From what I understand I am not obligated to date Laverne right?
I don't hate the character I just don't feel like dating her and I'm kinda scared the game will force you into that (since you need to build up trust, affection and desire in the previous game I suspect there's something similar but I hope it's not obligatory for the story to continue, the description however seems to say I can date only one or the other so I think that means I don't need to do Laverne events to keep advancing in the story which is good)
