}}'''Act 1 - Life Expectancy''' is the first "gameplay scenario" of Katawa Shoujo. While Hisao adjusts to his new school and new health condition, he meets the various students at Yamaku, including the five girls he can have a relationship with: Shizune, Lilly, Hanako, Emi, and Rin. The entire takes place over the course of a week -- Monday to Sunday -- ending on the school festival, when Hisao realizes he has feelings for whichever girl the player has favored.

Unlike Acts Two through Four, which stay fairly linear on the character's path, Act 1 can vary widely depending on which choices the player makes. In some cases, the entire Saturday is spent with one girl at a tea shop. In others, Hisao can meet each girl in a single day. The available choices and paths are entirely dependent on Hisao's choices, which influence variables within the code representing his interest in each girl at any given time. However, there are certain constants, and certain scenes which always show up, no matter which choice is taken.

Line 59:

On the day of the festival, Hisao wakes up late, almost at noon. Depending on which girl Hisao favors, he will spend the festival day with one of them. If Emi, he spends the festival day with her trying to eat fried food without her noticing. If Rin, he spends all the festival day by the mural, saying nothing. If Lilly, he finds her at her working at her food stall, then the two of them go to the library to get Hanako. If Shizune, Hisao spends most of the festival trying to win a stuffed cat for her. If Hanako, they go to the tea room and spend the festival in its solitary environment, playing chess. In any case, Hisao realizes that he may be falling for his chosen girl.

If Hisao did not demonstrate interest in any of the girls, Kenji invites him to go to the roof for a "manly" picnic. They spend the festival passing a whiskey bottle between each other. Hours pass while Kenji ~~continously~~ rants and Hisao drunkenly listens, lamenting that he should have asked a girl out and that he squandered all his opportunities. He ends up accidentally falling off the roof to his death (this is a joke ending).
