"Piece Of Wonder - Vol.2"
 
I must say that this game does present intriguing storylines.
 
As mentioned in an earlier post, there was a conundrum regarding the interaction between the main character (the male lead - Kazuya) and one of the girls.
 
That particular course of events and resolution involved, in general, choosing the dialogue options which are kind, caring, nice and polite... dialogue options which I myself would normally choose (okay.. okay.. stop laughing already!) The upside though, taking this path through the game provides by far the easiest way of completing as far as the difficulty of combat is concerned.
 
You may note that I exercise the utmost care not to mention specifics just in case anyone else who reads this actually plays the game.
 
Well, having resolved that thread some time ago - I turned to explore the relationship with another character - Raki.
 
Note that it's interesting how she writes her name in kanji:



A rather nice name for a girl !


Oh, did I mention that she's also an android. A comely female one, to be more descriptive.




Aloof and imperious, she is introduced in rather unlikely circumstances (that's just mildly putting it)
and regards the main character with condescending sarcasm, as evident from her dialogue.

Case in point:
In class:
Raki notices when the guy, as usual, wakes up on the last bell.
"You sleep more than my data indicates you would."
 

"That's because day by day, we humans get a little bit better at what we do."
- I must say that's one of the best responses that could be given. This main character really seems up to the task, I'm happy to note! ^_^

"Human beings can also become weak and lazy."
 
"........."
 
Guess you just can't win against the cold logic of a superior intelligence (read: woman) that is out to chop up your puny little fragile male ego into itsy little pieces before thoroughly incinerating it!



Generally, to explore further the relationship with Raki involves choosing the 'mean' dialogue options with the other girls (oh how my heart bleeds!)
 
The downside is that the battles are much harder.
 
But it's all worth it, as the story culminates to a nail-biting climax...................



 





..............which resolves to a unexpectedly romantic ending.
 
The ending dialogue and the background music reinforce the atmosphere, but as I've mentioned before, you can't turn on both at the same time on my PC.
 
So there you have it, this story path gives the same satisfaction of wading through 26 episodes of a standard anime RABU SUTORII .
 
 
 
 
 
Now, excuse me while I continue probing the possibilities of a fulfilling relationship with a certain comely female android.
