Oh, I see! Yeah, some clarification on the A/N would definitely have helped me understand there was still something I needed to do before my depression nap haha.
I hope you were able to figure out what caused the bug of him reappearing, and fix it without it giving you too much of a headache! Aside from this bug at the very tail end of this run, I had a ton of fun with the game! The characters/dialogue pulled me right in, and the money earning+time management factor is *chef's kiss!*
((IF ANYONE IS READING ALONG & HASN'T DONE MILO'S ENDING, I'M GOING TO START TALKING ABOUT SPOILERS HERE))
Also ahhhh, looks like I missed the convo with Ms. Leith...! I got the dialogue about not having enough information, and she wasn't there when I looked around the map... The last leith-related casino conversation I had was with her rival who was talking smack - I assume after hearing that, the next time I saw Ms. Leith she would have given me the necessary dialogue to hear for Nico to realize what to do with the bones. So close, and yet so far hahaha (Unless the leith dialogue chain is way longer than I'm aware!)
I really wouldn't have minded running through the game again, doing a backyard + casino yolo sprint to make sure I didn't miss any leith dialogue this time around, but the fact you went above & beyond to make a build for me to make sure I could get the ending? That's really touching, thank you so much!! The ending was amazing (the emotional reunion <3) and made me really want to go do Samson's ending so I can find out what the heck happened to him in Milo's! I'm really glad I was able to experience it for myself!
((I STOP TALKING ABOUT SPOILERS HERE))
I'll be running through the other endings now (can I just say I'm stunned by how quickly you pushed an update fixing everything I talked about?? please treat yourself to something nice, you've earned it!) so I'll let you know if I notice anything funky! If you don't hear from me again, just assume everything ran clean as a whistle!
