NICE NATURE SPOTTED

Natie! BNW! A strangely poofy and older-looking Mayano!

Wait, if the prize is an all you can eat voucher for the cafeteria, means in this universe, it's not a free all you can eat like the the other medias, how much is Oguri and Spe spending on the cafeteria??

I can't be the only one who laughed hard at this. These early written Hishiama who is more hot blooded and mischevious than she is now is fun to read.

Older and calm Maya probably another example of this being written early during the game's development before the major changes they gave it post delay.

This made me go back and look at the page again, and I noticed that she doesn't even get named. Now I'm kind of wondering if they weren't even yet sure who they wanted her to be, only knowing that she was eventually going to be someone of importance given who she's rooming with and thus deserved a bit more of a unique appearance than the scene-fillers.
