No option to join Elred?

When Elred asks if we want to join in the alleyway, the only option that pops up is "Choose to refuse." I'm not sure if that is intentionally the only option (in which case, why have an option at all?), or if the other option(s) require some prerequisite I don't meet, or if the scene is just not finished yet.

There is no option to join. It is a device to show the character of the protagonist.

In that case, I'm not sure it performs its intended function effectively, because I didn't learn anything about the protagonist except that he apparently doesn't like Elred for some reason. It would make more sense to learn this in a linear way, rather than forcing the player to *try* to make the MC like Elred only to learn through trial & error and/or asking questions toward the developer that he never will. Even if it's just in the same scene, I'd understand the intent better if the choice were absent.

Chapter 1-3 is a prologue of sorts, so there will be minimal direct physical interaction with the main characters. Once all of the important characters have been introduced by Chapter 3, the story will be broken up into branches for each character, and then you can go from there to whatever you want.

...What? I don't see how that's relevant at all. I think perhaps I'm still not understanding what exactly about the MC's personality you intended to convey with that particular scene.
