Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and your feedback is very kind. It's always mortifying when I realize there are typos, but it's super helpful to know about them.
In the bonds menu, there is an indication of which traits the characters prefer. The top trait is their preferred trait, and the bottom is a trait they dislike. You can still increase your bond with them if you display the third unlisted trait, but it will have a weaker effect ( but the strength depends on how strong the trait is/ how consistently you've chosen those types of responses)
