Spoiler: click to toggle Should have clarified. My mental picture of the way the events in Heavenly Host go something like this First Sachiko Ever After Charm -> Enter Heavenly Host-> Multiple disconnected fates (Imagine this part as a massive ball of lines just wrapped around and between each other)-> Appeasement of Sachiko-> True End In terms of an image it looks kinda like this.  The issue I have with the loop idea is that it requires there to be an order of the loops for memories to be built up by that method. Since Heavenly Host doesn't really pay attention to whether Loop1 occurred before Loop2, I never really liked that way of understanding it. BTW is that perpetual motion thing a reference to my fic?
Spoiler: click to toggle Well, you dont really have deja vu everyday do you? Plus who knows... we can't actually say that how many loops have been entered... its possible that one of those loops have one remembers and that does not (Who knows... maybe there is one loop that Kizami does good before dying *possible?* and then we have everybody loves yoshiki *possible haha*)
They dont remember it all... of course because the whole thing is reset-ed... though there are residuals that fade away due to many resets.
Besides There is a BGM named "Escaping Samsara" (or reincarnation if im right... you dont remember your last last reincarnation right? Just a bit of those memories...and sometimes probably nothing)
Perpetual motion? I was already into it when i built my loop theory about after i learned the loopings (of course there should be a reason why the heavenly host needs to loop...)

Spoiler: click to toggle I thought it was similar to the way the "restarts" in Fate/Hollow Atraxia worked. Long story short, the way that the "restarts" of the F/HA worked was via an item called the Holy Grail that was mean to recreate True Magic(i.e. a method of bringing about an effect that is not replicable by technology or nature.(Magecraft is merely an alternative method of bringing about an effect and can be replicated either by technology or a natural effect.)) The third magic functions via granting corpreal existence to the soul. According to the lore of Nasu-verse the soul and body are connected, however, once the body ceases to function the soul loses its corpreal hold in the world and evaporates. The ability for a person to function is provided by the soul (e.g. a person who has no soul would be a vegetable). Thus, the soul powers a person's body while the body prevents the soul from disappearing. Providing a physical to a soul would create an immortal being, thus they become a theoretical perpetual motion machine as the soul can continue existing without a body. Therefore they can cause "effects" or "human actions" in the world without a body. As the Holy Grail is only a replication it only has a fraction of this ability. However, this was enough to create the Hollow Atraxia. A continual restart/recreation of the town of Fuyuki over four days. This was built in order for the existence that was in the grail to experience what it never had lost (i.e. a normal life). The way this functioned was after the four day the memories and feelings of the people are "stored" either in the Grail or in the character's subconsciousness. Each new repeat thus has all the starting pieces but each person has additional information that was gathered "sometime" during the four days. Thus, promises made on two separate repeats are remembered. However, the characters themselves do not actually remember "when" these promises were made and the actual "when" is actually unknown. The only thing they know is "something like that happened" but when and where that promise or those events occurred are unknown. A good example of this is the date promises that Shirou can make with the heroines of F/SN. Even if you can only make a promise on day 2 with a certain heroine you can act on that promise on day 1 of any loop once that promise is made. What I think is happening is that Corpse Party is a little bit more meta than you think. The candles that are used as save points function as the "Grail" in Corpse Party. Their memories or rather their "self" is preserved every time they come in contact with them and the player's knowledge of what caused them to have to restart guides them to the correct path. This of course comes without their knowledge so the characters probably feel that their movements are coming from their own consciousness. After all, all the routes and paths in the game are likely to be taken by the characters (i.e. there was no breach of character no matter what route they took). Spoiler: click to toggle My personal theory is that Ayumi is involved, but probably not this Ayumi. The candles are placed by her and we know she has the ability "Psychometry" which is the ability to take in high quality data of things, places, emotions, or events via touch. As Ayumi has already once come in contact with the Book of Shadows and gained control over it, it isn't too hard to imagine a different Ayumi managed the same a long time into the future along a different route. Not to mention "Fact Loop" (the spell that allows one to re-do events) comes from the Book of Shadows itself. Other things that made me reach this conclusion was the weird timing Ayumi showed up to stop Naomi from confronting Yuu about Seiko.

Spoiler: click to toggle Hmm...there are some lines i dont get...
