Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Fading Hearts is a Ren'Py-based ren'ai Visual Novel release by the Canadian indie V/N group Sakura River Interactive, in 2009.The story revolves around Ryou, an Ordinary High-School Student, and his two best friends Claire and Rina, living in Trident City in Sorayama. It starts out in a classic Love Triangle scenario: Ryou likes Claire while Rina has feelings for Ryou; however they still manage to hang out together as usual friends would.The story involves Ryou doing anything he can to help his friends. He learns that Claire's new boyfriend is potentially verbally abusing her while Rina's behaviour becomes increasingly evasive, which leads Ryou to wonder what Rina is keeping from them. Through interactions with other characters, Ryou can gain more insight into not only his friends but other happenings in the city as well.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })All the while this is going on Ryou has been having dreams/visions of a past life as a prince with magical powers, living in a kingdom where magic exists and is used from everyday tasks to tournaments. The first scenario is a vision of the prince surrounded by his ex-servants, clutching to himself a sword passed down from his family for generations. Ryou eventually gains magical powers of his own and not only wonders what he should do with his newfound skills but how he should regard Mystica, a Magical Girl Warrior who constantly reminds Ryou of his priorities.In 2014 Fading Hearts was released on Steam. | |

Secret Identity: Rina as Mystica. Keeping this from Ryou and Claire takes a toll on her; she feels increasingly isolated from the group, especially if Ryou doesn't spend time with her. Also, Tracy as "The Player." | |

Jerk Justifications | |
| Fading Hearts (Visual Novel) / int_15a4103a | comment |
Jerk Justifications: Claire falls into the Type 1 category word-for-word when she starts turning into a Dark Magical Girl in her Downer Ending. This is also why she is always so strict with Ryou: : she was scared that his kindness would always be taken advantage of and leave him broken, and wanted to toughen him up. | |

Millennium Bug | |
| Fading Hearts (Visual Novel) / int_313598b7 | comment |
Millennium Bug: In this universe, Sorayama was apparently the only country that did nothing to prevent the bug for some strange reason. This apparently led to a minor apocalypse with a massive death toll and even included such laughably inaccurate results as planes crashing. The game being made in 2009 makes this even more hilariously bad, since the game can't even fall back on the excuse of being made before 2000 and basing itself on the speculation of the time period. Alternate History could be at work here. | |

I Don't Want to Ruin Our Friendship | |
| Fading Hearts (Visual Novel) / int_4100c67e | comment |
I Don't Want to Ruin Our Friendship: Ryou is aware that Rina stays quiet about her feelings for Ryou since she knows he likes Claire, thinking it will put a strain on their friendship if she confesses to him. Coincidentally, Ryou won't tell Claire the reason why he won't accept Rina when she presses the issue, since she is going out with someone else. Claire doesn't tell Ryou her feelings since she is aware of Rina's, and feels Rina is a better match for him due to their mutual past. | |

Reincarnation: Ryou seems to have been a prince with magical powers in a past life, as Ryou keeps having visions of him. In Claire's Downer Ending, Ryou is given another chance to save her by acquiring the sword he has seen the prince with, and goes back in time with it. The dreams/visions and manga also hints that some of the other characters are reincarnations as well. The complete list is as follows: The Prince: Ryou (natch) First Seed: Claire Last Seed: Rina Ai the Magic Researcher: Tracy Prophet's Daughter: Sophia | |

The Reveal | |
| Fading Hearts (Visual Novel) / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: There are several of these: In one scenario Ryou is magically battling against Mystica. Depending how he uses his spells ( hint: only use "Dispell") he can potentially have Mystica temporarily lose her powers, revealing her true identity as Rina. In another scenario, Ryou hears of a car colliding with an unknown entity, killing the driver instantly. He later finds out the source: Claire. She eventually gave up hope on the world, thus establishing her status as a Dark Magical Girl. From Bad to Worse. Alex eventually tells Ryou he is an ex-member of the Wings of Light. "The Player" emailing Ryou advice on how to win over girls is Tracy, the Meido from the Cosplay Café, as revealed by Alex to Ryou. While Ryou and Mystica are fighting the source of the shadow monsters, it is revealed to actually be Sophia as a Dark Magical Girl disguised as a high-level creature. She is the Reincarnation of the prophet's daughter whom the prince (Ryou) fell in love with, gifted the earrings to, and ran away with near the end of Royal Guard Life. See Dark Magical Girl above. | |

Did Not Get the Girl: There is an ending if Ryou chooses neither Claire nor Rina. This is lampshaded by Alice and Mimi, wondering if he had another choice in mind. If the players of the game pay attention to Sophia and read all of Royal Guard Life they will realize he did, and then this trope takes on a whole new meaning. | |

Sole Survivor: An ending where Ryou has an Oh, Crap! moment when a shadow monster breaks down his door and he sees a huge magical symbol hovering over Trident City. He flees the city, fighting shadow monsters along the way. When he escapes and looks down upon the city, it is now a flaming inferno. | |

Oh, Crap!: There are quite a few: Ryou literally exclaims this when a shadow monster breaks down his door and he sees a magical symbol over the city outside of his window during the Sole Survivor ending (below). If Ryou is imprisoned in the cabin by Mystica, he realizes he will miss the fireworks festival with Rina. When Ryou thinks he is going to be killed by Claire. | |

Never Lend to a Friend: Claire bluntly asks Ryou if he could lend her one hundred dollars, which he eventually does. This is subverted since the money is never mentioned again but is likely meant to have the player of the game question if Claire's Jerkass boyfriend is involved. | |

While Ryou and Mystica are fighting the source of the shadow monsters, it is revealed to actually be Sophia as a Dark Magical Girl disguised as a high-level creature. She is the Reincarnation of the prophet's daughter whom the prince (Ryou) fell in love with, gifted the earrings to, and ran away with near the end of Royal Guard Life. See Dark Magical Girl above. | |

RPG Elements | |

RPG Elements: The more manga Ryou reads the more magical spells he learns. Incidentally, the more shadow monsters he fights in the forest, the higher the skill level he attains in using his spells. In a more roundabout way this also applies to any acquired knowledge he gains from general reading, and how often he works for the companies contracting him for his programming services. | |

My Future Self and Me: In the scenario where Mystica or Ryou has to kill Claire, Ryou is given the sword to go back in time to fix his mistakes. In future plays of the game, when Ryou goes to the park at night, "Meta-Ryou" introduces himself to himself. Meta-Ryou proves himself by telling Ryou information about Claire and Rina that only they would know and leaves a cut on Ryou's sleeve from the sword, leaving physical proof that Ryou is not dreaming. From then on, Meta-Ryou gives him advice whenever requested. | |
