Of course! Anytime you have questions just throw them at me lol. I don’t mind.
(1) Oh, you don’t need to go to the dean! When you’re given the chance to visit different locations in Braum, make sure you go to the town square and see Venali. That’s the first time you really get to speak to them. Then later, when you awaken and need guidance on how to manage it, you will have the options of professor Elanil, Welling, and Venali all unlocked. When you choose to approach Venali, Triv will ask to join. This will later unlock the canterberry festival with Triv.
I know this sounds like a lot, but I wanted the character interactions to feel more organic. Venali is very much in their own bubble and their interest doesn’t peak easily. So, you’ll need to be the first to initiate. Triv is a massive introvert. Their only friend at that point is Venali and so the only way to begin any kind of dynamic with them is when they can first have a friend in proximity for reassurance.
(2) A lot of the narrative is shared through interaction and so I kind’ve liked the idea of people learning with their MC rather than me directly telling them.
