A lot of great moments in this chapter, and I was pleasantly surprised how granular and reactive the job shifts felt.  Doubly so for Sophia, who I previously hadn't thought to pursue.

It does feel like it might be time to start locking off some choices in longer events if you've been diligent about keeping a girl to yourself.  As hot as it is to set Lisa on one of her other lovers for just part of the night, it can be rather jarring now if her first transgression ends up being full penetration with a masseuse she's met once before.

Thanks for the update! I've been checking in annually since 0.20 and I wanted to say I really appreciate both that the latest iteration of helping IO with distribution before a shift feels so unintrusive and beneficial compared to previous systems and that you're still taking the time to answer questions here.

Thank you, and sorry again for creating more work for you!

Love your writing!  Usually I've got a severe completionist streak but this is the first rpg of any kind in a long while that I've empathized with the lead enough to get properly immersed in the story and tamp down on any mechanical FOMO.  There ended up being a chunk of the supporting cast I deliberately avoided and picked “bad” options during conversations with because I felt a stronger obligation to keeping my version of Luc honest and unembarrassed during downtime than I did to pursing an eventual Sword of Great Friends with Everybody.  It was honestly to the point I regretted toggling explicit scenes on at the start since I wanted to get back to unraveling the mysteries sooner.

Also, I feel bad bringing up such a minor nitpick but it made me laugh when I stumbled across it: in week 3, one of the videos available during the rental shift is explored during Wednesday's lit class, but you have time earlier in the week to take the shift.  It doesn't read strangely out of context, so on my first playthrough when I took the shift on Tuesday I assumed it was a detail from a past lecture that you mercifully spared us from the full duration of.  At least, I did until the following morning when the professor actually mentioned by name and I realized I'd created a temporal anomaly.  Oops.
