Also a question because I might have understood it wrong when you explained it, but is there a diference between like having a character in the botton to having it on low in the sense thing? Or are they basically the same thing when you are deciding if you trust a character?

I'm assuming that there'll be more complicated situations later where we have to judge the trustworthiness of a bunch of people relative to each other and we'll want finer control over that.

E: Holy poo poo that was a lot of posts all of a sudden, beaten. Not voting because I'm an indecisive motherfucker.

Speculation: The dead kid is Yuuri, and she's actually a radiation ghost. That's why she doesn't like AD, because it makes her exist less. What? :v:

No but seriously I'm speculating she and the dead kid have something to do with each other.

I'm still trying to figure out what word could end in -ro and also end a sentence.

It's a bit at odds with the tone of the letter, but "hero"? Otherwise I imagine it was a Japanese word ending in -ro left as a transliteration because the translators couldn't tell what it was meant to be either. :v:

We need to find the Lieutenant too. She may or may not have the CRAZY that the other have got.

On the admittedly shaky assumption that Ena is, in fact, dead, Kazami probably is too, and whichever of Jun and Ukita didn't get the gun. Then again, that's too obvious, and this is getting climactic enough that poo poo will be seriously different very few updates from now.

Well that sure is a chapter title. Speculation: Natsuhiko is hosed up in LABO right now and dreaming of how he got there while unconscious (perhaps to practice his BC for use on Watase?).

The other option is that there are two Yuuris. The one that died in LABO 8 years ago and the one that's currently running around in Watase's story. Or maybe... they're the same Yuuri and she never died to begin with, it's just that no one knows she's still alive aside from the higher ups in LABO. We know that Natsuhiko's mom isn't exactly the most trustworthy of people.

There were two Yuuris in the intro, and I don't remember the one in After wearing the little hat she does here. It's also way less plausible that she was a hallucination in After, at least before the fuckery with her corpse. I believe you're on to something.

Now I'm thinking Natsuhiko will figure this out before the route's end, since he spends After directing Watase to look after Yuuri.

I'm not decisive enough to vote like this, but I find it amusing that the consensus seems to be that the writers made a sympathetic main character, then gave us bad ends for sympathising with him over other characters. That could have gone better.

I don't believe it ever comes up, but I'm about 80% sure that there's a way to read that password as something approaching "Tenkawa Natsuhiko".

10 - ten (from English)
7 - na (from "nana")
2 - tsu (from English)
1 - hi (from "hitotsu")
5 - ko (from "go")

How does Natsuhiko remember Yuuri being at home the last couple days when she hasn't had a chance to edit herself in, also how did she see herself in his memory when she hasn't edited herself in

I get the impression that Natsuhiko is also hallucinating her independently, but Yuuri inspired it and cleans up inconsistencies for him.

You seem to be rather passionately defending groups that everyone else in the thread seemingly agrees are bad, while, as I recall, also being the only one of us that's played the game past this point. :raise:

Do you know something about them that we don't that's colouring your opinion, and if so don't you think you should then be keeping it to your self?

...I feel like that shouldn't have worked. The whole way malice has been shown to work is N rewriting memories so that the malice-havers hear more antagonistic things from others than were actually said to them (or more generally just hearing what N wants them to remember hearing), but Kazami was allowed to hear that message in full, think about it, then act on it?

There has to be an epilogue, right? They wouldn't just let it end with "oh, huh, I was lied to. Welp, here's to the future of connecting hearts and minds or whatever.", right?

TheMcD posted:

...now, of course, you already figured that couldn't quite be it. Well, one thing I didn't see anybody point out is that we spent all that time in Route After and Route Before chasing down those friendship scenes, and it was explicitly pointed out they were for getting extra scenes in the epilogue. I don't feel like we've seen much of that yet.
