As much as I love Mikko's route, out of all the routes I think this one NEEDS the time to be perfect, with how complicated the situation is for out characters I think the awkwardness makes sense and is realistic. As Much as I want things to work out with Arvo and Mikko I have a feeling they wont. Because this story is not always a happy one, and that's beautiful.
Also, READ THE OTHER ROUTES!! Rune is my personal fav but I also love Lake, Devon, Klaus, Jorgen- ok there ALL amazing. What I really love about this VN is how each character is so different from each other that connects with me on many different things. Main ones being Winter messages but also the idea of death or seeking beyond what we know.
I'm rambling but bottom line. Your going to wait forever if you just wait for one character route, enjoy the game as it was intended to be made and you will enjoy it more! (Also this isn't easy to do, this takes a lot of time and with THIS level of writing I'm amazed how consistent we get content for FREE btw!)
