Notes about Symphonic Rain.

What kind of name is Phorni, and what is she supposed to be? A sprite? A fairy?

It makes me think of HEY, LISTEN. HEY, LISTEN.

Also, rain is sad. Always. And snow means death. Always

The City of Rain. oh boy

Also the backgrounds. Are really pretty.



City of Music.

Oh. Symphonic. Rain. Ho ho ho

Phorni, Torta (Tortinita) and Ari(etta)?

This Cordell teacher is pretty amusing.

Oh okay, I kind of get it. Fortell. A somewhat play on words, no pun intended. fortepiano is a piano. So it's almost like a magical piano.

What are with these names.

Torta is pretty cute. damn those childhood friends.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/zp04K.png[/img]

and yes, again, the backgrounds are really pretty.

AHA. I fucking knew it. This voice sounded familiar as fuck. It's Rena and Nagisa , aka Mai Nakahara

EDIT:

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/9Qxkd.png[/IMG]

Homolust route? Homolust route.

On a side note

Falsita Fawcett. Interesting character I guess. Voice doesn't sound familiar.
Masumi Asano

And Lise. The token quiet shy girl. Okay.

Torta is really cute

>dilettante

what the fuck is this vocabulary in my VN. jesus christ I actually had to look this up.
That, and I just read ameliorate

It's like some fucking SAT level shit in here

[img]http://i.imgur.com/7kD2k.png[/img]

visage. more fancy words. what's wrong with just saying the face


[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/SKVJz.png[/IMG]

There's supposed to be some serious drama in here, plus something "that gave someone proverbial whiplash at the change of pace/setting" or something, but I really can't see where and what kind of twist that would come from. This entire VN just seems kind of "moe" and cute.

Though the little music games are fun.

So Falsita kind of reminds me of Tomoyo from Clannad. Long silver hair, green eyes, seems to be good at everything, modest, and ex student council or something.

released in 2004..

oh, I guess clannad was also done in 2004 as well.

and... they were released around the same time..

oh that's interesting.. that means that Mai Nakahara was voicing the lines for both rolls at probably around the same time then.

AGAIN WITH THE BIG WORDS. RECOMPENSE. ww

miffed. okay that's not a big word, at least it's one that I recognize, but come on what's wrong with irritated

jovially

everyone should play Symphonic Rain, it's an exercise in english language

coerced. somber. seriously, these aren't difficult words, just that it feels like this VN's writing is actually like, genuinely good writing

"her retreating figure gave off a solitary impression"

the translations and writing make this sound rather distinguished

"suggestive formulation"

diligent disposition

"a genial ambiance"

[img]http://i.imgur.com/Nqubi.png[/img]

THIS IS ME IN HIGH SCHOOL. PRETENDING TO BE THE GOOD KID, SKIPPING OUT ON ALL THE TROUBLE AUGH YEA

Fal is a manipulative bitch, discuss.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/f3AhH.png[/img]



More of the same. Seriously. Fal really knows what she wants, hahaha

[img]http://i.imgur.com/RFdnc.png[/img]

Casseruola - name of the food prepared in the pan. Okay, that must be the word for casserole then.

I almost feel kind of bad for Arietta. Almost.


Natale. Oh. Christmas in Italian. Right.

>Ah, but I was the one who forcefully elicited it.

elicited

christ, Fal speaks like a book.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/eGou8.png[/img]

this girl. damn it this girl. pushing all the right buttons

Okay, so I'm kind of expecting some kind of crazy twist with Phorni. Possibly.

Since a review mentioned that the game gave him proverbial whiplash.

apathy, monotony,

[quote]The more I learned about her, the more miserable I began to feel.

And...

I began to feel other things.
To put it in a good way, interest.
To put it in a bad way, affection.

I wasn't supposed to be doing anything besides practice, and yet here I was, engaged in unrelated activities.

-----

To not let myself get swept away by my emotions;
to not corrupy the relationship we had going

I feigned indifference, and pretend to be delighted

But in truth, I *was* delighted

[/quote]

Oh man. Drama. Shit man, that's going to be some relationship drama up in here.

