The song "Apology" by Waiting for Iris is a heart-wrenching ballad about regret and apology. The lyrics are infused with a sense of longing and pain, and they speak of a relationship gone wrong. The singer is apologizing to their partner for leaving them, perhaps without explanation, and asking for forgiveness. Despite their attempts to move on, they cannot forget the other person, and they express a desire to be together again.
The first verse sets the tone for the song, with the singer acknowledging that their partner has been waiting for them, even though they had left. They then plead with their partner not to see them as foolish, and to trust that they will be faithful forever. The second verse speaks of the pain of separation, with the singer expressing regret for not being able to communicate effectively with their partner. The chorus is a repeated apology, with the singer asking for forgiveness and hoping that the other person can move on.
The song is a poignant reminder of how difficult it can be to reconcile after a breakup, and how hard it is to let go of the past. It is also an affirmation that sometimes an apology is all that is needed to heal old wounds and move forward.

7:02 If only the characters knew the circumstances Date was in...
15:34 To be fair, she was distracted trying to find a way out, but, still funny. 😂
29:39 Johne...
33:14 I mean...Date did bring Mizuki in here, and she was only 12.
56:51 I couldn’t help but think of that kid from that “I have the powers of God and anime on my side” meme.
59:48-1:02:42 I’m surprised nobody was alerted by all the ruckus going on here. The rain must be pouring down hard.

Ouch, Ota didn't even get friend zoned, he straight up got family zoned.

One thing i wish there was an explanation of Pewter's and Renju's relationship. I'm really interested in it and it's mentioned and swept under a rug.
SyberiaWinx
Same here! Fanfics are all we have, sadly.
AruB
* thinks about how pewter's love for renju might've been one-sided if renju's really just taking advantage of him *
* thinks about the mizuki route where renju died *
* thinks about how devastated pewter might've felt when he learned that he was dead *
* starts sobbing * this is fine
SyberiaWinx
I mean, Renju, who rarely got mad, blew up at Date over him spilling beer on the watch Pewter gave him, resulting in a physical fight. He also said the watch was more important to him than his life.
AruB
@SyberiaWinx Yeah, i rewatched some playthroughs and realised it. Somehow the fact that renju and pewter were genuinely in love with each other makes it even sadder :((
