Lilly's route: Difference between revisions

[[File:2Present.png|thumb|left|Act 3: Present]] The days following Lilly's departure pass. Hisao asks Shizune about the conflict between her and Lilly. She coldly advises him to ask Lilly herself when she returns. Mutou interrogates Hisao on his plans after graduation, forcing him to confront the fact that he must plan for his future. Hisao hesitantly declares an interest in the sciences.  

After class, Hisao takes some papers to Hanako, who was absent from class. Her failure to respond concerns him, and his anxiety increases when she is absent the next day. Worried, Hisao calls Lilly in Scotland for advice. She explains that today is Hanako's birthday, which is also around the time of year when her parents died. The same thing happened last year, and she regrets she can't be of more help. When Hisao prepares to hang up, she seems disappointed. Only afterward he realizes she expected him to call to talk to her, not about Hanako.  

Hanako returns to class a few days later, back to normal. Reassured by this, and a "relationship talk" with Yuuko in the library, Hisao calls Lilly in Scotland. The two enjoy some small talk before Hisao tells Lilly that he misses her. Lilly replies in kind, affirming their mutual affection.  

Hisao and Hanako meet Lilly and Akira at the airport. Since the Yamaku students have three days off from school Lilly invites Hisao & Hanako to her family's summer home in Hokkaido. Early the next day, the trio boards the early morning train to Hokkaido and arrive at the small summerhouse. As they spend time together, Hisao realizes he is in love with Lilly, and wonders when he should confess it. The trio decides to go into town, a mile and a half walk. Not long before starting, Hisao has an acute heart murmur. He suddenly realizes he forgot to take his medications yesterday. It passes, but the three return to the house.  

Worried how this may affect Hanako, they sit her down and tell her of their new relationship. Hanako reacts with reserved elation. Later that day, Hisao takes a bath, and is interrupted by Lilly. The two bathe each other and end up having sex again. On the trip home Hisao realizes how much all three of them have come to depend on each other and wonders what they will do after graduation.  

[[File:3Future.png|thumb|Act 4: Future]] One day until exams, but Shizune and Misha are more interested in what happened to Hisao and Lilly over the holiday. He admits that they are dating. Misha seems happy enough, but Shizune reacts surprised. He and Lilly eat lunch in the Tea Room, reaffirming their mutual love. Later, they have a homecoming party in Lilly's room, with Akira and Hanako. Hanako reveals that she has joined the newspaper club, a welcome sign of her social development.  

Hisao receives a call from Akira to meet her in the park. Akira talks about her resentment toward family, that they were rarely around for her and Lilly. She reveals that, while away, Lilly's family invited her to join them in Scotland. Odds are if she leaves, Lilly and Hisao will be unable to maintain their relationship. Hisao confronts Lilly about this on their date at the Shanghai. Lilly tells him that she plans to leave shortly after summer holidays begin. Hisao realizes how utterly futile their relationship was.  

*Lilly's Route is the only route with a scene where a vast majority of the romanceable girls and Hisao are together: [[Shizune Hakamichi|Shizune]], [[Hanako]], [[Emi]], and [[Rin]].
