Now to be fair, Cesar wasn't in extreme danger of dying, and thus far there are no dead ends because of his deus ex machina magic necklace that protects him from harm, even lethal harm, however it does have a limit- a limit that Clarice's mother realized, but continued to keep the pressure on.Wtf!
Wasn't this VN supposed to be lighter and softer than Giant Guardians???
So Nezumicon is lighter in the sense that nobody dies, or has died yet at least, but there are definitely girls who care nothing for the lives of those smaller than them, and in fact take sadistic pleasure from the thought of ending them. Clarice's mom has massive psychopath energy.
