    (Maybe I should warn you that this comment contains some spoilers, however small, in case someone reads them before playing then… Spoilers!)

    I liked how his route addresses important issues such as self-knowledge, trauma and drugs.
    And the story was quite intense and interesting but… I don’t know, I think the fact that he was the main focus of the route (not that the others aren’t… 🤔) went well with the “theme” of the route, but still… T-T
    I missed romantic interactions between him and Teuta (although I understand there wasn’t much room for that in the situation) and CGs of the two together. Overall I liked it, but I feel like it could have been… more

      Gods I didn’t fix the part in parentheses before sending T-T (english is not my native language so sometimes i get lazy and just throw things in google translate…)

    2. Thanks for marking your comment as a little bit spoiler-ish! I appreciate that, in case anyone hasn’t finished his route yet 😄 And don’t worry about your English, it makes total sense!

      Yeah, I understand what you mean. And while I didn’t dislike the themes in his route (because they were well done), his route didn’t do much for me. That said, I prefer characters like Helvetica as side characters, not love interests, anyway. But his route was a lot deeper (at least in terms of themes and struggles) than I thought it would be. It was a nice surprise to not have your typical playboy route. He’s much more complex than he seems at first glance. But yes, I agree, while understandable, there wasn’t a huge amount of romance. It could’ve easily been someone supporting their friend through a difficult time 🤔
