Kasasagi Shizuku

Shizuku is the student council president, an intelligent young woman who appears strict and unbending but really just interprets matters through her own unique psychological 'lense'. She is the only heroine who doesn't have a past relation to the protagonist before the story begins (one way or the other), and obligingly, her route seems to be the longest of the four heroines other than Ouka.

She also possesses three endings... though two are basically 'normal, nothing happened' endings that avoid the drama of the third one. Her pragmatic nature and tendency to look at herself objectively make her an attractive heroine, and her path reflects that part of her nature, as well as lending her a more human element. I'd say that her raw, moment-to-moment character development is deeper than Reina's, though that is at least in part because Reina and the protagonist are so close from the very beginning.

The pacing of the path and the drama at the end are very well orchestrated, and I was impressed once again at this particular writer's capabilities (also the writer of Tasogare no Sinsemilla). Similar to Reina's story, this also reveals more about the background of the protagonist's abilities and hints at what might be the cause of them, which probably will lead into Ouka's path (since that is the general pattern this writer seems to prefer for true heroines).

An extra Comment

I should note that I really like the music in this game, though it lacks the sheer emotional hammer that games like Chrono Cross and Hapymaher possess. There is a tendency to use hybrid Japanese instruments and classical ones, which results in some really pleasant BGMs.
