AHHH SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT PRI!!! And I'm so glad you picked up on that feeling of loneliness. It's a small note in the game that's only elaborated on if you pick the sad option. The idea of breaking away from a group of people you've built a close relationships with is heartbreaking. And like you said, to know you're not alone in that feeling and that one of those people wishes to stay by you is really relieving.
AND YES! That cuddle option was my favorite part to write hands down. It was so cute and it felt rewarding. It felt complete, if you know what I'm saying? Because often times, if you don't choose to have sex, the alternative scene is...nothing and it fucking sucks. So hearing you praise that particular scene really means a lot to me, from one ace to another. <3