TYPEMANIA

[img]http://i.imgur.com/UjgoV.png[/img]

back to symphonic rain

"Quite calculative of you."

Chris calling Fal out on her manipulation and just-as-planned

augh yeah

Oh shit! Oh shit! It's Torta!!

brace for incoming drama.

>The size of the queue in front of the entrance was so long...etc

Oh, okay I see where we got all the big words. British means automatically proper with the English language. Clearly

"shrouded in an eerie silence"

"When I averted my eyes"

"taking care not to draw attention amidst the tranquil atmospehere"

"people would pray to reaffirm the physicality of their existence"

>beautility

???? what's wrong with beautiful

RECTILINEAR. COME ON. INSERTING BIG WORDS

Hmm.. Fal is being awfully quiet... I wonder if there's something wrong?

comprehensively

:|

"After trotting for a few minutes"

OH COME ON PEOPLE DO NOT TROT.

oh wow, she got the keys to the main performance hall

"nimbly hoisted"

"although, naturally, this was just my personal conjecture"

seriously, though I love reading this kind of writing, it really brings up questions about the original text.

Hmmm, Arietta's letter hints at something.. it almost pains my heart a little.

"I am alluding to this Falsita person"

Huh.

I have this uneasy feeling about Phorni...

hindrance

interrogative conversations

pensive expression

And something's funny with Asino as well..

"her voice sounded more bewitching than ever"

"I thought that rehearsing any more today might end up having an averse effect"

I don't know if I would have used averse here. "Adverse" might have been more accurate, though in the case of conveying the feeling of "the opposite effect" averse would indeed be more accurate.

I'M TELLING YOU MAN THIS VN IS HIGHBROW ENGLISH IN HERE

energetic demeanor

84k new high augh yea

brazen attitude

elapse (instead of just using passing/passed :|)

self-deprecating

endeavors
exerting oneself
stoically eating

STOIC. REALLY.


parting.

emotions into a song. Fortell is a magical instrument that is partly played via emotions.

Sorrow.

Waitaminute. I have to really wonder. What exactly is Phorni....

[spoiler=Arietta][img]http://i.imgur.com/zlVLk.png[/img]
Yeah. I had a feeling that this was going to happen. I mean, you're on the Fal route, so of course you're going to break it off with Ari.

But at the same time.[/spoiler]

This isn't a very pleasant feeling.

"But one day - perhaps far, far into the future - I will read it."

"Provided that enough time has passed for me not to cry as I do."

;_;

confused and disconcerted.

yeah sounds about right.

"That's not what I was insinutating"

[spoiler=Fal]An orphan, eh? I figured it might have been something like that. The whole being cheap about things, working hard and being that sort of honor student, completely typical.

[/spoiler]

condemnation, nonchalance,

AWKWARD. Asino with Fal, Chris with Torta

>Fal looked at me with sultry eyes, and made no attempt to avert them even after I noticed.

HAHAHA OH WOW

"I know it hasn't been accurately elucidated yet"

I am going to be forever irritated by these words.

>There was no such thing as an ideal route - there were only several good ones

SURE IS LAMPSHADE HANGING

EDIT:

Okay there are constant alllusions to [spoiler=Phorni]disappearing

[quote]You sure can sleep long.
And you sure look happy.
But that's great. You finally found someone who will be by your side.
Now I won't have to worry when I-[/quote][/spoiler]

Hmmmmmmmmmm.....

.. was that a kiss...?

how cute.

but at the same time.. why did it seem kind of sad...

the key to her room

and her writing is bad....

and she's working with kids books to improve her writing....

"languidly got to her feet"

HOLY SHIT. THIS DRAMA. OH MY GOD FAL.

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT. ASINO. GETTING USED. STATUS: TOLD

>COQUETTISH GESTURE

asdfasdjf the language used. this is just too much

oh the butthurt Asino. nobleman. fuck off with your superiority

... Fal. is actually. kind of

wow.. is this the kind of sudden change of pace...

This fucking drama. It's like soap opera level shit. But it's rather gripping.

