Really hope it´s the latter one. Although, as has been discussed before, I don´t know about Shani being available for a sharing scene. I wouldn´t mind, personally, but she´s more tricky to do than Zahra or Ain.
I don’t see any particular reason why Shani would be less likely to get involved in such situations. However, her behavior largely depends on the player's choices, whether you guide her toward adopting a more altruistic and caring attitude toward others, possibly making her more dependent on Zaton, or lead her to become more selfish and independent.
Additionally, while her sexuality is relatively new, shortly after her first experience with Zaton, we see her engaging in sexual activities with Zahra and Ain, and later with both Zahra and Ain, along with Zaton.
If the goal is Shani leaving the house and living her life by herself, can she still be the leader of the household if she´s not living in the household? I always assumed that Shani was Zaton´s heir in terms of profession, I didn´t think about the other possibilities.
I don’t think Zaton’s plan is for Shani to leave the family home and start her own, but rather to take over the reins of the family after his death, or if he’s unable to do so due to illness or old age. To me, it’s quite clear that the game expresses this dual inheritance for Shani: to become a Stalker like him and take over his role, as well as eventually take on the leadership of the family. In this context, I presume that she would logically inherit the house and all the family assets.
I also remember Ain mentioning to Shani during one of the ceremonies to welcome one of the slaves, that only Shani could truly appreciate these solemn and ritualistic moments, thinking that she was likely envisioning herself taking over Zaton’s role to lead them later.
On the other hand, Ain was destined to be married off and leave the family home to join another, as it is, according to Zaton, the customary tradition for women in Zeta. Shani escapes this fate because she is the eldest and the designated heir.
And I said it once, I´ll say it a thousand times, I would love to see Shani meet and interact with the Raider sisters, particularly Kyra. You know Kyra would be teasing her with Zaton the whole time.
Yeah, it could be really fun for Shani and Kyra to meet. I can already imagine some pretty hilarious lines and some really hot scenes ! hehe
