I expect a few results for Nerine from here on out. Nice to have a bit of variation, y'know? (Too bad Asa may take some time before she shows up. I think she requires X11X10

001000000 - Kaede (Huh. I was expecting Lisianthus - I didn't make a single choice I'd even vaguely associate with Kaede.)

001000001 - Kaede (I think I should expect lots of results for Kaede for a while...)

001000010 - Kaede

001000011 - Kaede (Well, I'm getting to see the Funbag Airbag every time, so that's something, I guess...)

001000100 - Kaede

001000101 - Kaede

001000110 - Kaede

001000111 - Kaede (Hmm... Why does Asa volunteer to help with Primula's bra shopping, considering her condition?)

001001000 - Kaede

001001001 - Primula (Well, there goes the mass of Kaede routes... this time around. Back to alternates now I bet.)

001001010 - Kaede

001001011 - Primula

001001100 - Kaede

001001101 - Primula

001001110 - Kaede

001001111 - Primula

001010000 - Kaede (Hrm. Less Nerine than I thought there would be. :/)

001010001 - Primula

001010010 - Kaede (Okay, pretty much certain now that the scenes between choices (such as the earlier-mentioned Funbag Airbag) are selected primarily using a points system. During this route, Asa & Kareha cooked for Rin rather than Lisianthus, yet it was as a whole otherwise identical to last week when I did X 00 XXXXXX instead of this X 01 XXXXXX. Not sure about the endings yet though.

001010011 - Primula

001010100 - Kaede

001010101 - Primula

001010110 - Kaede

001010111 - Primula (For the record, up to this point has taken approximately two hours so far today.)

001011000 - Kaede

001011001 - Primula

001011010 - Kaede

001011011 - Primula (Annoyingly, I actually have to pay attention to everything after the 4th, because if I just leave it as it is on any route other than Asa's, the skipping may stop itself on a scene I'd rather not have people nearby see on my screen. >_>)

001011100 - Kaede

001011101 - Primula

001011110 - Kaede

001011111 - Primula

001100000 - Kaede (I get a feeling that the next 32, including this one, are going to all be Kaede...)

So much for "variation"...

Tally to this point:

Lisianthus - 26

Nerine - 0

Kaede - 78 (Far, far, too many for my liking.)

Asa - 0

Primula - 24

Hmm... Is Asa definitely an available route from the start? It occurred to me while writing this all up that her relation (from a storytelling perspective) with Kaede is similar to Primula's relation with Nerine.

Wow.... That's some..... Nice variation you got there.

Maybe you have to choose a few set choices at the start to get Nerine/Asa.

I now suspect that Nerine requires 1XXXXXXXX, and I've already mentioned what I think Asa needs.

What's curious to me though is how X11010011 would end. These two routes are the only ones in which both Asa & Primula's routes are followed perfectly... none of the choices you can make for each of their routes conflict, except possibly XXXXXXX 0 X and its inverse.