Quite the turn of events. Asino. Fal. Just. Wow.

[spoiler=Fal]

Wow.
[img]http://i.imgur.com/uUn3g.png[/img]
Yandere?


[/spoiler]

It's really almost eerie and creepy to hear Fal talk like that.

"Her tone was oddly gentle, which had the opposite effect of creeping me out."

Yeah, me too. Me too.

I just sighed. This kind of revelation. Really? I just had the equivalent of whiplash or something.

So in the end [spoiler=I]was just being used? Asino, to get closer to me. Me, because of the sound of my Fortell[/spoiler]

...


what the fuck. That voice. Was fucking creepy.

What the fuck did I just do.

I don't even know what this feeling is. Unease? Disgust? Shock? Nausea?

You know, this is not an 18+ VN, and it has no H, but still. This feels like some REALLY heavy drama.

lying dormant, smoldering...

EDIT:

... and now [spoiler=Phorni]is gone.

"Goodbye"

[/spoiler]

This rain seems to reflect emotions.

a succinct letter indeed.

cold and cruel. There are the words I'm looking for.

and she hates the benefactor.. and his daughter

And all you hear is the sound of the rain.. if you choose not to follow

"Wretched, yet so beautiful"

okay no fuck off SR. >scaborous heart

come the fuck on. scaborous. Seriously. This is worse than the dilettante

dictionaries all day

keeping up a flawless social facade

The overwhelming corny feeling of this scene was incredible. But at the same time, the scene was pretty incredible.

Romance and drama done right, I tell you.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/CZAuZ.png[/img]

What kind of final cut-scene is this. This ending. Phorni flying in space. wat

And a happy ending.

Well, I guess that's that. Time to go with other two Da Capo routes.

EDIT: some symphonic rain time

"These minor misgivings notwithstanding, "

I don't remember the last time I saw this word outside of old english.

Liselsia.

Lise.

I'm going to stop quoting words from this VN, because it's clear that the level of written language is unnecessarily elevated.

Oh ho, a lecturer about Fortell? And it's Cesarini. Liselsia Cesarini.. so it's the daughter of that guy.

THIS LUNCHLADY. THIS LUNCHLADY SOUNDS LIKE THE LUNCHLADY FROM MUV LUV. HAHAHA.

I really wish I could look up the CV for her.

You know.

So. Lise is the daughter of [spoiler=]that Giovan or whatever guy's name.[/spoiler]

And Fal is the [spoiler=]adopted/patron of the same guy. He brought from the orphanage because of her ability to sing[/spoiler]

and so the way it goes is..

honestly it really looks like [spoiler=]Lise and Fal are actually siblings, even if they aren't. of course, that could just be character design, but still, silver hair, dark green eyes..[/spoiler]

... why the hell did everyone just leave the cenacolo...

Interesting. Graves seems to think there are only two people with talent, Chris being one of them.

...

No.

Okay. Graves had better not be doing what I think he's doing. If so. Fuck off.

Seriously.

Fuck you Graves [spoiler=]Are you seriously beating your daughter[/spoiler]



FUCKF UASDUFSADJC
FUCK YOU

are you fucking kidding me.

what kind of ending is this.

This is supposed to be the GOOD ending? What. Fuck. This. Shit.

God, the bad ending wasn't this painful.

oh right there's an epilogue.

oh god. oh god oh god oh god oh god


;______________________; Lise

I lost it. I started choking up. No pun intended for those of you who understand.

the lyrics for the song. oh man. those lyrics.

and she

she [spoiler=]started singing again, albeit roughly[/spoiler]

would these be tears of happiness?

awwww I really like Torta

Tortinita <3

yeah her song is probably the most difficult. it seems really fun though

Fal's is a bit jazzy and repetitive, Lise's is a bit off-tempo and kind of like a ballad. In terms of difficulty, Torta's is the most difficult so far, not counting the IN songs at end of each character's routes.

hahahah

Torta's pulling the sad puppy dog eyes on Chris here.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/TSuiw.png[/img]

whipped, whipped whipped

more little bits and pieces of Japanese.

