Yes, that's correct! :) Spoiler:

It's possible to type Ruby's name there.
Ah, that revealed quite the unexpected surprise, thanks for the tip.
Now that I've gotten the best and true endings for all five characters, does it unlock the possibility to have an ending with any of the other NPCs? That is, is it possible to in Devlin's route to instead befriend/date Allie, or in Toby's route to instead befriend/date Ruby? Or any other of the named characters?
Happy to help! It's my favorite (and only iirc, haha) easter egg in the game.
Good question; unfortunately it's not possible to date or befriend any of the named NPCs. I'd personally love to write an Allie route, but it's not in the works at this point in time. Even a mini story with the other NPCs would be pretty cool...
Thanks again, I appreciate the sentiment! :) We'll see what the future holds.
I created everything in the game except for most of the music, which was custom created by my composer, 'Moode Myoozik! 'Moode can be found here and here. Some tracks were also sourced from Kevin MacLeod's music database, and there's a handful of tracks that I made myself.
I also had an excellent group of QA testers/sensitivity readers who helped me find bugs and narrative pain points, and several coding snags were resolved with help from the Ren'Py community through tutorials on Lemmasoft and their Discord chat.
