Finished all the routes, with Rin as my first go. Holy fuck, her route. None of the other route felt as emotionally draining than Rin's for me. I felt uncertain, anxious and uncomfortable as fuck during her stay in the art studio. There were so many tings in the text that suggested shit was gonna happen and I was fucking scared, though luckily I managed to get the good ending in my first go. It was rewarding at the climax, with my negative feelings finally lifted after she cried in Hisao's chest and the next 2 scenes after, rewarding as fuck for me.
Been cramming on this game getting whoever randomly Emi was first, but got Rin after. 4LS really can do a number on ya with these stories. Like how Rin doesn't get herself and think that painting is the only wat she can express hweself. Down to the point that she's willing to destroy herself to come up with new paintings, seeing the mess she became during that scene made me fear the worse and also made me want to cry. All her endings had a some degree of sadness to it, even the good ending. (mainly cause she doesn't understand love and don't know if she loves him and even though he's willing to be friends after everything he doesn't know if he loves her.)
