how do you get the pink text scenes, is it just purely through low willpower? does it affect anything beyond getting to see the scene without having to use the clear orb?
I thought it would be kind of hot to have the corruption affect her more in roya, which these scenes seem to imply, but I haven't gotten a single one (probably since willpower resets so often if you play without consciously trying to tank it) and the only reason I know it exists is finding it in the clear room
Low willpower and willpower modifiers, most easily achieved with items like vitality potions or sweet memories drug. Alicia "affects" Aura's thoughts and effectively forces her in to the option, as you cannot decline them if the pink option is available. She also tends to exhibit more curiosity and enjoyment of the scene.
There are benefits, yes, as Aura receives generally double what she'd get otherwise in terms of sexual and lewdness increases. For example instead of 1 corruption, she receives two, she'll receive 2 lewdness, or lewd knowledge, or 2 breast sensitivity for example. Effectively the higher these numbers are the easier it'll be to make her perform future actions, especially pink instances.
Lewd Knowledge pink scenes are especially useful as they'll double the magic attack you're gaining from lewd knowledge. Between just two books from Roya's bookstore, you'll get 3 attack, and 4 lewd knowledge for 4 magic attack instead of 2 magic attack.
Some scenes have checks for certain fetishes as well, which are more easily reached by doubling your gains. For example in the refugee camp, the prostitute requires 5 exhibitionism to teach you her stance, which you can have 6 through just 3 interactions on day 3.
If you'd like an early game 'path' to achieve about 5 pink scenes on day 3, just ask. It's good to do imo.
The pink scenes happen when Aura has 0 effective willpower when prompted to accept/decline the scene. So it starts from her nominal willpower as seen in the status screen, and then applies other modifiers, mainly any sensitivities and fetishes that apply to the scene (e.g. Hermann scenes have Cheating) and any applicable Perversions (e.g. But It's So Cute! in any scene where Aura changes clothes).
As for what pink scenes do, other than change the text, they increase (generally double) the Corruption and sensitivity / fetish gains of the scene, and also Lewdness, although each scene has an upper limit to that (e.g. first Hermann scenes won't increase Lewdness to more than 10).
Getting pink scenes takes work at first, but gets easier and easier as Aura gets lewder and has her Willpower affected by more and more curses.
