Confused about something in Misae's route??

[hayden]

So, this is like the first "route" ive ever done in clannad so far. everything with the misae route seemed fine until she turned me down saying she was waiting for another boy whatever and couldnt fall in love again. so im not sure if this was a bad ending or something. Im just confused can anyone help clear things up for me?

Yeah, you got yourself a bad end. You need to pick three specific options in the three-part choices that came before that ending ("How you scold", "How you worry" and "How the inside of your futon smells" (yeah, that's the right one). Doing so will lead to roughly the same route (use the "skip already read" option) that then splits off into a longer story.

Sidenote: It is a good idea to do Misae's route before Tomoyo's route, as Misae's light orb can be found in Tomoyo's route after you've done Misae's route (you REALLY want to get all of them, for reasons). Also, don't be afraid to use a guide when you don't know what to do next. The routes can definitely be rather difficult to navigate.
