>I find it unlikely for you...to say such a thing. >I had an impression that you were more of a realist. Really? But I don't think it's ironic for a realist to feel that optimism is important. The world isn't filled with nice things. I too have some dirt on me. But that's why I want to protect what's pure. I feel the need to protect it.
00:39
oh this is interesting
00:39
she actually calls him on it
00:39
>You have dirt on you?! I'm shocked! Don't think that I'm so pure. I'm not a beautiful little doll... It can actually be painful if you look at me with such praise, as I'm pressured.
00:39
>What do you think of Ovan? ...I don't know. I guess that's something I'm trying to sort out. But there's one thing. I saw hope in Ovan... But I wasn't able to become his hope. That's for certain.
00:39
Yeah this is all basically confirming everything I've said about Shino

>I know you like plants. What other hobbies? Hmm...probably aromatherapy. I'm into bathing in mint lately. It works if you want to lose weight.
00:41
She's also trying to figure out what to do about graduating college, as missing a semester due to COMA is probably not great
00:42
>Do you still live in Saitama? Yes. I've been evicted from my apartment, but my family is in Saitama. My parents tell me to attend college from home. I guess it's natural for them to say that, as I was in a coma for half a year.
00:42
Shino has a lot of her own problems to deal with
00:43
one last one
>Ovan was my goal in the Brigade. >Nothing can change that. >I don't want to betray my feelings >of trusting in him. That's true... He continuously fought for those who needed to be saved. He just wasn't able to believe in others. He relied heavily on being alone, and perhaps he had too much power... >Why did you join the Twilight Brigade? I thought I'd be able to find my place there. As long as Ovan was with me. ...Just like you, I think. I relied heavily on his leadership and his existence. So when you called on me, it felt a bit weird. I think you thought that Ovan and I were on opposite ends.
00:43
okay I said one last one but
00:45
in response to the "Who do you like" card
I think I liked Ovan. But now, I like you, Haseo. Do you think that's okay? >That's fine, as long as that's the way you feel. Thank you for understanding me the way I am. Hey... How did you feel? About Ovan, I mean. > I probably... Liked Ovan too. > I respected him. > That's why I can understand how you feel. I see... I can understand how you feel too. He was big, strong and warm... And he was always sad... I'm frustrated that I couldn't even be a support to his hopes... Haseo, I'm just happy that I share these feelings with you.

>How old is Zelkova? His usual way of acting childish, I believe, may only be role playing... This is only my impression. But I do feel that Zelkova is very young in real life. He seems to be really young, as if he's a genuine child.

I just couldn't justify doing her as well. As you notice this already ran very long

It's actually pretty straight forward to get a character from 0 to max affection at endgame (edited)
01:13
but like, doing all of them does add up
01:14
and this was a long enough update as it was

in any event. We have finished the main trilogy, at last. Next time, we will, together, plunge into the unknown. And see what the future has in store for us, in .HACK//GU VOL. 4//RECONNECTION

I do not believe so. For one thing, I've married all these character without a reset. I also know that vol 4 basically has no optional content, it is just main story

also for the record you can in fact marry Orca and Balmung, but it plays out basically identically to marrying Kite, so I just did that

19:41
up until this point, while my memories of the game were extremely foggy, I more or less knew the quality of what we were getting into
19:41
I had a pretty good sense of like, when the plot was gonna get real, and just the overall quality of the product, for better and for worse

from this point onward, I'm as blind as the rest of you, and can't really vouch for how good or bad any of this is gonna be
