I’ll leave the good parts of Rin2 for another time and mostly focus on the second part of the route. This might be a rare chance for me to make a Kanon-style rant (hope I won’t get sued for copyright infringement here) 
Welcome to Rin2, where everyone is a fucking idiot. (Except for Masato.)
First of all, why did Riki let Rin go? So that she can grow up and learn to love.
How did Riki explain it to her? “You just have to go. And you’re stupid.” And then he bitched about how she didn’t understand him! How about you give her a damn reason for leaving behind EVERYTHING SHE EVER HAD, if only temporarily? Bruh…
So then AMAZING stuff happens but I’ll talk about that sometime later.
Riki and Rin just run away. It’s a harsh trial, but surely, their love will pull them through… oh wait, they don’t have that. So, in a crisis like this, cooperation is essential. Thus, the labor is divided equally: Riki goes out to procure food while Rin just sits around doing nothing. Wait, what?
Just so we’re clear, playing with cats all day is a fucking shitty survival strategy - cause you sure as hell don’t look like you wanna eat them.
But no matter how hard it gets, Riki keeps stacking up those man points. He never complains, never tells her to help cause teamwork can go suck it. But then the police comes knocking on their door.
And THIS is the part that completely FUCKS ME UP. This is some Brutus-level backstabbing right there. How the hell could this brat be so ungrateful? He gave up Kyousuke for you! He gave up the Little Busters! That was literally worse than death for him! No lack of love could possibly explain her literally biting the hand that feeds her. But because muh random cats are more important, it’s game over.
People be wonderin’, “How could you possibly dislike Rin?” THIS is why!
Kyousuke’s at fault too. You fucked up big time, brah. You thought just cause she can talk like a normal person now, she’s ready to depart for despair island? You shoulda installed some brakes on your Plan train, cause the signs were clearly there.
Like, open your damn eyes, man. She was completely destroyed within just a week. And more importantly, her mental age is still on the clock! Which brings us to:
Rin - adorable little sister character
What’s “love”? Is that a TV show? Can you eat that? What kind of wood do I need to build a relation-ship? Hell if I know. Guess I’ll ask the cats.
Anyway, Rin completely fails as a heroine. Romance doesn’t work if you can’t love. She’s clinging to Riki, but not helping much, then ditching him without a second thought because cats.
So, Riki, my boy man. Just let her be a little sister character. She’s quirky and cute and super fun as long as it’s just fun and games. Let her play with the cats in a corner. But don’t ruin your own life over this kid. If Kyousuke thinks he’s so fucking smart, let him take care of his own damn mess. Surely, he’s got a plan for that…
Don’t get me wrong, fam. I absolutely LOVE this route. I also love the mistakes (almost) everyone’s making. I just skipped all the good parts the deliciously good side of things to make a clean rant. Everything about this route was pure awesomeness… except for Rin. Not saying she’s pure evil or the only one at fault and I didn’t miss that she did try helping in her own way. But overall, I simply find what she did in the end nigh unforgivable.
