Ok sorry maybe I went a bit headcannony with my understanding of Maria. You can look into development but I don't think there's much of a point now; I just think it would've been far better to have understood her process back then. I also still can't understand why Maria thought she couldn't make the decision on her own and unless I'm forgetting something (likely lol) I don't think we ever got an explanation for that.
I see you've released another update glad to see you progressing. Hope you continue on to eventual completion this is easily the best h-game I've played and the worldbuilding and character writing is some of my favorite in fiction.
