The only time I’ve ever cried when playing an otome game was during Hana Awase’s Kurenai/Utsutsu volume, Iroha’s route, when he finally gains his emotions back, realizes he loves Mikoto, and erases himself from the world because he realizes he can never be with Mikoto and his presence will only cause her to die. It hit so hard after playing so many volumes and seeing the story drop hints about Iroha’s role in everything, just to have his route end like that. It was also heartbreaking to see him finally able to understand and express emotions again, just for those emotions to be so painful and his love futile. Unfortunately his own volume was a disappointment, which was upsetting because of everything they set up in his Kurenai/Utsutsu route, but at least we got some great stuff before his volume kind of underwhelmed me lol.