-- Those Ayumi-imbued candles Made a record of their life? But how bout people who died and got stucked in their fate but came in contact with the candle (e.g Seiko) -- Sachiko knows the looping as if it was "a part of the mechanism of HH"... -- Sure She touched BoS.. but that was after she knew Naomi going to . if this was Ayumi with vague memories, why did she not preparw at all Can it just, Ayumi was there because Naomi had the most damage considering she lost Seiko? Satoshi Yuka and Yoshiki can be calm on their own. -- Ayumi has low MP yet as described by BoS... take a look at Sachiko... it killed her soul... she didnt even have to sacrifice her existence for that... how could Ayumi herself cast Factloop over and over with low MP.. Sachiko (Red) can cause she has perpetual motion energy source from HH.. Darkening -- Psychometry is extracting info bout an item... but tha doesnt mean you can replicate its effects... even if its possible, Ayumi doesnt have the mp to do that yet...
Can you explain a little more.... Im okay with Stein's Gate like theory but lots of paradox occurs in your explanation (at least that what i percieve...for now)
if anything, youre telling me that Ayumi is doing the loop... Not Sachiko...unconciously...paper sachiko scraps lose also its meaning with that theory

Your text was a bit hard to get, but I think this may answer some of your questions.
Spoiler: click to toggle It's a literal save point. "They can restart their fate from those candles" was my theory. As for why Seiko, Mayu, Morishige, and Yui never got saved in them... the only answer to that is they never touched or ran into them in the first place. Morishige isn't shown running into any candles, and I think it was Naomi that commented on the candles not Seiko (can't check at the moment). Mayu simply never had time to run into the candles before she was killed and I don't think Yui was able to run into any candles either. (More on why only the survivors were able to interact with the candles) The save points and the paper charms are not mutually exclusive. I'm not invalidating the paper charm theory. It's like a backup in a sense. If your main system breaks down, the back up can prevent it from totally failing but it's not as good as the main one. I'm not saying the candles are a back up, merely that having your paper charm doesn't fix your fate. Using the candle allows you to explore more opportunities within your fate(s).
I'm not saying Ayumi is the sole reason for the restarts, I'm saying she's the reason for the save points. My theory is that she "restarted" at Heavenly Host because of its distorted perception of time. By trying out enough outcomes she may have kept more people alive than in her own .
The Ayumi in BoS Ch.BloodDrive suddenly appearing near Naomi was odd to me, but if she is the Ayumi I'm thinking of then maybe there was a reason for her sending herself there.
Ayumi's low spiritual ability doesn't allow her to cast magic with her own resources. However, Hinoe's death shows that the "cost" of a magic can be supplied by others. It is possible to cast magic beyond your ability by using someone else as a resource. Kiriya Mist, Midzuki Magari, and the Grave of Maltuva in general have often been shown using other humans as resources for their magic.
I'm not entirely sure if Heavenly Host is a perpetual motion machine. I think the line you're thinking of was the circle of hatred described a couple times where the hatred of the dead to the living created even more curses as more and more people die there. That's not a perpetual motion machine but a snowball effect. Additionally, I'm not saying Ayumi (I refer to her as AYUMI much like Archer is sometimes written as EMIYA) is responsible for the restarts in Heavenly Host. She is just the save function of the game.
Psychometry is extracting info about an item, however, "fact loop" is a magic that recreates an event. The ability of the magic diminishes as time passes from the event. My theory is that the reason for this is the decay of information available to recreate the event. If psychometry is able to provide the necessary information to fill in the blanks of the recreation then the two combined could restart an event a long time ago in the past.
Finally the major reason I think that AYUMI exists is the caravela that Sachiko was wearing. This indicates that Hysteric Birthday was an event that had occurred. Additionally, this suggests that the PC-98 version of the game is a possible version of the events of Corpse Party. If these two are considered events that could have occurred within the Corpse Party universe, what about the OVA Tortured Souls?
