Hatoful Holidaystar - Story 1 Part 7

[davidn]

The final part of this week's Holidaystar uploads sees another aspect of Moa's brilliant storytelling coming through - her ability to wrench us from the hilarity of the previous episode into a tragic backstory which gives us a new perspective on the significance of there weird little bipedal doves. Evidently our characters haven't learned much in the way of survival skills, but everything seems to turn out all right in the end. Except we know that this can't be the end - it's going to be just the beginning of something much, much deeper.

I'm looking forward to finding out what that might be...

I wasn't exactly thrilled with that decision, either, and I am Sakuya! You may have noticed the liberties I took with that line. :P

But yes, they're probably safe with Shuu, because they were Ryuuji's charges, and while I don't think Shuu is the type to get nostalgic or romantic or anything to the extent Xaq claims, it's probably at least good enough for a begrudging "well, I can't just kill them" (which is actually pretty impressive by Shuu standards!)
