Character reveal: Hirai - friend or rival?
🕑 Added 2019-06-10 22:00:02 +0000 UTCFor quite a while people have been asking me: will Hiroshi be in Timelapse? Well, obviously the character "Hiroshi" that appeared in PAL wouldn't be in this game, but that doesn't mean that there aren't any trouble-makers in the story.
This is Shuji's (kind of) friend Hirai, who knows about all the women suddenly caught in Shuji's orbit and wants to meet them himself! The question is, how close will you let him get?

I'm impressed at your insight.

Hirai is probably Gainsboro's official chin inspector. Shuji was understandably confused when he was assessed just prior to this scene (hence his weird look), but you have to admit that Hirai is correct if he assumes Shizu has a nice jawline

Rival? The devil, you say! So, obviously the Hiroshi stuff in PAL wasn't for everybody, so the plan with that game and this one has always been to give the player a lot of control over what can and can't happen.

...So, I'mma assume rival, just 'cause of that shirt. Might be closeminded of me, but I struggle to trust a man in *that* button-up, unbuttoned. In a game that kind of frustrated me, I liked Hiroshi in PAF. He was an interesting change. Kind of hoped to see him revisited, but... I can't deny there's some storytelling possibility here? Never did engage with Hiroshi from PAL though.