At the end the only two survivors are Ayumi and Naomi. Afterwards, we see that Naomi is going just as insane as she was in Book of Shadows. Without Satoshi and co. to help them (Yoshiki apparently came to visit Ayumi a number of times both in and out of the hospital after BoS Ch. Blood Drive) and knowing that Ayumi does have the ability to be very spiteful towards Naomi (and it was Naomi that Satoshi gave his paper scrap to that ended up killing him) I think Ayumi from Tortured Souls took a very different path to the Ayumi during Blood Drive (the game)
I think AYUMI is the adult or witch form of Ayumi from Tortured Souls. She either found the Book of Shadows by herself or with the help of others and initiated an attempt to re-do the events of her past. The resources may or may not have been gained from other people or she may have grown her own ability to the extent she could do it herself (as Heavenly Host indicates it is possible to increase one's spiritual ability via external methods or through effort(if my definition and mechanism of Spiritual Energy is correct then AYUMI should have quite a lot of spiritual energy, although whether she is equal to Sachiko is questionable.))

Spoiler: click to toggle -- I was writing after Marathoning Log Horizon 1 to Log Horizon 2 ep 12 haha...  --AYUMI... EMIYA... HAHA...  hello capital letters... AYUMI must be a badass witch by then haha... So Meta... -- Ok maybe perpetual motion isnt the right word... true... but i was thinking HH can resuply itself by looping and rekilling everyone for more despair  while waiting for more students -- your theory is feasible yes... going into hypermeta mode eh? Yeah, it does give Tortured Souls the canonity... explains the Hyperdimension space candles... for now, i have no questions -- Yeah, i thought bout PC98 CP being canon as well hahaha... you can find the Zero Sisters' (Hasegawas) ID tag as well XD... if anything, that explains why the dates are so distorted in kibiki's tapes and probably, Another Child's Circumstances.. HH is Multiversal by itself... All points of space and time are considered I love our conversations <3

Spoiler: click to toggle Well, since Heavenly Host is merely the Nirvana forced to take a form of Sachiko's choosing, I don't think it really needs a power source to keep functioning. If anything, it needs something to stop it from waking up and devouring the world. (My other fic War of the Witches was a fic which explored where the Nirvana came from (Hint: It was meant to be the Nirvana of the witches.) and the existence known as Queen, but writing two fics to the level of depth I have done for Aftermath and also doing IRL stuff is a bit too difficult for me. Also, I'd need to do a lot more research as I'd be writing a foreign setting that isn't Japan. Ideally, I'd like to live in Germany or somewhere on mainland Europe in general to get a feel for the place in order to write it.)
I actually sent a message to Kedwin about the tape issue. Hopefully he replies next week since that was how long it took to reply to my previous question.
I like our talks to.

Naomi doesn't really have much material. I'm also busy IRL so not much brain power left to find/think of something interesting for her.
In short, it's in progress, but not going to be finished for a while.

Naomi Nakashima

中嶋 直美(なかしま なおみ)
Age: 16
Height: 158cm (5’2”)
Weight: 46.4kg (102lb)
Birthdate: December 14, 1991
Blood Type: A
Student Life An average student of Kisaragi Academy. She learns the piano as a hobby and practices cooking with her mother. Thus, her cooking abilities are on the higher end of the spectrum than most.
She lost her father to accident or disease a few years before the events of Heavenly Host and tries to act as a good daughter to support her mother. (Their family looks well off, however, it should be noted that both parents were full time workers. Naomi was often left alone at home with very little supervision at a young age due to them being busy with work. The decrease in income from her father’s death should have resulted in the Nakashima family being put under greater economic strain that it used to be before.)
“Hey! Don’t say that! It’s just bad karma.”
(Nakashima Naomi when teased about how she’s been stuck with Satoshi since middle school)
Has been stuck in the same class with Mochida Satoshi ever since middle school. (This is quite rare as Japanese classes are re-arranged every year. (In Japan, classes are set at the beginning of the year and this class attends all their lessons together. This is due to teachers moving between classrooms instead of students for different lessons. Therefore, once in a class you’re stuck with your class for a year often making you quite close acquaintances. To be in the same class with the same person for several years in a row is quite rare. (Fate?)))
She is one of the more athletic of the female Corpse Party cast as she managed to out run both Shinozaki Yui, and Shishido Yui while running to the changing room during the events of 2U. However, Seiko may be faster, and Ayumi can catch up to her through pure will power.
