I don't know how to feel about this. Up until this route, the only decent thing to come out of this game has been Lise's route. And even this route feels pretty forced. I mean, she was going to die if MC didn't come back to her? Seriously? The guy who was basically like, "Really? Ari has been in a coma for 3 years? Fascinating. Hey Torta, wanna fuck?" And they seemed pretty happy at her funeral too.

Torta was a fucking manipulative bitch.I couldn't see it any other way. She was just trying to get with MC at the expense of her sister. And MC didn't even get mad at her. Fuck this shit, he didn't deserve Ari.

Fal was arguably the best girl. She never actually lied to you and was completely honest with you when the time came. And she wasn't as helpless and autistic as Fal. She was probably the most sane girl in the entire game.

Wow OP, you are pretty dense. Actually I don't know if "dense" is the right word so I suggest you to think again about things that you point out in your post.

You don't know what happens after Ari's death and her funeral. They have a relieved yet sad expression at her funeral because she was finally "resting" instead of struggling for 3 years. If you can't understand that kind of emotion there is not much I can say to you. We also don't know what happens between Torta telling Chris about Ari and her funeral, you can presume Chris's heart being crushed and Torta being there to support him for example.

Torta always loved Chris, even before Ari but since she never confessed it and Ari did she always hide that from him in order to not hurt him and her sister. Yet, she still keep supporting Chris and being someone he can always depend on. The whole Torta plot is about Torta feeling guilty about loving Chris while her sister is in that state, after 3 years she couldn't hold back (at Al Fine route) and said she loved him, even with Chris knowing it before, but she finally confessed to him. If Chris was always sad like that with Ari being "alive and well in his city" can't you even imagine what you be like if he knew what actually happened? That's why Torta's and Chriss families decide to send them to Piova

The whole dead or alive Ari is all about Phorni. Phorni don't even know that she can "go back" to Ari and didn't want to make Chris remember what happened to Ari to not make him sad. Ari dying means that Phorni gave up on living since Chris was the only thing motivating her to keep going, she disappeared, and with that so did Ari's spirit

Did anyone else take a new perspective about being in the rain after playing this? I used to hate getting wet while walking in the rain and always carried an umbrella when it rained, but Chris changed my perspective and now I don't care as much.

On the other hand, it was never actually raining in the first place, so yeah. That was definitely one of the biggest twists for me, and I wish it had a more direct bearing on the story. In the end, Chris left Piova without ever perceiving it without rain.

I was also amazed at that mysterious meter that decreased every time you passed a song but spiked when something bad happens (like Lise being attacked in front of Chris), and then it disappeared when Chris left the city. If I'm not mistaken, it represented the level of rainfall, right? That also reminds me that Torta was never shown telling Lise about Chris' condition, so she must've been quite confused when he bought an umbrella for her all those times. Any thoughts on those last few things?

My problem is that she was a manipulative bitch that basically toyed with MC's emotions. At least this "certain other bitch" was honest about her intentions.

No, I remember. She said she felt guilty plenty of times, but that was usually just before doing some fucked up shit, like "testing" MC. Actions speak louder than words.

No, but I can for pretending to be her unconscious sister with the purpose of pushing MC away from her and pulling him toward herself. If she wanted MC, that's fine. But using her sister as a means is unforgivable to me.

>she is always feeling guilty and apologizing for her own selfishness

Meh, I think that's pretty much the same thing at the end.

And I think she decided to pull him away from Ari to don't make him suffer so much when she reveals the truth to him, I can't even imagine how shocking it could be for someone to find out that someone he thinks it's fine and all it's actually in a comma for 3 years and that the rain you always see is fake.
