Akira for, Lilly against. The former likes the idea of independence against the odds; the latter is all for a stable relationship when two parties are geographically united.

I also expect that Hiroyuki is a 'no' vote, assuming he has Scottish citizenship and can vote. Sorch...I mean Karla (ugh) would also be against it, as despite her Scottish pride I also see her as practical, something of a traditionalist and someone who prefers not to make waves.

Update: At this point in time, Highland council area (Inverness is the Highlands capital) results are projected at 53-47 in favour of 'no'. Lilly is smirking gently, Akira is drinking and looking resigned.

Heh. I can totally see that.

Don't make jokes at Lils's expense!

And the rest of it is there too!

How has everyone been?! I've been stuck to the KS reddit lately. Forgetting to log onto the fourms lol

Are these the names of Lilly's parents? Is this canon or you made it up?

Hiroyuki is the name the devs brought up as the name of Lilly's dad. Karla is the name a handful of pictures from Lilly's mother is categorized under on the Shimmie.

It's not canon, but developer statements mean it's the closest thing we have to canon.

In any case, there's also business considerations.

Satou likely takes advantage of the Common Travel Area, which may not have survived Scottish independence if England was feeling really spiteful (although my prediction was that had that happened, Scotland would've immediately joined the Schengen Agreement, and then the rest of the CTA would've had more pressure to do so as well).

In addition, Satou likely has huge benefits from being within the EU, which would have been lost for a while had Scotland left the UK.

I think Hiroyuki would have been an idiot to vote anything other than no, even if Scotland would have been better off voting yes, for what it's worth.

Not exactly KS related, but just thought i'd let you all know that planetarium is now and steam.
Go get those free feels yo.

I believe this is the first election results thread I've teared up at.

Why is Rin's disability never explained? Lilly and Shizune were probably born with their disabilites, and we get to know about Emi's and Hanako's accidents, why is it never explained how Rin lost her hands? Are people born without limbs like that? Because i find it hard to imagine an accident in which a person would lose both of their hands like that, with nothing happenning to their torso or head. What do you think?

Isn't she a thalidomide baby?
Like, her arms were both deformed at birth due to her mother taking thalidomide to help with morning sickness, (which yeilded the now well-known results) and the doctors decided to just amputate them because they were going to be useless either way

also because the H-scenes would be rather unsettling wih a pair of little thalidomide arms flailing about

It is explained, its a birth defect.

Is it really? I have got 100% and I somehow don't remember it being mentioned. Might be just me somehow not noticing it though, but could you tell the scene in which it's said?

It's in her profile on the website.

Oh I see, thanks :3

I wonder if RAITA just didn't know thalidomide had been stopped for pregnant women since the early-to-mid 1960s, or was just using it as a shorthand?
