Hoshino Yui's small Eggotchi repair carries one of ReStory's most important story choices. This guide separates her official spoiler-free profile from the route consequences revealed by the job. The official character reveal introduces Hoshino Yui as a seven- or eight-year-old girl who treats her Eggotchi as if it were alive. She keeps it warm, feeds it onigiri, and brings it to the shop after it breaks. Her attachment explains why the job is about preserving memory as much as restoring hardware.
Who is Hoshino Yui?
The official character reveal introduces Hoshino Yui as a seven- or eight-year-old girl who treats her Eggotchi as if it were alive. She keeps it warm, feeds it onigiri, and brings it to the shop after it breaks. Her attachment explains why the job is about preserving memory as much as restoring hardware.
Yui brings her Eggotchi to the counter. This identifies the starting request, not the later payment choice.
Official spoiler-free profile
Yui's listed birthday is July 4. She loves ice cream but rejects fruity flavors as not being real ice cream, dislikes the bitter melon her grandmother asks her to eat, and collects keychains and tiny figures. She invents a name and a past for each collectible. Her favorite game is the Eggotchi itself.
Yui's Eggotchi repair
Inspect and clean the device fully, replace only confirmed missing or broken pieces, and use a matching donor when the exact component is unavailable. Do not return it merely because the screen works. Check the remaining job objectives and complete the available data operation before the hand-in conversation.
Restore the data or only repair the screen?
Restore the stored data if you want Yui's positive story. The screen-only result fixes the obvious symptom but does not preserve the information that gives the device meaning to her family. Keep a manual save before hand-in so a blind role-playing choice and a completion route can remain separate.
Yui's ending impact
The restored-data result is one of four positive customer arcs for the Happy Ending. For the Secret Ending, continue until the later family scene appears; that callback is stronger confirmation than the working display alone. The other required positive stories belong to Hashimoto, the Student, and the former Gangster.
Yui route checklist
Use this compact route check before advancing the finale.
- Save before returning the Eggotchi
- Complete the physical repair
- Finish the data-restoration objective
- Choose the outcome that preserves the stored information
- Continue until the family callback appears
- Keep this result on the same save as the other three positive arcs
