Hello how are you. First of all I want to congratulate you on the game. The MC's backstory is captivating and I felt some empathy for him. I'm at the beginning of episode 3 and I must say it's getting more and more exciting. That said, one thing is puzzling me and makes me feel uncomfortable with the narrative. In some dialogues between the MC and Sky, it is implied that the relationship between the two is "forbidden". Which would make sense if the two were consanguineous, but it's not what it seems so far. Maybe I missed something, but what I understood is that the two are childhood friends and have lived in the same house since very early on. So it gets weird for example when they're on the beach and the MC says: "We will never be lovers nor marry each other in the future, that is the truth that we have to face the roommates." Well, that's what I think. Maybe this has already been answered here in the comments, but I avoid reading to avoid spoilers. However, this intrigued me, so I would like to know why they can't take on a romance. Another point I wanted to raise is about the animations. At first I thought it was a glitch in the animation playback, but as it happened other times I noticed that they are not synchronized. The initial frame does not match the final frame, and as they run in a loop, a "jump" occurs and breaks the fluidity of the scene. In the most, I leave here my congratulations, and I apologize for the giant text and if at any time I made myself seem presumptuous, that is not my intention. Until later.

I did that, started the game a few times changing the denominations (step-brother, step-sister, stepmother, cousins, nephew, niece, aunt, etc...). But, still, there are inconsistencies, what I want to know, and maybe I wasn't clear in the previous text, is what their relationship is. And as I said in the text, it may have happened that I missed some information. What is the blood relationship between MC and Sky, do they both have the same father, or the same mother, or are they cousins? The fact that questioning this is simply to understand why they can't relate, despite the fact that they have already come to blows. A curiosity, in my country, the consanguineous relationship (father-daughter, mother-son, uncle-niece, aunt-nephew) as long as they are of legal age and the relationship is consented. Despite being a moral taboo.
This trend of using the editable relationships "roommates", "landlady" etc is to avoid the Patreon ban on incest related content, and you'll come across it in plenty of other VNs around here. Whenever you see it, be fully aware that the "original" relationship is that of a blood related family. The inconsistency you felt is probably because of a lack of familiarity with this whole deal.
Sky is a 100% MC's sister, not only half or just a cousin.
I understand this Patreon issue. And maybe it's just me. As a proverb from my country says: "looking for hair in eggs". Since I see this kind of "censorship" as absurd. Even more so because I follow around 20 works here and it was the first time I saw something similar. Well, whatever. I'll try to follow the story as far as I can.
I totally agree with you. The editable relationships were the best way the devs managed to come up with as a workaround that still allowed players to fill either the original roles or maybe something they were more comfortable with, even if some dialogues could become weird.
You'll only find those in content related to incest, so it's totally and completely possible to follow lots of works here on itch and still be your first time seeing it. The important part is that you're now aware of what it means when you come across it again, lol.
And it's possible that we may be from the same country, haha. Both the proverb and the legality of incest as long as consented and between adults fits the bill. xD
