ORS has so much NTR set up at this point. By the end of game's completion it will be netorare heaven for people who are into this shit.
Meanwhile me who just want to see Cindy x Ian wholesome content.
In my opinion is, Ian and Cindy get-together are far more subtle and enjoyable than any love story in the game. There are multiple indicator through their route which pointing at how much Cindy want to break out from that bad relationship they have with Wade. She just lacking the courage to do it. (in their musem date she gives a hint about this)
I like how Ian's initial neutrality and then his attention to her arouses Cindy's interest as well. I love how their repressed longing for each other slowly accumulates and then bursts out of them like an overwhelming storm. Both of them are tormented by conscience, but this only lasts until they confirm to each other that the whole thing was not just about one occasion that happened, but about much more.
Seducing a friend's girlfriend is a very mean thing, but we can't really control our heart. I hope there will be more content for them in future updates and Axel will be out of the picture. It's just frustrating how much he is everywhere in the game.
