well the "about" page on the home site just says its a school for disabled children no real incentive for physical ones only. Besides Hanako would be borderlining that rule if it were.
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

I think I seen it in their forums somewhere but I'm having trouble finding it again, so I may be wrong. Even so, I think just as the blind has their own class, I think the mentally broken would have their own, depending how bad it is. Or something like that anyways.

If you look at Misha, she doesn't seem to have any physical disabilities, but simply to have trouble enunciating some words. Perhaps a mental disability of a sort?

Well it's a school for broken people without broken minds. I'm pretty sure Misha has something else swrong with her. Probably a heart problem, intestinal problems, or something like that. Sort of like Hisao. In Rin's words "On the inside".

Well, a mental disability doesn't necessarily mean a broken mind...

I never said it did. But Misha couldn't have a mental disability. She has to interpret everything that Shizune signs and sign everything everybody else says.

A mental disability does not always hinder the ability to think in a way that would prevent such interpretation.

Her enunciation doesn't matter. It's just the way she is. It comes with the whole heavy workload thing. And having to interpret everything.

[quote=Katawa Shojou Forums]Misha has COLD: Compulsively Obsessive Loudness Disorder. She has a nigh-uncontrollable urge to be loud, and she's learned to turn it into laughter, but it's at the level where she can't function normally. They paired her with Shizune because Misha can be as loud as she wants and it won't bother Shizune a bit. Same way they paired Emi with Rin to get a complete set of limbs between them. And Hanako with Lilly because one girl has horrible problems with being around people because she thinks they're all thinking about how ugly she is, but can feel safe with someone who doesn't see those "ugly" (that is, highly attractive) burns.[/quote]

That's full of win. I've been contemplating donating my pubic hair to make wigs for people with cancer. Maybe Hiseo should do the same for Misha?

It's hard enough correcting you in RL.

You really suck with Japanese names don't you?

I'm sorry Mr. Otaku, but I'm not over obsessed with the Japanese culture like you are. I am Canadian and therefore have no need to learn such things.

*removes glasses*
My favorite is Lilly, if I have not emphasized that enough. Did I spell that right? :P

I figured that Misha's pronunciation had nothing to do with her disability, seeing as how it was only difficult words she had problems with and not every other sentence. Although, I did not realize it was her loudness that was the reason for her being there but it should have been obvious seeing as she definitely lacked volume control.

Well, Rin, followed by Hanako and then Lilly as my top 3.
