Just reached the end of the current demo and honestly, I appreciate that ??? isn't really the focus of most characters for now. Unless I am missunderstanding things, the main character is still undefined phisically within the story until somthing happens later on. I would imagine that as the MC brings themselves into focus more they will get more attention from various characters.
Also just wanted to say that I enjoyed your game :)
Also sorry if this counts as spoilers I will delete if it is.
