ohmygod mytheory is coming true ohno (Jørgen's update.)
Lets rewrite that absolute mess of a comment I made 10 days ago:
I'll rewrite this AGAIN once I finish reading Dawn Chorus..... and re-read it.
'We're ships at sea, drifting in all directions.'
'The wind blows relentlessly, pulling us apart.'
'One moment I share with you, the next moment we're almost strangers.'
'Is genuine connection ever really possible?'
This is the intro for Dawn Chorus, which I think this is future Arvo's writing. What I think I know is that these poems are canonically made by Arvo, which can be seen in Rune's Day 4 on the bus. However, if Arvo did write this before the science camp, Mikko's route would be the canon route (I don't actually believe this to be the case, there's lots of evidence saying otherwise).
There are two major symbols (I might be missing some), those being the eagle that Arvo took a picture of near the beginning of Day 1, and Saturn by the end of Day 1. The eagle, also being the main logo for Dawn Chorus (I think so, at least), commonly represents strength or courage. It could have a different meaning for the VN. I'm not too sure what it connects to yet, but all I've got is that when you sit with Lake on Day 1, they mention about not seeing much in it, and it being rather ominous. Saturn can either mean responsibility, or time. Time is the most likely, in my opinion. This circles back to the intro poem; 'One moment I share with you, the next moment we're almost strangers.' Everybody has their own lives, and sometimes, life gets in the way.
You can probably connect the dots by now. That being every character will eventually have to break up with Arvo in some shape or form. The first proper mention of this is Jørgen's update, being that he plans to move away eventually.
Hurt or to be hurt. I don't really have a comment on this, but it is a reoccurring theme in the characters. This might be in relation to the characters breaking up.
---
I want to try to guess how each character is going to have to go. Take this with a grain of salt, this is merely just me having fun at theorising. This is in the order of the character selection:
Rune: I'm not too sure, to be honest. He became happier with his current life, being who he is. His home is Norway, he lost his opportunity to go to Japan, so anything could happen, really. This is a stretch, but this one might have to be broken up by Arvo himself.
Lake: I don't know what, but I have a strong feeling that this was written more as a happy story so the ending can hit harder.
Mikko: My only theory is that either Arvo gets too scared to continue a relationship between him and Mikko, running away again, or they both can't sustain the relationship, and make a mutual agreement between the two so they leave peacefully.
Bjørn: One out of the four routes I didn't do yet.
Torulf: One out of the four routes I didn't do yet.
Jørgen: Moving away.
Devon: One out of the four routes I didn't do yet.
Klaus: One out of the four routes I didn't do yet.
