Final CGs all have one thing in common except Rin's

Spoilers, obviously. Not really going to bother with the tag when the thread title is about the end of the game.

In all of the good end final CGs, you can't tell the girls are disabled -- their disabilities aren't visible. You can't see Emi's legs nor Lilly's eyes, Shizune's mouth is wide open as if to speak, and Hanako is standing, coincidentally(?) so that you can't see her scars at all. Except Rin. Her tied sleeves are extended proudly. I wonder if this unique image could be symbolic. What does this have to say about Rin and her story?

Well, all the girls cry at some point except Shizune. What's that mean?

Shizune is an emotionless robot?

How could she cry when she's deaf?

I think you mean "mute".

She's deaf and mute. Her deafness wouldn't inhibit her from crying, but her muteness would. She can still tear up I'm sure, but it wouldn't be the same vocalized crying as a normal person.

Lol, I'm pretty sure he was joking. Like the whole "Why does she need glasses if she's deaf?" thing from that one fancomic thing.

Or the better question:

How can she hear when she's mute? :D

When I saw the thread title, I immediately thought, "arms."

This made me laugh way too hard.

OT: Good observational skills, but I don't think there's symbolism behind everything.
And I expect to be proven wrong, when the Rin CG, combined with the backside of the declaration of independence, leads to the holy grail.

And thus it is all part of a tribute to Fate/Stay Night via the Holy Grail Wars.

In all of the girls' routes, you can tell they are disabled. Except Rin. (Unless you look at dem sleeves.) She completely disassociated herself with the word "disabled," to the point where it has no relevance in her story at all. Thus, it can only be role reversal, so to speak; they're finally acknowledging at the end that, "By the way, y'know Rin? Yeah, she doesn't have much in the way of arms. Oh yeah, and other girls? They'll be fine."

Now, don't get me wrong, I don't think this was an intentional allusion from the developers at all. Just something I noticed.
