>>2194210One thing that really doesn't help working it out is that in the absence of the girls route the other girls just up and disapear from the game...
Koamri went through it before her grandfather said, the family just deals with her.
haruka experienced the same thing in the real world pre-riki and made it to the bus, mio deals with the inability to identify her self pre-bus too. While he becomes the one to solve the issue, in most scenarios he becomes the catalyst to push the problems to where they need to be to confront them.
Like you and i said though this is so hard to gauge becuase of the girls basically not existing outside their routes bar a few exceptions.
