I will never skip a chapter of this game as i love it but i agree about kira haha. Maybe if pearl's and kira's roles were switched i could consider straying away from Eliza while traveling but Kira feels like a Eliza for poor guys lmao.Kira is the main li of chapter 4....welp, I will just skip the whole chapter.
And at least to me it felt that Kira's thoughts (on the romantic route) are too similar to Eliza's and she's way too lovey-dovey considering her character, i would be fine for her being a fuckbuddy during the travels but i cant be touched by her feelings at all considering were on this whole journey because of eliza.
