#decision point

Shizuku Osaka looks around her. There are people, none dressed in modern fashion, giving her looks as they walk past. As best she can tell, the scene is that of a market, perhaps at some point in the 1700s, though japan certainly wasn't open to western culture enough for this mixed style of dress at that point in the real world. She almost feels like an extra in a strange play, or perhaps she's dreaming.

Adding to the anachronism, Shizuku notices a figure walking purposefully towards her from across the market. They're dressed in what one would usually describe as wizard robes, and a hood obscures their face. Their pace is worrying, very much so, and Shizuku feels as though she must do something about the matter.

Yes, it’s going to happen around the end of book 1 :) It will be a very obvious choice, so you won’t be able to miss it. You will get an option to visit an RO and when you are there, you will have another last chance to change your mind and choose someone else if you want. After that, you will be locked in the route.

I will indicate it in the text that that option will be the one locking you in the romance (or non-romance) route, so until then you don’t have to worry about it :D

IS THIS THE SHIT IM GONNA REGRET

This isn’t even a decision point who programmed this game.

Thank god I don’t have to decide yes or no.

“Being a big hit” is out for me. Rin-chan doesn’t care about notoriety and she’s also afraid of changing. She’d become (read: change into) a big hit. No way.

“Because it would be exciting” is a really positive answer. That said Rin-chan isn’t much for excitement. And Exciting is the heads side of the coin. Anxiety is the tails. Rin-chan is afraid, we don’t need her to be afraid.

So instead we’ll choose the lie. I think it is exactly like Rin-chan to hesitate like this. But its a good lie. Rin-chan’s crisis is about her identity. Hicchan asserts she doesn’t hesitate. We remind her about her deciding to paint a whole mural for the festival. If Rin-chan is the kind of person who doesn’t hesitate, than the gallery is the right answer for her.
