Decided to add a comment since my brain is still running through all of that, but man, I love Kadsey's routes in particular (especially the bad end, surprisingly enough, to the point that I might draw a little something about that, but don't expect anything like that too soon). He has a super interesting position in the story, knowing the same things we do but not the information that Chad Ashton can provide.
I really enjoy the lore going on in this sequel, and actually getting to know the other guys this time around. Ashino's first date genuinely made me nervous, which was something. Regardless of my visceral kneejerk reaction of rejecting him on sight, I was still interested to see what he's all about and the answer is Menacing.
I'll be excited to see how future updates go.
