No worries, I already have all of the flags for the girls, so it won't be that much work to change. But I might have to change code that might break saves and make everyone restart so that might be the only annoying part but I'm not 100% sure yet until I start playing around in there.
And I do understand everything you're saying about it being kind of jarring to suddenly go on the solo routes, so yeah. I honestly think the best course of action is to do how I did plan from the beginning and how you are saying about having everyone acknowledge each other is with the MC.
But definitely not messing with each other because I just don't see that, as I have stated here on this very thread months and monthsonth ago. Thank you for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed the update anyway!
