“Welcome back.”
“DROOOOOOOP KIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!”
*BAM*
That’s what reading this route felt like. I was looking forward to remembering a nice short story and it hit me just a little bit harder than expected.
It was a short but beautiful story, built up on short but beautiful moments that you just gotta love:
- Misae talking about herself in third person, telling Tomoya to give up on her while “Spring Breeze -piano-” is playing in the background
- Yuki&Saki find out that Shima isn’t Shima: “Shima-kun! We’ll always be friends, okay?” dammit, Saki! Even though you’re just a spriteless side character! How dare you say such wonderful things? How dare you be so cool? >_<
- Young Misae finally stating her wish: (Music stops! Such a good direction!) “From now on… please love me, forever and ever.” FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS!
On a side note, Igarashi is a blockhead. Idiot. Imbecile. Insensitive. Sissy.
On a different side note, I have discovered a certain similarity between the Misae and the Kappei route which I will adress… when the time is right.
It’s kinda funny how even though Misae is the dominant type, she always gets caught up in Shima’s pace. On the other hand, she’s pretty strong. When she got rejected and Shima went to console her, it seemed more like she was the one consoling Shima instead. Speaking of that Scene, WHYYYYY is there no kiss CG? >_<
The rejection though, it was kind of a huge moment, wasn’t it? I mean, Misae was trying to console a sad boy and then she has suddenly been both rejected and confessed to at the same time.
So let’s have you guys think about a little something:
The day after getting rejected, Misae skipped school. Do you think she did so only due to the shock of rejection or was it more because she needed to sort out her feelings for Shima?
In the end, it’s probably a mix of both, but I wanna know which you believe to be the bigger reason. Personally, I think it’s the latter. After all, Misae didn’t seem all that sad when she talked to Shima.
