The Legend of the Ending of the Ji Ning Route (PS4 version)
At the end of the route, everyone talks about the light sphere in the data room. Ji Ning uses the Fudoji to introduce legends that regard it as a symbol of happiness; Tomo also said she had met him, so she believed his story.
Misaeda Light Orb obtained during the Founders' Festival (Game Tomoyo route)
During the Founders' Festival, after the cat was found, Tomoya told Misae about her meeting someone to attend the festival. After she responded, he obtained the orb related to this past event.
The accumulation and disappearance of the school arc
In Adusa Ciel's walkthrough, eight light orbs unlock the After Story menu; After triggering the disappearance event, there may only be seven when entering. The disappearance event is connected to the subsequent scene where Fuuko comes to the apartment, so reducing the count does not mean losing the right to enter After Story.
The order in which After Story is collected
The first follow-up of the first round of the strategy starts with Sanae, Yoshino, Naoyuki, Fuuko, and Childe obtaining five light orbs, then taking the Akiki branch to add his light orbs. This branch requires photospheres with seedlings already obtained; After collecting all thirteen, you re-enter the After Story. The childbirth arc will feature additional events, leading to the true finale.
PS4 Basic Guide: Counting and Vanishing Events
Seiya's PS4 basic guide explains that the current number of light orbs obtained can be checked on the title screen.
This guide further clarifies the premise of the disappearance event: first complete the Fuuko END, then trigger it along the Yukimura or Nagisa route.
