Hi! For the first part, the "like you, they are..." is referring to MC's ancestor from the past, not James. At that point, MC is looking at their ancestor's portrait. Apologies for any confusion - I will see if I can make that clearer in future iterations. MC's ancestor is supposed to change name/gender based on what MC chooses. However, I have had some variable problems and need to check that.
The second thing: yes, I thought that was fixed about Felix but apparently not. I will fix it before the next update. It got kinda messed up because I moved the code from ChoiceScript which was a lot of work haha. Thank you for letting me know so I can look into it!
In regards to Margaret, something I hope to portray in more of the game is that a lot of her wariness to romance is just due to general wariness to being vulnerable due to her being hurt by people in her life, not all necessarily romantic partners. A lot of it was her family, people she trusted. Now, she finds it hard to open her heart to others. However, I appreciate hearing your thoughts and how it is received.
Thanks for giving my demo a try and for your feedback. I really appreciate it and will try to keep it in mind when I make another update!! I look forward to hopefully hearing your thoughts when chapter 2 comes out :)
