I get the feeling that some of this is based from your experiences :P

That's right! I really love starfruit

Nah, just kidding. Well, I do like starfruit, but mostly yeah, in some ways this may be my most autobiographical chapter yet. I have used bits like that in previous chapters as well for various things as well --but since according to this one in-character interview they released way back when Amaki is close to my age and he does have the writing thing, well...

Visual novel, eh? Why does that sound familiar?

I love how Amaki is getting screen time as well. There wasn't enough of him in the game.

I agree; always felt that the minor cast were all pretty interesting in their own right, so I wanted to explore a little of them with these side stories.

And yeah, definitely wanted to get a bit... meta, here.
