My friend is having an issue where occasionally sprites will just be missing in conversations. He started noticing this happening with V'ehxness in her route while in the pool room, and now its happening in Coming of Age as well. You can see Nozomi is supposed to be here but she isn't.

Reloading the save sometimes fixes it, sometimes not.

I don't recall ever having this issue when I played and I got every ending. Anyone else encounter this issue or know how to resolve it?

For the record, he did verify integrity of files on Steam. If anyone knows, I'd appreciate it.
