My friend, even if it goes like this in the future, it is unacceptable for me that Tori is forced on me even if only for half a handjob, and the MC will continue to drool over her as if he were a virgin who is not currently already fucking 90% of the female cast. The canonical path in my game will always and only be the one where I can stay as far away from her as possible. Furthermore, by rejecting the alliance with her, Ryker's feelings are more similar to my own towards her, making it easier for me to empathize.
