11gatsu no Arcadia Part 2: Hattori Airu
Airu is the game's 'fushigi-chan', or a girl who is mysterious/acts oddly. Generally speaking, her role in the earliest parts of the VN is fairly weak, but in the chapter leading up to the split for her route, she suddenly gains density and roundness as a character, and there is a definite sense that she is someone the protagonist might choose over his objective.
Airu's route is a bit less of a depressing wind-down than Nono's is, if only because Airu's relationship to the protagonist is more intimate when the path split does occur. However, just like with Nono's, the second it enters Airu's route, it transforms into a charage route. Which is fine, as i said before... but it is rather obvious that they are making this into a pattern, lol.
Airu's own personal problems are wrapped up intimately in her involvement with the protagonist, both in the main game and in her route, so it lent a sense of empathy to her character that would have been lacking if they'd just gone into her route with less preparation...
