Funny enough, it's Emi's and that 'forgiveness' scene.

There's that compelling chemistry in the relationship between both of them despite one rejecting the other much earlier.
It made me go 'awh'. Others that came close is when the trio student council members made up, and Rin going all 'fuck you' to Nomiya (that made my day)

Most of the good endings made me think 'today's a good day' and gave me a smile. Most of the bad endings made me go 'what have I done'-sorta feel (Shizune's bad ending in particular made me stop playing for a day or two until I get a fix from insurmountable VGs)

One particular girl's route just gave me laughter n chuckle regardless of good or bad ending.

You... laughed, at a bad ending? Are you human even?

Mainly because I expected it to happen. It's that 'I knew it' feeling and the 'I expect something like this as much'-kinda feel that It doesn't leave that much...crushing impact compare to the rest of the girls; it feels tame.

I teared up during Emi's path and Hanako's path. I was honestly expecting more of a reaction to Hanako's path but I suppose I couldn't fully relate to her and the path felt shorter. I still enjoyed it, just doesn't come close to the experience that I had with Lilly.

Lilly's good ending was by far my favourite ending too. I didn't cry or anything, but man, the good feeling I got from it was intense. Such a good route.

I guess I didn't really "cry" at any of the scenes in KS, but I definitely got the feels with a lot of them. Apart from Lilly's good ending, Emi's good ending, particularly the very last scene, gave me a really happy feeling (obviously except for the scene in the graveyard. That hurt.). It was fantastic too.

Okay. Okay. At least you're not evil then. I can accept that. But I'm keeping an eye on you, just in case...

I honestly found that the graveyard scene, as sad as it was, was also a really touching moment too. Having your guard up all the time hurts. This sweet, tough little girl finally allows herself to open up and let the pain out with somebody she can trust, and the two are finally getting closer because of it. I could almost feel the hug there. And maybe it's weird, but I feel like the warm tears would have been kind of comforting when they dripped down onto my shirt. I saw it less as a bad painful thing and more of a relief painful thing, so to me, the tears were representative of something dark being released, and being a part of that would be really nice.

And then of course there's the scene after, which is probably one of the most genuine, innocent depictions of love-making I've seen in a piece of media. Not that I've really seen a ton, but still, it seemed heartfelt instead of just being a hormone-induced poundfest.

THIS. Now more or less one of my favourite parts of the entire VN, where Emi finally gives up her resistance that she clearly never wanted to have. It's beautiful.
I think of the 5 routes, Emi and Hisao's relationship is the most likely to go the distance, although Lilly's and Hanako's do have a moderate chance. I just think the connection that the two of them have is the strongest, and they've had to overcome a lot of difficult situations on both sides.

They're going the distance; they're going for speed.

Yep, that's exactly how I feel about it too. Emi and Hisao have by far the strongest relationship out of any of the outcomes, at least in my opinion.

I thought it was because she's so dreamy~

And thank you for picking that one up, bhtooefr. I was afraid that reference would be lost to mild obscurity forever.

Emis bad route. Especially as you can see how loving she is on the good route. Number one I was screaming at the screen saying how stupid hisao is and two the fact that emi takes it as a joke and then acts serious for all of two seconds to shrug then run away like everything else in her life. I was really crying (not as bad as wailing but my eyes were swimming) and all the time thinking, wow what an amazing freaking game.I had to take a time out and compose myself after and as soon as I carried on for the last minute I was off again and I couldn't finish it. I'd not cried at e.t, old yellar, bambi or even Marley and me, but this little game had finally beaten me.

Yeah, it'll do that to you. Even though it's pretty full on emotionally, I still think that her good route made me "cry" more than her bad route. Her bad route kind of just made me go "damn it, made the wrong decision" more than it upset me (not to say that it didn't, because it still did).

Huh. I was more preoccupied with how stupid Emi was in that end. It seems to be a running theme that everyone's on Hisao's case for the stupid shit he does but the girls can be just as dense without any accountability.

And there's a reason you didn't cry at E.T. or Bambi or Old Yeller: None of them are remotely sad.
