Time to dust this one off:

Katawa Shoujo: I read Iwanako's letter, which prompts a lot of introspection from Hisao. I get to spend more time with Rin and I can understand her troubles with trying to communicate things. When the art teacher Nomiya returns to get Rin to put up her images in an art gallery, Rin admits to Hisao that change scares her. Her pained expression and her admittance of her fear is enough for me to try and hug her despite being an image on my laptop and then reassuring her that she's going to be okay.
When it's time to choose my dialogue options, I decide to go with telling her that it's not like her to hesitate. I made a seperate save file so I can try out all 3 decisions and accepted the possibility that I might be getting the bad ending for this Rin playthrough.
