-Spoilers for Tai’s route as of the 0.31 update-

Had I been Adrian, after Apollo’s explanation I’d have double dumped Tai’s ass.

Like, not explaining what’s going on between him and Spencer was a bit of a dick move, if maybe justified to protect him and not too much of Adrian’s business, but not telling Adrian about medical matters that very directly concern him? That’s just unforgivable in my book. Way, waaaay over the line. You just don’t mess with other’s health, period.

What’s even worse is that Tai’s dumb decision could even endanger Spencer, since Adrian could have affected others (just like he did) and their symptoms could reveal Apollo is in Woodcrest.

Hell, Adrian could have just gone to a doctor once he noticed something was wrong and BAM, the scientific community knows someone in Woodcrest has exposure symptoms and he gets told the last info he needs to piece Spencer’s secret together, making the whole thing pointless.

Tai should have just explained things with Spencer to get his permission to tattle. In the end they told him all the same, this just made Adrian feel like garbage in the meantime and endangered everyone involved.

If anything, how this played out makes me think Tai cares more about keeping face with Spencer by keeping his promise than Adrian’s and even Spencer’s bloody wellbeing.

Forget the train station, I’d have gone directly to Tai’s bar or house to tear him a new one about this. And then go to Lukas and ask him if he knew about the exposure symptoms, because oh boy if he knew was he in the same boat as Tai.

I like the vn btw, this isn’t me hating on it, it’s just me crying at the characters’ big dumb.

I see where you're coming from and I agree. I really do hope that there is some form of redemption later on in the story that helps establish a proper relationship between Adrian and Tai.

Redemption for Tai:

Like seriously, if you relpace “exposure” with any other transmittable disase, even ones that aren’t that contagious, you can see why that’s not a situation you can just come back from. Even if the whole Spencer secret schtick could be counted as a partial justification, that’s still far beyond a dealbreaker.

If you realize you gave someone a contagious disease and you choose not to tell them, you’re an asshole.

Now that I’ve re-read the explanation dump I do think that the fact that, as of night of the break up, they were still trying to make sure whether Adrian had symptoms, and that Tai’s own effected his behaviour, may be mitigating factors, but since they had know for days he could have exposure, and Adrian’s behaviour was very clearly unusual, my points still stands.

Tai had all reasons to believe Adrian had exposure and still kept silent on all fronts, which is a bit messed up.

That’s the kind of thing you need to stay on the safe side; Tai should have found a way to try and explain Adrian about the exposure the moment he noticed symptoms; he may even have found a way to do that without even involving Spencer.
