I can consider that my VN isn't a flop! Yeah!

RomCom: Divergence is one year old!

Katsumi: "...Everyone is ready?"
                 "...Ahem."

Girls: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

Sayuri: "U-um... Today, one year ago, RCD's very first release came out!"
Sora: "The legendary 0.1.0.0 version!!!"
Maya: "Yeah, don't make me remember that..."
Misaki: "And so we wanted to make you a little surprise..."
             "B-because we're forced to! Alright?! I didn't want to do it!"
Katsumi: "During this first year, we managed to live through three full chapters in addition to the prologue."
Sayuri: "Ah, but we're only days away from the fourth chapter..."
             "So couldn't we count that in?"
Maya: "Or we could've just moved the anniversary a week or two..."
Misaki: "That would put us right into Christmas and New Year territory, though..."
Katsumi: "No, we won't do any of that."
                 "We must remain accurate regarding release count and schedule."
                 "Any irregularity might impact the trust placed in us."
Maya: "You can say that again..."
           "It's not you standing around in the tutorial room all day, waiting for some impatient player who realized he missed the last beach event..."
Sora: "First-year, early release, Misaki-senpai's treasure-thing, public release, Katsumi-senpai's journal-thingy..."
          "Crap! Isn't the schedule way too packed?!"
Katsumi: "Please do not swear, Sora-chan."
Sora: "S-sorry, Senpai!"
          "It's just..."
          "I don't wanna get scolded because we keep sending messages and stuff!!!"
Sayuri: "Ah, it's fine!"
             "I read online that guys actually love getting hundreds of messages per day... if they're from girls!"
Misaki: "I... I'm not sure I want to risk doing that, but..."
             "On the other hand, if I could get away with sending hundreds of ads..."
Maya: "You don't need to worry."
           "Haptales made it so all criticism and bad feedback get forwarded to Sayucchi's mailbox."
Sayuri: "(Sniff)"
             "I'm sorry for deleting your Android saves! (Sniff)"
             "I'm sorry if the pacing was all wrong! (Sniff)"
             "I'm sorry for ruining your immersion and how Misaki-san was treated last chapter! (Sniff)"
             "I'm sorry for making you think the game has NTR in it!!!"
             "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry everyone!!! (Sob)"
Sora: "Uwah!"
          "Please don't cry, Senpai!"
Maya: "Yes, stop trying to garner sympathy by acting all pitiful."
           "You're not getting any closer to first place in the next poll, girl."
Sayuri: "Waaah! (Sob)"
             "Please vote for me! (Sob)"
Katsumi: "...Let's get back on topic."
                 "So, for this first anniversary, we wanted to surprise you, but..."
                 "Sadly, Haptales isn't here, as there is apparently still a lot of work before the early release."
Sora: "W-wait! It's the game's birthday, right?! How come Haptales isn't here?!"
Maya: "Heh."
           "Guess Haptales is the kind of parent who misses their kid's birthday party because of work."
Sayuri: "...The worst..."
Maya: "Welp, if the show's over, I'm heading out."
           "I still gotta deal with all those people asking about creepy Hap-chan."
Misaki: "(Sigh)"
             "Yes, let's cut our losses here..."
Sayuri: "Ah! But before that!"
             "Thank you for playing our game!"
Katsumi: "...Thank you for following our story."
Misaki: "Thank you for your support!"
Sora: "Ah! Um, um...!"
          "Thank you for allowing us to exist!"
Maya: "..."
           "Thank you for having really, really questionable tastes."

Girls: "THANK YOU!"
