Always fantastic to hear people are enjoying themselves.
As for the Lin stuff, a lot of her interactions require Mood rather than Love. Mood can be gotten from many scenes and is global rather than specific to an individual. If you get mood in a scene with Jenny that will therefore effect the entire reunion. This is the same the Carla interaction.
While this makes a lot of sense once you know, you're not the first person to have this misunderstanding which to me means it's not spelled out enough... Although I'm not entirely sure how to fix it.
Similarly with names, I tried to essentially colour code the characters but not everyone remembers them... so the solution does seem to make their names more present. I'll have a think about that one.
