In one of the diamond options early on you get a chance to hear why Michael likes this school and he talks about a student who brought the school together. I forget the exact wording, but that student graduated the year before making them a junior when the school was founded, because Mia, one of the students who transfered in the original game is a junior now, meaning she had to have been a freshman in the original game. So this takes place two years after the start of the original game.

Also, I don't know if you are still playing the original game. They had a little short story introducing High School Story coming to choices where someone (I forget who, but maybe Payton) told the MC that eighth graders were coming to check out the school for the next year and then (in some order I forget), Ezra said that his little brother, Caleb, was one of them, and Nishan said that his cousin, Myra, was one. It seems like someone else might have said something, but esentially, yeah, I'd say it's the exact same back story or pretty nearly with a little bit more bureaucracy. I'm sure there was plenty going on behind the scenes that we didn't know.

Either way, the MC of the orginal game is definitely still involved and I would really like the chance to get to see them (but if we do, they really had better let us pick their look and name, because, as someone who still plays High School Story . . . sort of . . . they need to give us more new stories there . . . I will be really annoyed if the founder of the school is named Oliver M Berry. I want the chance to bring in some version of my founder.)