# Phorni in Symphonic Rain

AHA. Hiroko Kasahara

Sounded familiar. It's Sora again hahaha.

and.. didn't even see the connection, though the last time I watched Bleach was years ago. Liselia - Fumiko Orikasa, also Rukia, and Shirley,

aw man, I always love the osananajimi characters

幼馴染

[url]http://wiki.komica.org/wiki/?%E5%B9%BC%E9%A6%B4%E6%9F%93[/url]

ready set go how many of them can you recognize without english?

???

What the hell is Ari doing here? Didn't she say she was busy?

oh wow.

Ari is really adorable.

I have a weird suspicion about something. three months may feel like an eternity.

Ok, so I just got a bad end.

The "Torta bad end"

You just [spoiler=]Go back home with Arietta. But.. how is that a bad end? I mean yeah it's Torta, but how do you end up with Arietta?[/spoiler]

accidentally buying too much of something because of discounts is something like Ari would do

seeing two different people as one

hmm...

but of course you can tell the difference, right?

and now she brought some bread..

waitaminute, didn't Ari mail him some bread.....

Phorni seems awfully attached to the Fine family.

Ok, so I just got a bad end.

The "Torta bad end"

You just [spoiler=]Go back home with Arietta. But.. how is that a bad end? I mean yeah it's Torta, but how do you end up with Arietta?[/spoiler]

accidentally buying too much of something because of discounts is something like Ari would do

seeing two different people as one

hmm...

and right now it's going backwards. Huh. The letters are going backwards in time...

"I would be a little happier on rainy days. Because I'd be able to experience the days that Chris felt."

"That was why I anxiously awaited for the rain to come.

[spoiler=]Here in the City of Rain[/spoiler]

Wait.. so it's NOT raining there? I'm pretty confused right now.



but of course you can tell the difference, right?

and now she brought some bread..

waitaminute, didn't Ari mail him some bread.....

Oh ho! Nina has tickets to that concert that Fal and Chris went to on that route.

Dropping off Phorni at Torta's place? I wonder why...?
"
Her expressionless face bore an astounding resemblance to that of my sweetheart.
Considering that they were twins, this shouldn't have come as a surprise.
But...
I couldn't help but feel there was something else about it
"

"Torta was here for no one else but me"

>If she has you whipped *already*, you'l be in for hell later on. Believe me, I know.

HAHAHA. This calzone guy is great.




[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/WiSzd.png[/IMG]

So. Torta is acting kind of suspicious.

If there is another fucking Yandere...

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/HfOrm.png[/IMG]

WHIPPED. SO WHIPPED

Torta seems to be saying a lot of things [spoiler=]that Arietta was saying. Like, similar actions, similar lines. Hmmm[/spoiler]

Wait.

So Torta was confirming that Chris was going to be at home on Sunday.

And it just so happens that Ari shows up on Sunday?

Oh. Maybe it was a letter between Torta and Ari then. Ari probably told Torta about the surprise visit.

Oh yeah, Ari just said that she wrote Torta a letter.

Ari is doing his laundry. lol



OOPS. Nice one Chris.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Ie8UV.png[/IMG]

>I could no longer tell whether that voice belonged to Ari or Torta.

and now Torta has a cold.

I wonder why she's pushing herself so hard...


in the city of rain, no one uses umbrellas....

oh she finally confessed

sending off letters to Arietta...

And they finally break it off...

Interesting, you don't actually need to play on Tortinita's route.

Wait, why is Ari here again?

I have strong suspicions that it is [spoiler=]Torta dressing up as Ari[/spoiler]

What a depressing ending. This is supposed to be Torta's good end?

So, Torta's bad end is [spoiler=]Going home with Ari. Just as planned[/spoiler]
Torta's good end is [spoiler=]Seeing off Ari at the train station[/spoiler]

Why does it feel like it's reversed and that it's really like it's Ari's route? Where's the rest of the Torta story?

Epilogue time: Torta's unhappy for some reason. She didn't show up that night.

Wait. What kind of freakin epilogue is this. Shall I start from the beginning, or start from the end?

