Symphonic Rain: Difference between revisions

 

The story follows Chris, a third-year Fortelle student at Piova Communal School of Music, located in a city that never stops raining. His hobbies include staring blankly at rain, talking to an imaginary fairy that only he can see, and writing letters to his sweetheart, Arietta, who lives in a distant town. It is via one of Arietta's letter that we are first introduced to Chris' plight: With the finals fast approaching, Chris must find a vocalist to partner up with for his final graded performance.

 

There are four different prospective partners (who are all girls, naturally) throughout the story whom he can choose as his vocalist partner. For the easily emotional, [[Utsuge|get a tissue ready]].

{{tropelist}}

* [[Abusive Parents]]: {{spoiler|Grave. Hitting Lise's throat to make her play with good posture and to "punish" her for singing? Damn. Also at the end of Lise's route even after he "allows" Lise to be with Chris, he literally throttles her into what appears to be oxygen deprivation induced brain damage and permanent vocal damage before disowning her to Chris.}}

* [[Ridiculous Procrastinator]]: Chris in regards to finding a partner.

* [[Sanity Meter]]: Though you can't actually influence it, the Piova meter beneath the text box seems to serve as this for Chris. {{spoiler|This is fitting as the constant rain is only Chris's delusion and the rain changes according to his mood.}}

* [[Sex Equals Love]]: {{spoiler|Averted like hell in Fal's route.}}

* [[Sibling Triangle]]

* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: [[Yamato Nadeshiko|Shy and quiet but supportive]] Ari who has no real skills vs the talented, outgoing Torta. Everyone thinks Chris matches with Torta better.

* [[The Woobie]]: Lise. Surprisingly enough, {{spoiler|Torta}} as well, given her {{spoiler|internal monologue in the Al Fine route.}}

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Torta and Ari respectively.

* {{spoiler|[[Twin Switch]]: Torta pretends to be Arietta on occasion.}}

* [[Utsuge]]

* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: Well, both sisters were friends, right? So either choice makes ''one'' of them winners. And Torta seems to be the main heroine...

* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: Played painfully straight in every route. {{spoiler|Except for Phorni's}}. {{spoiler|Though from what Chris knows ''she'' breaks up with ''him.''}}
