Hmm... so, I haven't checked in for a while but perhaps I can find my answer now.

What are the Retaining Eyes?

It just never made sense to me, for him to be bestowed his snake on a previous route for it to reemerge in the next. Does it not exist until Shintaro is born? Did the Retaining Eyes ever belong to Azami, and why wouldn't she have remembered any previous route if it did belong to her? If they never belonged to Azami then where did they come from? What happens to the past route's Retaining Eyes when the current route reaches a bad end and Marry bestows it to him again? Are there actually two Retaining Eyes each route? Is that the meaning behind Route "XX"? Two of the same variable?