And she took off the hair ribbon that she always wears.

Wait a minute. That's a strong indication of what I think it is.....

Alright time to move to side 2, al fine.

It starts with a letter to Arietta.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/H3bwp.png[/IMG]

Uh oh. I don't want to know.

[spoiler=letters]that piled lies atop more lies - all for chris' sake[/spoiler]

"Actually, that 'someone else' isn't the image reflected in the mirror right now"
!!!! I knew it. I freakin knew it. It was blatantly hinted at.
[spoiler=major spoilers]Torta and Ari were the same person. Torta was answering the letters. Torta was dressing up as Ari.[/spoiler]

Now the question is why. Why is she doing this?

Torta's gotten pretty good at lying.

[spoiler=Torta]The things Chris wouldn't heed, even if I were to tell him face-to-face, he would eat up if I wrote them through "Ari's letters."[/spoiler]

Oh man. Oh man. This is. I am really curious about it.

"I am a wretched women"

[spoiler=Chris]his eardrum had ruptured.


the doctor said there was a possibility of ringing in his ears.. is it raining?

a major accident. he had gone into shock. He and Ari had...

Ari had suffered heavy trauma to the head and still hadn't regained consciousness[/spoiler]

oh man. oh man. what am I reading. this just turned really dark really quickly.......

"Listen... it's the sound of the rain. It really is the City of Rain."

Express mail... letters.

11/28 now. It's just going backwards.

>he mumbled with a look of consternation on his face.

CONSTERNATION. REALLY.

Oh! So that's what Torta was doing every Tuesday. Baking lessons.

Yep. And so that bread. Yeah. Okay. I see. Ari also working in a bakery. Yeah....

"I would especially feel that way whenever I let my hair down."

Yeah yeah.

[spoiler=Torta]
But it was all me. The letters were sent by me, the one who liked Chris was me...

So - who was I, really? Tortinita, obviously.

But in Chris' heart, I was also Arietta[/spoiler]

"I was losing my individuality, and it terrified me."

Actually, yeah. Why DID Falsita raise that umbrella? Back on the Fal route it was never explicitly explained as to why she used that umbrella.

And I don't recall there being a scene where Chris explained anything...

"Pompous creep"

Yeah sounds about right.

OH. WAIT A MINUTE. SO. Yeah, Asino. And so that part, where Fal is like [spoiler=]Asino was only using you[/spoiler]

Basically Fal was [spoiler=]getting friendly with Asino too, to find out more about Chris, and so Asino spilled the secret in hopes of trying to partner with Fal, on Fal's route. And then Fal revealed the secret[/spoiler]

Yeah, okay. This makes sense then. It was basically Fal "doing her homework" as always.

Yep. Asino is a scumbag, I figured as much. Cynical and calculative, but it's so easy to see through this guy. It's like a baby Grave.

(complete side note. I just tested whether MLA still had a strong effect on me. Re-read the original hive arc. Oh yeah. bawling again for another hours. )

12/02

So I guess it will start progressing forward from this point onward.

yeeeeesh. what is this female jealousy I feel. Torta and Fal.

"If possible, I never wanted to see her again"

Well now. That's certainly a bit dark.

Honestly, everything from her perspective.. just made SR quite a bit darker and more depressing.

"I would watch the two of them go out and walk off into the distance from my window on weekends - and it would fill my heart with excruciating envy"

God. This is like one massive guilt trip..

[spoiler=Torta]
There was nothing for Chris to apologize about.
'Because Ari told you to?'
Oh please.
I told him that.
I'd manipulated Chris' feelings by making it seem Ari told him so, and now I was irritated about that very thing.
[/spoiler]

Love sure can be ugly.

In order to cover up an old lie, I would lacquer a new one on top of it.

...

I no longer even knew what my true feelings were. Was this a sweet lie? Or was it how I truly felt?

God. This really is twisted. Reading this narration is really something else....

Oh Torta ;_;

Oh ho! So the two grannies were planning that since a few days before [spoiler=]the concert when Nina said she wouldn't go. Oh ho ho ho ho[/spoiler]

Just as planned grannies.

