Hi Zalor, I'm not sure if you'll ever see this response to a post you made in 2017. I see you made a recent blog post in 2021, so maybe you are still active in this forum. Regardless, on the off chance you do see this... I just want to thank you sincerely for taking the time to make this post. I'm sure it took a few hours (probably more) of your time to write something like this up, but you really did impact the enjoyment of Subahibi for me (and so many others! Your Subahibi post alone has 18k views now). I followed a link on reddit.com/r/visualnovels post discussions to your Subahibi post here. I had just finished the EndSky2 ending, and was doing some post-game web-reading to close out the experience. Looking up other peoples posts about their experience in the VN, see some plot interpretations, research anything I may have missed about the endings, etc. I've read hundreds of books and quite a few VNs, but I've never done a "re-read". Your blog post convinced me to re-read Chapter0 (DTRH1), and I'm sooooo thankful I did. It's a very cathartic experience for Zakuro, after what she went through in Ch4. A lot of her dialogue in DTRH1 now makes so much more sense, and it brings me much needed closure for her character. I'm aware of the Zakuro-Kimika ending, but DTRH1 is like the happy "canonical-end-sky-ending" for Zakuro. I greatly encourage anyone whose finished all 3 endings in Subahibi to re-read DTRH1. Pay close attention to what Zakuro says to Yuki near the end of the bar-scene, after Yuki gets done playing the piano (which is another callback to ch4). Anyways, thank you for this Zalor, and I hope your VN journeys continue :)
