Sorry, for responding so much later. I'm playing a friend's Furry Visual Novel.
Unfortunately, I think this question is going to lead into too many spoilers about future story beats. So I won't be answering this question here.
I would gladly answer this question on my AMA Q&A on my Patreon for those with the Cuba Libre tier.
Also don't feel sorry about asking me all these questions. Activity and questions here help the Itch.io algorithm which makes us grow.
