I read your play report out loud on stream and everyone loves where this is going. Definitely keep us posted! I have no idea how you're going to get your half-sister out of this mess, but I hope you manage.
Yeah, I definitely can relate to that feeling of WHAT HAPPENS NEXT! It's where writing little bullet points of what happens can be really helpful.
I had that text in the "Ballad flow" section, but I've added it to the SC section as well, and moved the SC section to be after the Prologue. I think this helps the rules flow better, so thank you so much again for the feedback!
You're 100% correct in your interpretation of the relationship progression rules! Both Fate and Favor have to match to trigger the change. I have added this more explicitly in the explanation for that section so that it's more clear, as it's a very important part of the game.
