That's the approach I took with Wes.
First I thought you had to confront him to get a good ending, but that's just not what I'd do if I were Kieran, so I just chose the way I would manage that situation. Good thing it ended up all right. It amazes me the way Phibbean understands people's minds, and can predict logical outcomes from the way we handdle our relationships... I'll have to take the other (extreme) approach later just to see what changes.
