Really great update, thank you, Pandaman!
The first scene was very spicey and very good animated, all praise is well earnd!
The overall story part of this chapter was good and fitted very well the overall tone of your game. Even the last few renders and lines of text. It shows how human our three protagonists are. And I believe, after seeing this, it will stay with us for at least the next one or two chapters. Something heavy like this, isn't easily forgotten or processed. The MC is lucky to have his accompaniment. They will definitly be off great help, taking into account how the three helped each other until now. Maybe it will even help to get MC and Emilia to get a lot closer. Can't wait for the next chapter!
