Terms
Throughout the game, various terms appear frequently. It's a bit troublesome to explain every term in each scenario, so they're here. One should be familiarized with these terms before reading any scripts. The scenario translations are currently inconsistent in usage of terms (whether the translated or original Japanese should be used). Eventually, this will all be sorted out.
