I played through Shizune without much consequence, but doing Emi's route over the past couple days really hit me. Everything turned out fine in the end, if you do it right at least, but getting to that point had some really crushing moments that I as a person could not have possibly gotten myself through the way Hisao does. Maybe it's because he's so much more oblivious to things than I am. "Why does Emi enjoy running so much, hurr durr." Dammit, someone give me a cute girl to hug.
