** Even if Yan-Chan=Ayano for the sake of that rule, it's probably a safe bet that Kokona considers you a close friend after you got her father out of debt, so it's not too outlandish that she'd think them close enough to use Ayano's first name.

* What's with the naming conventions of the game? In Japan, people go by their last name unless they're close, but in Yandere Simulator, that never happens. I don't know if Ayano being called "Yan-chan" would be the same as calling her Ayano, but Kokona calls her by the nickname after knowing her for a little bit. I'd accept if it was because it's an alternate universe Japan, but in the 1st basement tape, Ryoba Aishi's senpai doesn't call her by her first name (at first) because he doesn't know her well enough. But he knows her name, since after being held at knife point he calls her by her first name. So does the game go by the Japanese rule of calling people by their last name or not?

** Maybe if everyone's stepping up she's afraid that they'll wonder why she didn't, and she wants to keep that aspect of her more hidden. Still PragmaticVillainy, but less afraid of becoming your victim and more afraid of what everyone else will realize about her if she doesn't step up. Though, like you said, it could change later on, and [=YandereDev=] said that one potential change to the mechanic is that Cowardly personas will never attempt to apprehend you; maybe later on Evil personas will also stay back. The mechanic is brand new, after all.

* As of the mid January build, if any four students see you commit a murder at the same time, they will try to apprehend you. This includes the evil Yui Rio. Umm... why? She approves of murder, and she still cheers you on and promises to keep it a secret if she sees you commit a murder with no more than two other witnesses. She is supposed to want you to be free to kill more people so that she can see more murder. If it's PragmaticVillainy and she does not want to risk becoming a victim herself, why does she still cheer you on if there are not three or more witnesses? If she's afraid of becoming a victim herself, and that's why she helps apprehend you if there are three others, how come when there are, at most, two others, she cheers you on instead of begging for her life? I know this could change in the future, but at least for the time, it needs an explanation.

* The January 2017 build of <i>Yandere Simulator</i> comes with a disclaimer that "All characters depicted are 18 or older, even if otherwise specified." If that's taken seriously rather than as a way of getting around certain US states' 18+ age of consent laws, that means that Senpai's little sister (otherwise specified to be approximately 16) is at least 18, Ayano and her classmates (otherwise specified to be approximately 17) are at least 19, and Senpai (otherwise specified to be approximately 18) is at least 20. If that is the case... what are they still doing in high-school?!

** The ending map in part 2 of January 2017's dev video mentions Yandere-Chan potentially "discover[ing] the secret of the cherry tree", which may have something to do with [=OP=]'s question. Certainly, with demons running around, a magic tree isn't out of the realm of possibility.

** Would the staff be allowed to divulge that information? Admittedly I know nothing about what the rules about that would be in Japan but I highly doubt it. Alternatively, they might be afraid of Info-Chan finding out about the attempt and revealing any dirt she might have on them as payback; what would a student have to gain from knowing Info-Chan's identity that would be worth the inevitable reputation tank?

* Why is Mr. Aishi against Ayano going after a girl? He should know more than anyone what an Aishi woman will do to get and keep the object of her affections. Looking at it from a pragmatic perspective, if Ayano is obsessed with a girl, that basically guarantees that there will be one less {{Yandere}} bloodline in the world. After all, it seems unreasonable that a yandere would have someone be a surrogate father. Surely the social stigma is worth letting the world be a slightly better place.

** Well, it's not like Yandere-Chan is the only bad person on campus. The delinquents hang around the incinerator carrying weapons, there are assorted people who get off on the suffering of others (Yui's not going to be the only one), somebody's supplying Info-Chan with panty shots, and Info-Chan is pretty blatantly evil herself.

* [[WordOfGod YandereDev]] states that the rivals are supposed to not come off as true villains, and that killing them is supposed to be a bad thing, but what about Mida Rana? Mida is stated to have a history of seducing schoolboys, and she appears to be made to come off as a seductive temptress. I know that the age of consent is much lower in Japan than in America, but even if they are of age, it still counts as illegal activity since a teacher is in a position of authority. She has repeatedly broken the law by lusting after her students. I'm willing to give Muja Kina a pass since she seems more innocent and willing to wait until after Senpai graduates, but Mida comes off as a stereotypical female child molesting teacher. Are we really supposed to feel bad about killing a woman like her? If the faculty knew what she was doing, she wold probably be arrested or fired. Why are we supposed to feel bad about killing her?
