That's what I first used. But after 225 000 words of the story, it just sounded stupid, so I changed it.Thank you for your time to respond ...
(I just started with the game and I use the crunched version since without nopy it has become some problem to download bigger files ... )
Imho even if they live together like brother and sister, I guess they would phrase it "he/she is like a brother/sister to me" instead of "he/she is my brother/sister".
They spent every day of the last ten years together. They are past the "like brother and sister", just like you wouldn't say that to your adoptive sister, as it would just be equivalent to "Yeah, we're pretty close but you know, you will never really be a part of that family".
At least, that's how I see it.
That scene needs some heavy rework.I just got the scene with Cassi on 2nd morning where she gets angry for mc checking her out. Considering the dialog near shower on the day before where she asked if he finds her prettier than Eve and more or less teasing him by inviting him to join her and Eve in the shower, her reaction seems wrong ... imho she probably would be flattered and even if she reacts with anger, it would be played anger (roleplaying), not negatively affecting her sympathy for the mc ...
It's on my to do list, but obviously not yet done.