“Sensei, you have a cat?! I wanted this one, but is it hard to keep? Here… this one, this one…”
(Nakashima Naomi consulting Shishido Yui about cats)
She likes cats, and used to have a kitten when she was little. However, this kitten disappeared after she ran away from home with it and said the following to it:
“It’s because you’re here, Mei-chan, that Papa and Mama don’t think they have to come home.”
This cat was bought by her busy parents to keep her company while they were at work. Feeling abandoned, Naomi began to blame the kitten for their treatment of her. These emotions did not result in harm of the kitten, but Naomi believed that the kittens disappearance was related to her negative emotions towards it. This lead to guilt and regret building up inside her at having blamed someone for her own misfortune.
After the events of Heavenly Host, Naomi suffers from catatonic attacks where she will sit or stand in her room for long periods of time, often with the lights off. Her only movements at these times were efforts to draw Seiko’s face from memory which she could not do. Her mother took her to a psychiatrist and she was prescribed medication for these attacks. The stress from dealing with Naomi’s catatonic attacks and temper tantrums when her mother told her that Seiko was an imaginary friend lead to her mother becoming increasingly hostile towards her. This escalated to the point of violence where her mother would yell at her to take her medication while restraining her, forcing Naomi to the floor.
Naomi ran away from home during the events of Blood Drive due to sensing her life was in danger from her mother. (More details below.)
Nakashima Naomi was afflicted by a “curse” (the term has multiple meaning in Japanese, however the main one is, “to bring about calamity or misfortune to one by asking a god, Bodhisattva, or evil spirt.” Its official meaning is the equivalent to the Greek word “ἀνάθημα” or anathema. Originally meaning “offering” the word was equated to the word “cherem” in the old testament of the bible and taken as “an offering to god”. However, in the new testament this term lost this meaning and gained the meaning of “removal from the whole” before finally gaining its current definition of “formal ecclesiastical ban, excommunication, curse”.).
The curse Naomi was afflicted by occurred after staring at a photo of Seiko with the face blacked out. While she was staring at it, a very faint outline of something appeared in the blackness. Staring at it further cause her to realize that the letters “さち” were in the blackness. This realization caused the same letters to be burned onto her eye. (Interestingly, they burned themselves in a way that they could be read by other people. If they had been burned from the letters she had seen, then the letters would have become mirror letters when read by someone else. This did not occur.) When Naomi’s mother saw this burn, she left the room wordlessly and began sharpening a kitchen knife. Naomi left the house and went to Kisaragi Academy immediately after where she was found by Niwa Kuon and Mochida Satoshi. She was cared for at Niwa Kuon’s house after that. Naomi’s mother was later seen holding the arm of a rough looking man with a lustful expression.
The effects of the curse robbed her of all sight from her left eye. Additionally, it seems to be connected to Sachi(さち); the spirit who cursed her. It allows Sachi to force Naomi to see or watch her even if the two are far apart. This allowed Sachi to lead Naomi, Satoshi, Yoshiki, and Kuon to the location where Yuka was imprisoned by Kiriya Mist. This was done so Sachi could take over Yuka’s body. This connection seems to work both ways, as Naomi was able to weaken Sachi’s ability to possess Yuka by stabbing herself in the eye with a shard of flint. Thankfully, this only scratched her sclera (the white of the eye) and did not result in permanent blindness.
Naomi’s current relationship with her family (i.e. after Blood Drive) is unknown, although with the memories of Seiko restored, her mother should hopefully realize that Naomi’s distress was not baseless. With Kuon deceased, she will no longer be able to use Kuon’s house as a residence and will have to confront her mother again.
One of her future dreams before Heavenly Host was to have four children.
Her dream job is to be a caretaker and she likes children.
Personality Naomi:“When I turned around, Kishinuma was totally touching Satoshi’s crotch!”
Seiko:“Bwaha! Really! Aha… That’s a little hot.”
Naomi:“Seeing that, I just suddenly wanted to really smack Kishinuma.”
