History Headscratchers / CrushCrush

->'''[[{{Yandere}} Ayano]]''': Wow! I [[BlatantLies jokingly]] pulled a katana on Fumi and she had a retractable one in her glove. You'd better be polite to her, Senpai!
-> '''Fumi''': My instincts are telling me my life is in danger. How disturbing. I cannot discern who could pose such a threat.

It's out of character for her as she seems to prefer the MC above all else (and there's no weapons as gifts). The Hobby requirements in contrast are rather justified in that you're dealing with a homicidal Yandere.

Is the implication that she's a dime a dozen Russian knockoff? That's what I took from it.

[[If Alpha is supposed to be a Hatsune Miku knockoff, why does the voice update give her a Russian accent?]]

* Devs didn't feel like it? Pamu and [[spoiler:The Dark One]] [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] their creators' laziness sometimes. Plus, the player is only apologizing for a couple of relationship stages. Changing the button display for them may not have been worth the effort.

* Actually, there is a possible explanation. As Fumi's from the future, assuming she was supposed to travel back in time, it's possible that Ayano's exploits got recorded in history (that might seem like SkewedPriorities on the part of historians, but as this game has flowers that cost more than earrings, so it's not entirely out of the question).

Why do you have to apologize to Nutaku and Ayano? As far as the player knows, they haven't done anything to the latter, and in the case of the former, it should be the other way around.

Fumi was openly attacked by Ayano, and yet she doesn't know Ayano is the one who attacked her. How can this be? ''[[NoodleIncident What happened?]]'' Speculations go on the WMG page.

Fumi was openly attacked by Ayano, and yet she doesn't know Ayano is the one who attacked her. ''[[NoodleIncident What happened?]]''

Since Fumi has asked for advice on [[BiTheWay 'her own outings']] with the player's harem, it's possible that's she's gone on quite a few dates with Ayano herself. Of course, considering Ayano's SingleTargetSexuality for Senpai, that wouldn't deter her from trying to take Fumi out (it might even have been her motivation from going out with her in the first place, to get closer to her), but it ''might'' throw off Fumi's instincts enough to dismiss her as a potential threat.

Even if Ayano's MaskOfSanity is resilient enough to last through however many dates it takes to fool Fumi's first impression, Fumi should have been able to see Ayano's face during the [[NoodleIncident Katana Incident]], and Fumi should have been able to revise her first impression of Ayano accordingly.

Perhaps Fumi didn't see Ayano's face during the [[NoodleIncident Katana Incident]] but that seems unlikely for the following reasons. Regardless of whether Ayano and Fumi fought or just stood in a two-person MexicanStandoff, katanas are melee weapons, so the gals were definitely close enough to see each others' faces. Even if Ayano wore a literal mask (like she can do in ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator''), [[GogglesDoSomethingUnusual Fumi's glassware scanners can see through the mask]].

Given the previous reasons, how could Fumi not see Ayano's face? Did Fumi [[FailedASpotCheck fail all her spot checks]]? Did she lose or turn off her glassware scanners just before the attack? Did she [[WakeUpFighting fight Ayano off while sleeping]]?

If Fumi really did see Ayano's face, how could Ayano throw suspicion off of herself afterwards? Maybe Ayano started ObfuscatingStupidity the moment she [[SensingYouAreOutmatched realized that Fumi was about to]] CurbStomp her. Maybe Ayano tried to [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident make it look like she was]] [[DontSneakUpOnMeLikeThat spooked into attacking]].

With Fumi coming from the future, there seem to be numerous things she doesn't immediately grasp about the time she's in now. When Ayano realized she was about to get sliced to bits, she could've used this to her advantage and said something along the lines of, "[[PuppyDogEyes Senpai, what are you doing?]] This is a [[BestHerToBedHer Love Duel]]! Do they not have these anymore in your future?" If so, Fumi could've taken the incident as a compliment and sign of Ayano's affection, with the whole thing even ending up as a RelationshipUpgrade in her mind.

FridgeHorror: Ayano doesn't just pull a katana on Fumi once, [[BullyingADragon she attacks multiple times]]. If Ayano keeps using the "[[BestHerToBedHer Love Duel]]" lie, eventually, Fumi will [[DateRape try to take Ayano to bed]] right after a fight, [[FawltyTowersPlot thinking that's what]] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Ayano was asking for]]. Given Ayano's SingleTargetSexuality for the player character, [[QuestionableConsent she wouldn't want it even if she decides to play along]], AndThatsTerrible. Even if Fumi considers Ayano JailBait (perhaps due to different standards in the future), [[DateRape the fiasco]] would only be [[JailBaitWait delayed]]. [[RapeAndRevenge Once it happens, Ayano's going to be even more motivated to kill Fumi]]. Bonus FridgeHorror: If being raped gives Ayano an opportunity to finally kill Fumi (either [[OutWithABang during]] or [[SlainInTheirSleep after]]), would Ayano consider the incident WorthIt? Or would she then proceed to [[IfICantHaveYou kill the player character]] and [[DrivenToSuicide herself]] because she's DefiledForever?

If Fumi really did see Ayano's face, how could Ayano throw suspicion off of herself afterwards? Maybe Ayano started ObfuscatingStupidity the moment she [[SensingYouAreOutmatched realized that Fumi was about to]] CurbStomp her, and then ran off to do a secret TrainingMontage at the first opportunity.
