Ok, so this screen absolutely did not exist when I last played. I also don't recall MC saying to Eric before that he wanted a relationship with substance... if he did, I must have skipped past that mention. I didn't realize that was a set characteristic of the MC. Given that, I guess the reason I shouldn't play this game is that I can't relate to the MC. Like, this is not a choice I know how to make. I'm not interested in pursuing anyone romantically, and also not just one person.