(Seiko and Naomi chatting with each other about when Kishinuma accidentally touched Satoshi)
Bright and outgoing, she seems to be a slightly tomboyish girl. However, Naomi has a number of more feminine qualities and has expressed jealousy (she wanted to punch Yoshiki) when Yoshiki accidentally touched Satoshi’s crotch during PE. (Yoshiki x Satoshi fans beware, or you might be the next one to be hanged in the girl’s bathroom.). She can play the piano and is pretty good at cooking as well as dealing with small children. Seiko describes her as a motherly person, and this may be why Sachiko enjoys her company a lot.
Naomi appears calmer than Seiko during the events of the first Corpse Party, but it seems that she is not entirely aware of her own emotions a lot of the time and tends to bottle up negative emotions. The release of these emotions can result in highly violent attacks and even intent to kill. These tendencies may be inherited from her mother, as she too seems to be calm and collected, but becomes highly unpredictable and violent when under stress. (NB: This is not to say that Heavenly Host had no effect on Naomi’s behavior during the events of Repeated Fear. This merely states that the behavior she exhibits is not unprecedented. i.e. Heavenly Host merely took what was there before and exacerbated it.)
“I’m sorry Mei-chan. Don’t go away!”
(A young Naomi crying after the disappearance of her kitten Mei)
Her experiences with her kitten Mei-chan show that she has previously displaced negative emotions onto things she cares about and sometimes blames them for her misfortune. These are temporary though, and she expresses regret and guilt after these occur. Sadly, she never managed to get rid of this habit before the events of Heavenly Host.
“That… that’s not realistic at all”
(Nakashima Naomi to Shinozaki Ayumi when discussing their situation during Project Dollies)
She isn’t a believer in the supernatural and is resistant to believing or dealing with it. Even after Heavenly Host, she was unable to accept that Seiko had been erased from everyone’s memories and believed that confronting them would allow them to remember Seiko. Shinozaki Ayumi stopped her from forcing Seiko’s siblings to look at a blacked out photo of Seiko.
Her method of dealing with issues tends to be direct, occasionally without thought of what may happen afterwards. This becomes even worse after their first trip to Heavenly Host. Due to the large amount of guilt she feels over the death of Seiko, her own self-worth has decreased quite a lot. This makes her appear suicidal, however, she doesn’t have any intentions to kill herself.
Relationships Naomi is best friends with Shinohara Seiko. She notes that, from an outside observer, the relationship between the two of them looks like more than just friends. However, she doesn’t view Seiko romantically, and is unable to reciprocate her affection.
Seiko’s death weighs heavily on her mind and has caused her to become catatonic and violent when she is at home. Naomi’s main fear is that even she will forget Seiko and nobody will ever remember she existed. The two of them apparently ate lunch on the school roof a number of times, however, Seiko has only been invited to Seiko’s house once. (This isn’t that odd, as Japanese society doesn’t have the custom of inviting friends over as prevalent as Western society. This is why high school settings often have friends meet at arcades, fast food stores, and cafes a lot.)
Satoshi is a long term acquaintance, with the two of them having been stuck in the same class since middle school. They share an interesting relationship where Satoshi’s usually meek behavior seems to arouse her maternal instincts, but his occasionally charismatic moments make her feel safe. She hasn’t confessed to him yet, but doesn’t want other girls to take him. She is quite dull in this regard, as she has not noticed that Ayumi is interested in him as well.
She occasionally feels a little jealous of Kishinuma Yoshiki due to how friendly he is with Satoshi.
She did not know of Mochida Yuka’s existence until October 27th, 2008.
Abilities Your average high school girl. She doesn’t seem to have any special abilities, besides her own physical fitness.
She is a little fitter than most of the female cast (including Shishido Yui), but hasn’t done any specific training for it. Lifting heavy objects like pommel horses is still tough for her, possibly indicating she does not possess the upper body strength of some of the boys of Corpse Party.
She does have some knowledge of medical procedures, and has read about items such as “medical staples”.
Her cooking skills are on the higher end of the spectrum as well.
She has a open and friendly attitude that makes her popular with children, and is quite good at dealing with them.
Her left eye was afflicted by a curse from Sachi. This curse robbed her of sight from that eye. However, applications of eye drops from Kuon seem to be lessening the curse’s effects. The curse seems to allow Sachi to control what Naomi is watching and can force Naomi to watch Sachi.
As Sachi still exists after the events of Blood Drive, it may be possible that Naomi’s left eye can be possessed by her again.
