Left Behind

Left Behind is one of the 22 possible routes for episode 5 in the visual novel. It is one of three episodes to follow The One I Truly Love, the others being Getting Over It and Blocked Number. It is also one of four episodes to follow Unacknowledged Feelings/Partner for the Festival/The Same Feelings, the other three being The Charm's Effect, The Indecent Kiss, and The Heart Wants.

In this episode, Makoto begins regretting his inability to be physically close to Kotonoha, and is conflicted about his feelings for Sekai.

Route
Getting Left Behind for chapter 5 depends heavily on which route you're coming from. Regardless of how you get to Left Behind, the subsequent path merges into A Christmas Invitation.

First Experience
There are two ways to get Left Behind on this route:
 * At the pool, accept Sekai's offer of comfort at the pool by caressing her breasts. Afterwards, she will suggest that the two of you should return to her home to have sex. If you accept her offer, after sex, she will walk you to the train station. Once there, she will ask you to kiss her. If you decline this offer, you will get Left Behind.
 * Alternatively, you can decline Sekai's offer of comfort altogether by not caressing her breasts. Afterwards, if the bar favors Sekai, you will get Left Behind (if the bar favors Kotonoha, you will get The Charm's Effect instead).

The One I Truly Love
To get Left Behind on this route, you will need the bar to be close to the middle going into the chapter. If the bar is on Sekai's side following the pool trip and you did not caress her breasts during the scene, you will get Left Behind.

This episode can be tricky to set up, as the bar will be on Kotonoha's side coming from The One I Truly Love into this chapter; and you will only have one opportunity to move the bar towards Sekai. Furthermore, if in the process of moving the bar toward Sekai you choose to caress her breasts, you will get Getting Over It instead.

If for any reason the bar is on Kotonoha's side following the pool trip, you will get Blocked Number instead.

Getting Over It is another possible outcome for chapter 5 on this route; but it is interchangeable with Left Behind, with only a minor scene difference at the end of the chapter. It otherwise has no impact on the route.
