Much like Miu's route I felt that Ai's route was a total rollercoaster ride of emotions. The one thing that I didn't like about her route however was that compared to the other girls route, hers seemed to be very short so I felt she got kind of ripped off in that aspect. That said I am not going to say that her story was bad and in fact quiet the opposite.
Ai's character is based off the Cheshire Cath of Alice in Wonderland. She is usually heard before seen due to her cat bell that she wears at her waist. She is also very cat like with her whims, desire to nap most of the time, and her inhuman like agility and reflexes. She claims to be Takaya's 'Older Sister' though he doesn't understand why she says that.
It is of course hinted at and later confirmed that they do in fact have a past together and that past is the bases for her story and the plot that ultimately will pull at your heartstrings when it comes to Ai.
Ai at first doesn't see herself as a girl that Takaya would find interesting or attracted too, but after the Culture Festival he eventually comes clean about how he feels for her and that leads them entering into a unique relationship. The moment he confesses she practically does what she can to satisfy him sexually.
Ai tries to get Takaya to have more fun and to expand his horizon and to spend time with her when possible. Of course these leads to a lot of sexual encounters and also led me to realize that apparently 'tit jobs' are a big thing in Japan...not sure why but I don't judge.
The rollercoaster ride however happens sooner rather than later, eventually Ai begins to fade but only slightly and then goes back to normal, people then also start to forget about her and then remember her suddenly. It isn't until Takaya forgets about her for a moment that he realizes something is wrong and begins trying to get her to tell him what it is. Of course she refuses at first.
The up's and down's continue, but they all come ahead after Takaya forgets about her completely as well as everyone else. It isn't until he goes through his computer drawer and finds a couples rings with the inner band of one having 'Ai' engraved in it that his memories of her come rushing back.
Upon remembering everything he finds Ai at Starfall Hill and it is here she begins to finally fade away completely. Ai believes that she is nothing more than a 'shooting star' that comes in for a short time and then leaves just as fast. Because of this belief she is fading, however she isn't a shooting star. In reality she is the embodiment and reincarnation of Aisha.
Aisha was a cat that belonged to Takaya and his family for many years and spent most of its time with Takaya due to his frail body and weak immune system. She stayed by his side and was always around when he would tell stories about the stars and many other fantasies and fairy tails. One day Aisha would leave the family home and pass away. She believed that she would be reborn in the stars and so she was.
At the end with the assistance of a Divine Being that had watched over all that had happened, Ai was returned back to the world and allowed to stay with Takaya. The ending of this route has the two leaving Takaya's home as they go to reintroduce her to Takaya's friends. Despite Takaya remember her and everything that happened prior to her fading, the others did not remember anything about her.
Ai's route was shorter than the others, with maybe the exception of Madori's. Despite that and the rollercoaster ride of emotions, I can say that her story was pretty good. I do wish that they could have done her story a bit more like Miu's and push things a little more forward to bring some more closure to their story but at the same time I guess I can see why they didn't.
I also enjoyed how this one does talk more about Takaya's past and things that happened to him to make him lose heart in fairy tails and so on. It also touches more as to what it is that caused the worlds to merge slightly and why things are happening the way they are.
All in all Ai's route was good but short, and full of sexual H-scenes which we all enjoy!
