The common route and Terra's stories are pretty much the same up until the point where Kotarou either attacks Kagari or lets her go. In the other routes he attacks her, gets mortally wounded and then Kotori saves him with the help of Kagari while also turning him into a familiar. Kotarou went into a coma and his memories were changed. When he woke up he hadn't aged (since he was a familiar) and still thought he was in middleschool (at the time) which was around the same age as Kotori.

There are many hints during nearly every route that Kotarou is older than the others or that he has a past with other people that he doesn't remember. Hell, it's pretty much explained in Kotori's route.

Since he didn't attack Kagari in Terra, he never went into the coma.

Spoiler for reply for Terra:

Ah that's right, I forgot about that little (yet important) detail. Kotarou is already a familiar in the common route, so that's why the bad end in Terra leads to the beginning of the common route story. There's also hints and clues about Kotarou's makeup in Shizuru's and Chihaya's route, I can't believe I forgot those things. Thanks for clearing that up.

But that still doesn't explain how M.K knows that T.K needed to avoid loosing those years of being in a coma. Well, he has a ridiculous amount of knowledge in Moon route, I'll just assume it's because of what he learned from all that knowledge he gained there.

Shizuru probably didn't recognize him since she only met him for a few minutes years before and Akane...probably did notice but figured it was Kotori's doing.

Spoiler for reply for Terra part 2:

Hmm... not sure that sits well with me... It's a personal preference but, I would've liked it better if Kotori was surprised at who came out of the tree and have a nice heart warming reunion with Kotarou. Also, would've been nice for Akane to thank him for saving her, really, that would've felt a hell of a lot more emotional and touching for me than the epilogue we got... it felt cut short. Oh well.
