Don't get me wrong. The characters in this story are all charming enough to tempt the power fantasy in me to wish for a harem ending with no bad consequences...except for certain men who drug, abuse, and generally act like complete scum. But, having bad endings gives the choices towards harem or at least friendship greater emphasis. So, as much as I detest the horrible endings good writers, like yourself, come up with...they ARE wonderfully written. Cheers!
