Really enjoyed this update! Getting to learn a bit more about the world and its characters was really nice to see. Not to mention our new beau-to-be, Pierre; he's so mysterious and charming, what with the bomb he drops on us. But I really just wanna offer Pierre a glass of water or something because DAMN does he seem thirsty! Seriously, I'm surprised that MC hasn't started noticing a pattern by now!
Joking aside, this new lover-to-be was really fun to interact with and has a very interesting personality that makes him stand out compared to the other characters so far, not to mention that twist he reveals about the MC!I'm really curious to see where this plot thread is going to go; it has me both excited and nervous about what's to come.
Overall, a very well done update, I feel. My only complaint is that Norman's CG is backwards (the dialogue has the hands reverse from the image).
