Emi's past *Spoilers*

I just wanted to say to the writers of this game, I played Emi's playthrough a few days ago, and wow.

The way you handled the loss of a loved one was amazing. I lost my dad mid last year, and found myself crying along to almost all of Emi's path. I ended up spending the next two days in a depressive funk, not speaking to many people and eating little. It really made me think. What I need in my life is someone like Hisao, although preferably someone a little sharper (And understands that my dad is dead instead of yelling what was wrong all the time). Someone I can take on a visit to my father's grave with me. The way Emi acted met me on so many levels that I got very attached to her amazing personality that you have created in this game.

Your storytelling ability makes me wonder if one of the writers had something similar happen to them at some point, and there is no way I am going to pry on that, if this game has taught me anything. :lol:

I just wanted to thank you personally, from the bottom of my heart, how much this game made me feel, emotionally. Well done.

True shit. Every fight or tough decision feels likes real-life tough decision. I keep getting flashbacks to my present and old relationships and how I wished I pushed on with the right thing to say, the right words. But life isn't a VN, is it?

Brought to tears, more realistic than any other VN I've ever played.

Exactly what happened to me i guess.

Except in my case, my dads health had been deteriorating for a long time because he had MS. It wasnt that much of a shock, i guess, but we were all very very depressed for probably most of the last year. Ended up with me snapping 3 days later in school when someone i barley know asked me how i was doing and I snapped back that i was doing as well as i could, considering my dad died just a few days ago at the time.
