all creation" in brythain's AtD. :D
I like all the girls in KS, but empathize with Hanako the most.

Haha! I went back to look it up. It's 'the most beautiful pitbull in all creation', and that's how Akira thinks of her. After she thinks it twice, she mentally fines herself 100 yen each time she thinks it again. By the end of the vignette here, Akira has fined herself 500 yen. So I guess that makes seven times! :D

Wait, hold on, yes, you're right too… elsewhere, both Akira and Hideaki think of her as 'the prettiest pitbull in all creation'. Oops! :D
