Can't decide who I like more between Sam and Valerie, both are super charming. I also really like Kristen, it's a shame she's only a side character. Emily is super interesting, I'm curious where her story's gonna go, but I have no interest in seeing her and MC get back together, they don't seem like a good fit. Although shame on you dev for not giving us a creampie option!
Unfortunately, I have zero interest in the sister. Gung-ho news reporter vibe and generic incest character didn't particularly catch my interest. Which given that she seems to be the lead LI, I may lose interest at some point. But for now I really like this story and can't wait for episode 3.
