A solo Monica run was tough - and in some not obvious ways you still had to "go along" with other LIs - otherwise it was game over. It wasn't as simple as ignoring everyone else.Yes. You don't have to pursue anyone you don't want to. You can also use the start at any episode feature and adjust who it is you are dating and what type of relationships you have with the others. It will let you continue where you left off with your relationship still in tact and the maximum amount of points for that character up to that point. Might be worth using if you don't want to restart the game.
