Phew, just finished Brass Restoration. Together with some headache laid on a platter waiting
for me to eat .

That visual novel was totally awesome. Verging on epicness(considering it was a free one).
Also, the comedy implemented in this VN was also a plus. Heck, I love how they
reply each other with sarcastic statements. It breaks the norm. (To be truthful, i'm learning the way on how they converse.)


Kouri and Yui's route was both touching and enjoyable at the same time.
Well, since i'm bored perhaps i'll state their personallity out. Don't be confused though,
virtual and reality doesn't go well hand in hand.

"If that was moe, then you expect a 12 year old in goth loli costume swinging a
scythe in reality is moe."
-just a quote from myself



Kouri is an expressive girl and seemed to have this love-at-first sight crush on the main character. Her smile brings joy and delight to anyone despite the plight they are in(for example
when the main character lost his arm and couldn't play the drums anymore, just by looking
at her pure, innocent smile made him optimistic again).
Kouri lacks self confidence in herself in such areas such as cooking and playing the piano
when she can cook and play so well. Which also leads her to apologizing frequently without
considering the main character's feelings(for example, when the main character was at fault,
she apologized and made the main character feel indebted to her as the one apologizing should be
him). Overall, she is an optimistic girl that will do everything for her boyfriend(the main character) including quitting music which she had been learning ever since young.



There are various endings but I personally prefer 2 out of the 6(...I think).
The first one would be the
[Walking with the two of us]
Where the main character was so utterly depressed on how he failed miserably in playing the
drums that he was once so daft in. Kouri, who never once skipped the music club once, without hesitation asked him to go out on a date to cheer him up. After the end of their date, they talked about their problems with each other and solve it(with the power of love; cliche but its touching).
In the end, Kouri confessed her love for the main character a few times and vice versa. Pretty
hard to explain in words the touching scene they shared with one another(since it's supposed to be a brief summary).
The next would be
[The person I like]
From the same storyline as before, it deviates to a different route when I chose an alternate option given. Back to when they main character was depressed and skipped school for a week, Kouri went through different sources to locate his house, and despite the pouring rain, she knocked a few times on the main character's house door. However, he didn't respond to her and continued in his thoughts. The next moment when the knocking stopped, the main character turned over to the side of his bed only to be astonished by a crying girl; Kouri, an expression so sad that it's almost impossible for me to describe(well you get the picture.. somewhat).

They talked for a bit and a had a minor arguement. Solving nothing. However, the main character knows very well on Kouri's well intentions but his emotions got the better of him, making him feel even worse when Kouri kept apologizing as if it was her fault(... nearly teared at this scene). In the end, she gave a kiss to the main character to show her care and concern, also to show how worried she had been over him. She said, "I know you will come back. I'll be waiting for you. Please come see Kouri when you come back. I cannot imagine a life without you"(or something similar to that... well the music does play a part in adding the emotions to the game. This is one of the most touching scenes in the VN). After thinking for a day, the main character decided to return back and visited the music club the day after. He did a formal apology to the whole club whom welcomed him back without criticizing him in any way. The main character decided that he would give up music as a career out of his own will and trust Kouri to play music

for him. On the other hand, Kouri decided that she would be his left hand(the one that he lost in the accident) and play the piano for him. After the soothing sonata performed by Kouri, they

kissed each other passionately and thus concluding the game for Kouri.



The description may be lacking and very vague as the pictures and BGM plays a very important role in the ambience of the VN.



I guess i'll post Yui's route up another day. I feel satisfied for today. Other than the headache.

Thanks for chatting with me today spice, you may not know it but it came at the right time.
Also, to the other peeps concerned of my health, I'll give you all a 15-gun salute!

Alot of people have lack in self confidence. But I have to tell all of you now, be strong and have more confidence in what you do. Sure, it may seem better than being bitchy, but balance is the
key. Let people help you. Those who offer might truely want to help you. Some people feel helpless when they see their friends suffer when they can do nothing y'know?

In any case, i'm getting a little emotional now so. . .


'.' - He's joyful.

'.' - He's tired.

'.' - He's shy.

'.' - He's a she.





With that, I conclude my long post.

*Note: VN : Visual Novel
Moe : Artificial cuteness(hard to explain)
