This game was really great! I'm a little confused about something, though. 

[spoilers]

I'm ace, so I played my character that way too, and I didn't really understand why Cove jumped out of bed and was really nervous, as my MC wasn't interested in doing anything but lying there. Was he uncomfortable with cuddling? Or was he nervous about something else, and I didn't read between the lines properly?

For context: I played until he confessed his feelings (very end of step 3), they started a relationship, and then that night we slept in the same room, but Cove insisted I get into the bed with him and not lie on the floor. The only thing I can think of is that he was physically 🍆  "excited" and wasn't comfortable with that? I wonder if I missed a conversation by not getting into a relationship with him earlier that would help it make more sense (the v/o said something like "I always do this," but he'd never run away from MC before. We shared the  loft and snuggled on the camping trip, and he slept on the floor at his mom's house). He also kept saying "thanks for waiting for me," but my MC was even more hesitant to express romantic interest and showed zero sexual desires, so I don't really know why he thought MC would want him to move faster. Maybe the dialogue is just meant to be open to various interpretations of different MCs' desires?

Aside from my being clueless about that one aspect, I thought the game did a really good job of allowing you to shape MC and their relationship with the people around them. It felt so interactive and personalized!

Cove is very nervous about pursing romance, in terms of the physical and emotional side. You can interpret how much is physical based on what you'd be comfortable with. But no matter what, he's never able to just like someone and start being with them. He has to go through a big process for every step.

It takes Cove until very end of summer in their last year of non-adulthood for him to finally admit that he likes the MC that way, and he almost doesn't do it. He stalls at first. And in that confession he explains how trying to change things and move forward scares him. Inviting you to the bed is him trying to be more confident and get passed that, but he ends up almost backing out again because of how strongly his own feelings impact him. He thanks the MC for waiting because you do have to wait for him to do anything. He's liked the MC for a minimum of multiple months and potentially as long as several years and is only now expressing it. Even if the MC didn't mind or really think about it, he knows he took a long time to get to it and he's self-conscious about it. I hope that makes more sense!

Thank you!
