They are friends who are locked in a fantasy because they don’t know any better, and cannot crawl from the cave and into the light of the painful world. Rin and Riki are not in a romantic relationship. And, I think even by the time they “elope”, Rin is incapable of figuring out this kind of selfless love needed to succeed.

She has yet to understand what love is all about. But Riki says it again and again, Rin is, at heart, still a kid. Maybe if they learned to help each other out you know, the kind of mature love that a married couple should have instead of her being completely dependent on Riki, they could have actually made something out of it. Then, Kyousuke stands up and declares the game called, as Riki fears him to be the messiah himself, his shirt being torn at the side where Longinus stabbed Jesus, whose blood healed Longinus’ blindness. Kengo, the blue to Masato’s red, the calm and collected kendo god, succumbing to his emotions and letting them control his actions, left me in awe. It was a shock to see him explode the way he did, and basically tackle Kyousuke to the ground in absolute rage the likes of which had yet to be seen in the game by anybody. This is not important, so much as Kengo’s reaction. Riki places no faith in himself and instead has Kengo bat for him, and Kengo sadly misses. For the first time, this web of steel snaps, and the Busters, the very definition of unity to me, is broken. Riki, for some odd reason, believes that getting a home run on Kyousuke will somehow compel him to bring Rin back from the sister school. Masato stands with Kyousuke, though he is incredibly reluctant and upset about it. Kengo stands with Riki against Kyousuke’s plan.

Then we come to the climax of this story. Not for your own gain, but for the happiness of others. To help others, to establish a foundation for life, and to put the needs of others above your own. It was all a game nay, a test, from Kyousuke to his sister and Riki. After a bit of running around, the shadow reveals itself to be none other than Kyousuke, cradling Lennon in his arms in the dark of the night, and speaking of ‘the secret of the world’. We get Rin and Sasami of all people having a spark of understanding as Sasami gives Rin her glove, as Rin’s is torn from obviously going through multiple timelines. One of Rin’s cats is old and Kyousuke espouses to Riki the importance of accepting loss, oddly mirroring the recent loss of my own beloved pet, which ironically Little Busters helped me deal with. He is defeated at every turn, as the Hydra continues to regrow its many sinister heads and blocks his path. I wonder, why is Rin the way she is? Was she born with this inability to communicate to lead, or is it all a result of her past trauma?Ĭontinuing from Rin1, Rin hates going to the new school, and Riki is at a loss for what to do. Thankfully, her violence is restrained to the common route, and her true character is fleshed out during the route. This applies to lots of people, I’m aware, but I just so happened to be one of them. I think she hit me in a low place, representing my faults moreso than my neutral or positive traits. She was physically abusive toward Masato and had nothing to offer my narrative interests that the other characters could not. Rin was admittedly my least favorite character at first.

This cast, moreso than any others, feel so real to me. They are truly like my actual friends, that I care about and miss deeply when they aren’t around. They are more than reflections of myself. I’ve said it before, and it rang true even more when I dove into Rin2: the Little Busters are more than characters than characters to me. Perhaps, as I’ve walked this journey and been pierced with the warm and familiar lances of what it means to be a friend, the character of Rin Natsume, like those of Komari and Kud, has grown on me.
