Thank you so much for your thoughtful response!
Regarding the conflict, I meant the reason why the mom was upset in the game didn't feel too clear to me... I feel like 'hope' is not enough of a justification for the mom to throw a tantrum (smash the cup etc). Now that I understand that MC/FL are legal adults, my assumption is that the mom just doesn't want MC to leave her by herself? Is she a controlling/possessive person? Is the MC/FL in a Romeo/Juliet kind of relationship, hence the disapproval (at least on MC's side)?
In any case, I will try this game again sometime in the future. Hope I get a good ending when I do! Hehehe.
Note: I just realised that part of the top of the game got cut (in my stream) even though it looked fine when I was playing. Maybe it's my OBS settings, I'm sorry about that! :(
