While I do really hope and want for this game to be a true harem game, if it's not, it kinda makes the discussion about the return of Anne both more interesting and equally redundant.
I'd be amazed if any players have stayed loyal to Anne despite the forced breakup i.e not having fucked any of the girls where avoidable.
Most of the conversions of Anne to becoming a supernatural being like us, were contingent on the other girls being willing to share. Though I suppose they could still work if the girls are just our friend and we haven't gotten romantically or sexual involved with anyone... But as i said I can't imagine anyone playing a no sex/dating route.
I also can't see anyone, in the event this isn't harem game, playing a play through and waiting for the human girl when there are loads of super hot nonhumans just waiting for the chance to date us. Not saying Anne isn't hot or a lovely girl, but she wouldn't be my first choice. Though in the event of this actual being a harem game, Anne does get seniority even if she's not a favourite

Tangentially related to the topic of Anne; it was mention in comments as proof of her return that she has an intimacy tracker like all the other girls, and I have a few questions about how the tracker works.
Can the intimacy tracker go down as well as up? Can we lose points?
If the tracker can go down down, but hasn't, does that mean Nina isn't lost for good? Thus lending hope towards a true harem?
If the tracker can't go down, does that mean we can't actually lose the girls except by actively choosing to call things off the girl in question? Again lending credence to the harem hopes.
I ask because, there a lot of girls, many of whom we don't see very often, so unless one comes into this game knowing the game is monogamous (if indeed it is), then it's going to be very difficult to raise their intimacy and not have them locked out by dating or attempting to date other girls
