Oh, I'm sorry for any confusion again, lol! To clarify, I'm not planning to remove that element — I love it too! I’m just looking at ways to introduce these relationships more smoothly in the story. I want to expand on things a bit for each of them, and... I’m also considering setting it up to make Lee work for Ly in a potential 4th poly route in the future. My goal is to enhance, not rewrite them completely!
Personally, I adore all my characters, but I'm glad to know Lee is so loved! Your kind words truly mean a lot — thank you!
