To add to this if you select the flirt options with the "ex friend" choice prior it is worded as though you were in a relationship previously and I think that is how the ex friend without the flirting comes off as well, it reads like there was an invested romantic relationship that the MC potentially cheated on as opposed to friends. That being said I did enjoy the game so far but I agree with the OP that this particular thing feels off. As does the shirt with Cam even if you are his size lol
