RANK 1 Yukari takes you to the cafe and brings up her explaining her trauma about her father's death to you that day - apologizing because she realizes it might not have been fair of her to do that. Not everyone reacts the same way to grieving, and you had lost BOTH of your parents. She explains that she's... grateful to know you and have someone else that has that shared trauma - it's difficult to hear people complain about their parents at school, for example.
"But I hate feeling that way, so I hide it... And because I can't tell anyone that, I feel distant..." And after saying she felt like you could save her from that loneliness, she apologizes again.
RANK 2 We go to the flower shop! She says she wants a room full of flowers someday, and asks your favorite - the best options are either energetic sunflowers, roses or geberas.
"Roses seem to have this mature, adult woman feeling to them..." Sunflowers? "Seems about right. They fit you." Tulips? The only one she's meh about; "I thought only elementary school kids liked those. But I gotta admit, they do smell nice." Gerbera? "Oh, I like those too. It's like they're cute, but full of energy too. I like how they come in so many different colors."
Hmm... for my characterization of Hamuko, while there's two options feeding into the idea of her being peppy, I'm picking roses. Big romo doofus.
Her mom used to LOVE flowers and decorate with them all over. She opens up about having a lot of nostalgia for flowers, having mixed feelings about how they'll wither and die but still having love for them in general.
RANK 3
Paulownia Mall! We have to help a kid that was left behind with just some money that's crying and scared. We dig more into Yukari's relationship with her mom... which is, in short, terrible. Apparently after her dad died, her mom was more neglectful and focused more on herself and her 'boyfriends'. Unfortunately, it all sours her mood and the plan to do karaoke drops.
RANK 4
Just like with MC route, a mall trip is interrupted by Yukari's phone call with her mom. Unlike with Minato, though, after going through the frustration of the conversation, you're dragged along for shopping instead of being asked to call off the hangout - presumably it's easier for Yukari to loosen up and be herself around another girl.
RANK 5
The rank where Yukari's wallet is stolen, and she gets confronted at the train station - not any different than it is with Minato aside from the thugs being gross at you too and bystanders actually intervening to call the cops rather than Hamuko beating up thugs (lame). She's still shaking mad at herself for internally asking for help.
RANK 6
Yukari brings us to Wuck to apologize for getting mad and making no sense. She asks if it made you mad. It's more clear that it's about a friendship and trust than Yukari's ability to let herself trust a guy - her dynamic with her gal friend is a lot more open and not as heavily loaded and charged the way her relationship with guys is (based on how she is about her mom)
RANK 7
Oh boy, Yukari brings us out to the strip mall and is complaining about how all the food is fattening. Girl we go climb Tartarus every few nights and run and fight like crazy, you're allowed some treats.
You manage to grab Yukari and pull her out of the way before a car hits her, SHEESH. Our hand got skinned a bit from the tumble, and Yukari notices after being stunned, before yelling at us for helping. "What were you gonna do if you died??" If you shoot the question back at her, she gets frustrated - first saying 'you're our leader' before asking "What would I do if you died? I'm sick of all the people around me dying!" And... sheesh... yeah.... that's only gonna get worse too.
RANK 8
Let's get matching earrings, that'd be cute!! Apparently our ears aren't pierced?? She suggests matching chokers. Just completely non sapphic girl things. Either way, as expected, Yukari's mom calls and interrupts the fun to ask for Yukari's blessing to get married. Unlike with Minato, again, after a stressful conversation she's instead still comfortable to spend time with a gal pal.
RANK 9
Musing on whether the Pheromone Coffee actually has an effect or not. She admits she's thinking about looking for a boyfriend. Her friendship with you made her realize that she could love deeply and wholly, that happy memories matter and help survive and thrive after losing someone... she likes the new 'Yukari', and she's so happy with herself.
RANK 10
Invited to Yukari's room! She asks what music you listen to - any genre seems to amuse her. I picked 'foreign music' since that reflects me IRL too, big fondness for music from all over. After some chatting, she gives you the special phone strap that her dad gave her... talking about how she used to talk to it, how she wants to stop until she feels confident she won't run away from her present, her future and her feelings. She wants to talk with her mom, to reminisce about dad. She decides she'll worry about boys later - it's more fun to girl-talk!
Hangouts
1)'Strawberry rice cake with red beans' so, daifuku? Your favorite is Daifuku, lmao.
2) Going to the media store, Yukari doing what she can within her budget. With me playing NG+ I'm like. Man why can't I buy stuff for my friends here? LMAO. I have millions of yen!! But she asks if you're good at saving money and is impressed if you make an effort.
3) She gets stuck with decision paralysis with the Wakatsu menu. Girl saaaame.... at least we can get both dishes she wants and split 'em both!