"It is my own avarice that drives me to continue lying"

God. I feel. So bad. For Tortinita. ;_____;

Torta. Torta. ;_;

[spoiler=]I ended up crying myself to sleep last night. After a nice long bath this morning, there were no traces of that left.[/spoiler]

It really is miraculous he didn't find out during all that time.

"I'll do anything I can to help."
I really would.
Anything he wanted me to.
[spoiler=]
"My final moment of happiness with Chris"[/spoiler]

[spoiler=The rain]in his heart. Oh I see. That rain is almost an allegory to his feelings[/spoiler]

Torta's tears of confusion...

;_;

Wait wait wait, Cordell's unrequited love??

!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAIT.

That voice just now.

Torta was just hearing.

That voice.

Torta [spoiler=was hearing]Phorni's voice!!! It was Phorni's voice that she heard while she was half asleep![/spoiler]

So other people CAN hear her?

Okay, so now not only is Chris [spoiler=]delusional about the rain, Torta is delusional about her sister.[/spoiler]

Was it guilt, or was it regret?
Was it grief, or was it delight?
I might noe be forgiven for this.
But the lies kepty flowing forth from my mouth, and I had no way of stopping it.

---

"Of course not. I can fabricate as many smiles as I want"
I said while producing the widest smile I could.
I would've wanted to check in the mirror, but I couldn't do that right now.
"So I'm fine. Thanks, Asino."
I looked at him with as bright a demeanor as I could muster.

'...Women are terrifying'
"I'll take that as a compliment"

---
---

... she broke the mirror when she was confused... about the roles... out of frustration and self-hatred...

oh wow.

02/02

.. This is the good end. The normal end that happens with Chris+Torta route.

[spoiler=massive spoiler]Ari just died. [/spoiler]

!!! There's a line. At the end. What does it say? Torta says something during the Al Fine Good End.

Okay so it's a different end if you sit and listen to the granny.

Oh god I jumped. That sound of that. That sound. The sound of that [spoiler=]car made me jump[/spoiler]

1/21

Arietta.

Best Ending.

Epilogue time.



Password: kitchen knife

I wonder what this is..?

===

So all there is left is Phorni's route.

What is this. This is a new scene.

"Farewell"
"There is no time"

Must. Remember. I have to remember.

Frustration. Guilt. Regret.

Hmmm... [spoiler=weather]Okay, so Phorni always seems to mention the rain too. I guess she sees it too?

Okay, so after the illusion of rain, I have another theory[/spoiler]

So maybe, considering all that I've read so far, Phorni [spoiler]isn't real either, just like the rain. It's just a hallucination. He puts out the towels for himself.[/spoiler]

Either that, or it's [spoiler=]a spirite of Ari or something[/spoiler]



OH MAN. THIS IS JUST TOO CUTE FOR WORDS. PHORNI IS CLIMBING THE DRAWERS. TO PUT THE TOWEL UP.

HAHAHA

So I hear Phorni's route is where the ! moments occur. Aww yea, my body is ready.

All Phorni ever wants is to perform ensembles. Music sprite indeed.

Wow. Phorni's song is surprisingly difficult. It's fun though. And pretty upbeat.

Three years ago, eh?

So that must be right around that [spoiler=]accident with Ari. Yep. So Phorni is probably an illusion?[/spoiler]

But at the same time that doesn't exactly explain why [spoiler=Torta]could hear the voice when she was half-asleep/dreaming[/spoiler]

I keep thinking it's related to [spoiler=]Ari, since all the times when you don't pick Torta, there's the whole goodbye thing.[/spoiler]

Okay, I think I finally figured out the tiny little bar that says Piova at the bottom. It's kind of like a time-progress bar. Sort of.

And now Phorni's saying she'll go to school with Chris.

"Nah, I'm fine. That's Torta's role"

Waitaminute. [spoiler=Ari]said the same thing didn't she...[/spoiler]

What exactly is Phorni...

