* FridgeBrilliance regarding Hanako and her route. The way to get on her route in Act I is to have Hisao boldly introduce himself in the library, rather than apologizing for disturbing her. [[spoiler: This ties into later in the game, especially the Bad End where she snaps at Hisao and Lily for coddling her all the time.

God, even fifteen minutes would seem like an eternity in that situation, and it could have been ''much'' longer than that, maybe even ''hours''...]]

* Hisao probably wouldn't make as much of a fuss about taking his pills if he realised that one of the common medications prescribed for cardiac arrhythmia and similar diseases is Sildenafil. More commonly known as Viagra. Explains a bit about his extracurricular activities.

Did you know that Viagra is actually a heart medication? Fun fact.


* In Lilly's route, Hisao passes off her sudden enjoyment of wine as a [[BottleFairy vice]], similar to her tea addiction. Initially, this judgement this makes sense considering [[spoiler: she got drunk the first time she tried it]], but then FridgeBrilliance kicks in. Anyone who's ever tried to [[WineIsClassy taste wine properly]] knows that there are a multitude of factors involved in judging a wine, most of which are ''not'' related to it's appearance. Things like smell, texture, body, acidity, variety of grape, aftertaste, flavours etc. To Hisao, or most people for that matter, these would be an afterthought since it's just booze to him. To Lilly, these things would immediately stick out to her since her other senses are so much more sensitive. Even the sound of the wine sloshing about in the glass would be something new and exciting to Lilly, so it's no surprise she takes such a fast liking to it.

* FridgeBrilliance makes Shizune's route more enjoyable on subsequent playthroughs. [[spoiler: Misha more or less forces Hisao to use sign language when speaking with Shizune because she knows they like each other and she doesn't want to mediate their nascent romantic relationship. Shizune doesn't let herself have many romantic moments with Hisao because she dislikes just going through the motions of a romantic relationship... and because she knows how painful it would be for Misha to see the two of them flirt. Shizune focuses on student council work because it's the only thing she can do without excluding either Hisao or Misha. Shizune focuses on patching up her relationship with Misha because she feels incredibly guilty at having rejected and then driven away her only friend.]]

** It could be a clip-on. And if you've seen any documentaries about real people who can use either arm for various reasons, and the dexterity they develop in their legs/feet, it's not very far-fetched. A tie knot isn't that complex, and Rin could probably even crochet if she wanted to.

FridgeLogic: How bad of a cook must Akira be, if her ''blind'' younger sister did most of the cooking?

A lot of cooking doesn't really require sight. Most of the ingredients are measured out somehow, and temperature and smell are really important to see if a dish is done.

* So you're saying that Lilly stuck her finger in the hot food to see if it's ready?
** Or, you know, held her hand seven or eight centimeters above the pot to feel the heat rising off a given pot (or opened the oven to do the same in the event of baked goods).



FridgeLogic: Rin wears the male uniform. And she wears a tie. Which shouldn't be possible because, you know, she doesn't has any arms!I know that she uses her feet to accomplish things other people use with their hands, but this is just ridiculous!
* Eh... it's stated in the game that Emi helps her get dressed every morning.
