I may have discovered a bug with Zarad's stargazing date.
He asked MC out Week 1. Another candidate showed up (can't remember who--maybe Avalie). He eventually strolled up. She left. And then ... he never said a word. I wasn't presented with any dialogue choices at all. Text said he flirted, but MC thought something had changed. I reloaded a save and chose both options when the other woman showed up (trust there's a reason and MC would find out soon enough and then a flight of fancy speculation). Same result either choice.
I thought I'd get another chance with him, but even though I interacted with him more than anyone else save Ana and Haman (and Penelope I suppose) I didn't have the chance to ask him on a Week 3 date. In fact, Emmett was given as a choice AND as a marriage candidate even though I never interacted with him at all.
So was this a bug, game as intended, or did I somehow mess up?
