You can't.

Some games have a side character who has the function to reveal it, but... Aoi doesn't think there's anyone like that, here. The best you can do is ask your love interest how they feel about you.

[commedia]

...

But can't people lie about that?

[gamerbrain]

Yep.

[commedia]

Ahhhh. So what is even! The! Point!

[HEAVING A SIGH]

Oh, little doll, this sort of thing is really quite hard!

[gamerbrain]

Even people who are lying will have tells. You can still learn a lot from someone who's lying.

[commedia]

Oh, I know that. [A little grumpily.] But when it comes to emotions like these...ah, I have yet to understand the depths of them.

[gamerbrain]

[ she nods knowingly. ]

Aoi doesn't understand emotions very well, either...

[commedia]

[...]

[Something seems to occur to Douman, who reaches over to hold Aoi's hand.]

[They don't say anything. They're just...holding hands. Just like that.]

[gamerbrain]

[ oh okay. they can be holding hands. she holds their hand back! ]

[commedia]

[Yay!!! Holding hands!!!]






[And then, Douman speaks up.]

Does this make you feel anything, Aoi?

[gamerbrain]

[ she has to think about it, which is a bad sign, but: ]

... Yes.

[commedia]

Oh? And what does it make you feel?

[gamerbrain]

Happy, a little bit.

[ ... she swings their arms a lil! ]

[commedia]

...

[There's a strange look on their face?]

I...I'm a little happy, as well?

[gamerbrain]

[ wehehe ]

Good! Aoi is glad we're both happy.

[commedia]

Yes, this is...

[And they just fall silent for a long moment.]

[Yeah, just...wow. Hand-holding.]

[gamerbrain]

You're getting surprisingly shy.

Are you not satisfied with Aoi's route, yet?

[commedia]

It's not "being shy", it's just...

[They......don't know?]

Your "route"? [A laugh.] Why do you say that? I am.

[gamerbrain]

[ hmm well she definitely can't help him decipher that. or decipher it herself... ]

We already had sex, but you're still hanging out with Aoi and holding hands and stuff.

[commedia]

...

[Yeah, they're doing that, huh.]

I know what sex is about. I suppose I...wanted to see what the rest of the route was like, too, hm!

[gamerbrain]

[ she looks vaguely confused? ]

Aoi doesn't mind if you want to have sex again.

[commedia]

...Well, we could.

[ITS NOT LIKE THEY COULD SAY NO TO THAT!!!]

But this is interesting, also.

[gamerbrain]

[ interesting... ]

More interesting than sex?

[commedia]

Sex is interesting, too. But something quiet like this is...a component of "love", too, isn't it?

[gamerbrain]

[ she has think? about that real hard? she gets that people play routes for the love stories too, but ultimately the love stories are lead-ups to the sex...

but the love that builds up to the sex still has value, she supposes. ]

I guess so.
