[[http://ks.renai.us/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=5600#p80479 Reconciliation]] is a KatawaShoujo fanfic that takes place eight years after Hanako’s bad ending. Hanako, having cut ties with Lilly and Hisao over the shame of what she did, is now a best-selling author, but has no real friends apart from her publicist, Sho Yamane. But her past may not be completely behind her, and an unexpected phone call from Lilly gives her the chance to renew her ties with people from her past.

* NoNameGiven: Akira’s boyfriend, the one she was dating in KatawaShoujo and still is in this fic, is never referred to by name, and she tends to refer to him as “The Boyfriend”. Hanako has to ask whether he’s the same one she was dating in the past, and Akira says yes.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: Hanako with Lilly and Hisao. Lilly thus has an awkward moment when she tells Sho how she knows Hanako, unable to say that they were anything more than schoolmates.
