The player has, yes, but I meant from Hiyoko's perspective...at the very least, when things start off she doesn't know Sakuya and Nageki, so for her sake at least they were needed. If she'd never gotten to know Sakuya at all, I doubt he'd have felt any need to help Ryouta with the investigation.


Also, I only went through the intro scenes twice total mself: once on the Otome routes and once again on BBL. I made a save at the "which club do I want to join?" point specifically for the purpose of skipping all that crap. :b
