Changed line(s) 6,9 (click to see context) from:

* {{Narm}}: The scene in episode 11 where [[spoiler: Renji and Chihiro finish their date by kissing [[TheirFirstTime and then having sex]] in the rooftop of the school]] loses quite a part of its emotion when you see [[spoiler: Chihiro]]'s clothes neatly and primorously folded on the floor, as if they were just ready for morning use. Waaaaay to distract the viewer from all of the dramatic tension there.
* ValuesDissonance: "My parents got divorced" would ''not'' be considered an excuse for Miyako's behavior in any country where divorce is remotely common. Because it's a relatively new development in Japan, this kind of portrayal of the psychological effects of divorce on a child is pretty common there.
** "My parents got divorced" is not a very valid excuse. [[spoiler: "My parents hated each other, barely spoke two words to each other while they were together, and were too caught up in their hatred to remember that they had a 6-year-old daughter to take care of. When they finally got divorced, they were so anxious to get away from each other that they both moved out and ''they just left me there''"]] is, however.
** Note that in the game, where her selfishness is the most over-the-top, she does live with family members. Miyako's excuse for her behavior is that she never learned how to interact with people because of her parents' neglect--and unless she lived in a social vacuum (i.e. confined to the house, bullied at school) she would still learn how to behave by observing other people's interactions in public or through the media. Many neglected children (this editor happens to be one) develop attention-seeking behaviors based on how bad the neglect was, but Miyako's behavior is far above and beyond trying to get people to pay attention to and like her. She claims that her disregard of Hiro's needs and other people's feelings ''is not her fault'' because of her childhood trauma, and as a boy raised in a society that's heavy on the importance of the family unit, Hiro believes this and immediately forgives her. The game insinuates that Miyako can't help the way she is, despite the way that she grows out of some of her self-centeredness from Kei's chapter onward--but in countries where such victims of divorce-induced mild-to-moderate neglect are more common, there would still be no excuse for that kind of selfishness, and to insinuate that neglect victims are naturally hurtful to others and don't know any better the way that Miyako claims to be in the visual novel [[UnfortunateImplications can be]] ''[[UnfortunateImplications very]]'' [[UnfortunateImplications offensive]] to said real-life victims.

* {{KarmaHoudini}}: The person who was driving the car that [[spoiler: hit and killed Yuuko]] just drove away and left her there and was probably never found.