"That's right, it couldn't be helped"

Okay, now that I think about it. There are three bad ends

1.) Fal bad end
2.) Lise bad end
3.) Generic/Torta bad end

The third bad end [spoiler=]is where you basically get partnered with Torta. and then you graduate. And then you meet "Ari" and "go back to the home town"

except... Ari's dead[/spoiler]

So I'm sure it breaks Chris. Or something.

forgiveness, kindness, and affection.

Hmmmmm.. OH I SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING

[spoiler=the letter]http://i.imgur.com/2vpFA.png[/spoiler]

Yeah the letters take on a completely different meaning when you realize that it's [spoiler=]Torta writing the letters[/spoiler]

And on this route Ari comes to visit.

Forget, but don't forget.
Don't remember, but rememeber.

What's with these dreams...

... and Phorni has [spoiler=]already finished the song, but she said she didn't finish them...[/spoiler]

Hmmmmm..

"Ahaha, those words bring back memories."

Memories of what? Why would she have those memories?

Torta. Tuesday. Yeah she's doing that [spoiler=]baking bread thing again[/spoiler]

Wait. Other people can hear [spoiler=]Phorni's voice?[/spoiler]

Oh ho, there's another letter from Arietta? Of course it's just [spoiler=]Torta, so this is probably Torta being worried[/spoiler]

And so it turns out [spoiler=Arietta]cannot come and visit[/spoiler]

I guess that was expected.

48k. The full song is really fun. And I think it's called... Fay. lol

Oh, it's the dream again.

"Today will be the last time. Then I will give up. Then I can give up."

Something I'd forgotten. Something I mustn't forget.

Phorni, and then Ari, popped into his head..

the resemblance between [spoiler=]Phorni and Ari and Torta?[/spoiler]

Judging from her expression just before, it was pretty clear she was lying.

I wonder what she's lying about.

Oh it's the calzone stand

Looks like Phorni's pretty defensive of Chris, actually.

.... more and more... wait...

more and more people... [spoiler=]can hear Phorni....[/spoiler]

What is this. Why is this happening?

Did this have to do with the remembering thing?

.. and then she disappeared.... after [spoiler=]telling Chris to partner with Torta[/spoiler]

It's like everything is pointing towards [spoiler=]Phorni being Ari, or some embodiment of her[/spoiler]

Man, it's like [spoiler=]Chris is dying...[/spoiler]

Chris
You won't wake up
Are you okay?
You have a fever
It's my fault
Aren't you hungry?
I beg of you, open your eyes.
How long have you been sleeping?
I'm sorry
This wasn't my intention.
I'll have to rely on (spoiler)
I can't do it
Chris
Why can't I do it?
Open your eyes
Chris
I won't be stubborn anymore
Why did I say something like that
I'm watching over you
Your fever won't subside
I love you
I want to hear you play the Fortel
I want to hear your gentle voice
I want to see you smile
Wake up
I must sing for him
And then I'll say
See? It was all thanks to me.
(Spoiler).
I'm sorry
Chris.
I like you
I really do
Don't forget about me
You don't have to remember
Please, remember
I'm right here with you
I love you
Chris
Remember
Remember

!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh god. That sound. That sound that sound that sound that sound that sound.

Made me jump. Tears. Tears tears tears.

A small body fluttered through the air.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

An explosion. My ears. My fucking ears.


Icy Rain.

I can't really explain this feeling right now. It's just.

Melancholy? No, it's. I'm slightly on the verge of tears. And

that was painful to read. I didn't want to know how that happened.

So everyone heard her singing. Yet can't see. Interesting

And a clear sky....

[spoiler=Phorni]hadn't opened her eyes even once.[/spoiler]

.. I just lost it.

These tears. These tears don't stop. These tears won't stop. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

But. But.

It's not something sad that happened. Are these tears in a good way?

Sunlight.

My heart. Just. My heart. MY heart. MY HEART.

And that's it. That's it.

I figured. I figured it was something like that. There was suspicion from the very beginning, and it just built on top of it.

But. At the same time. It was still powerful.

Oh wow.

Just. Oh wow. Different kind of tears.

9/10. Seriously.

Nakige for sure?
