Ian can express desire for relationship with Lena as long as his attitude score (in the Agenda) is at 9+ points, even if he didn't reveal any deeper feelings before (and as long as he isn't in serious relationship with Alison) Lena will agree if she admitted to having deeper feelings for Ian (the lena_ian_love
flag) and didn't fuck Jeremy.
Doing it this way will activate the ian_lena_love
variable with a different value, to discern it's a "late" entry of sorts.
This got me thinking about the one important difference between Ian's two ways of entering the relationship with Lena: If he has 9+ relationship points with her without having shown any romantical interest, he can assure Cherry the night before that he's just friends with Lena, then have sex with Cherry, and still tell Lena afterwards that he wants a relationship. In every other scenario that sex scene with Cherry and a relationship with Lena is mutually exclusive. (At least that's how it was when I last tried it.) I'm pretty sure it wasn't an oversight on Eva's part either, as Ian's inner monologue after the relationship talk reflected on the potential mess it would make.
Anyway, does anyone know how this specific set of events affects Ian's meeting with Cherry in the latest chapter? My saves are a mess at the moment and for some reason Unrenpy won't properly extract my game files, so I haven't gotten to check the script. It's such a specific scenario with a lot of potential conflict, so I was hoping it would lead to something more than just Ian and Cherry's fling ending in a non-dramatical way.
Apologies if this has already been discussed, I had almost 100 pages of new posts to skim through!
