Francesco Love love loves pda. He's very proud of Vesper (and to be with them!) and would hope that they feel similar to him. This would be a great way to validate him!

Keir Not really his thing day-to-day, but there are always exceptions (genuine displays of emotion that just happen to be in public, doing it for The Bit, etc.).

Oleander His public presence is always at least a little bit of a performance for an audience, so while he has no objections to PDA personally he's not likely to give or receive any unless he thinks there's a good reason.

It was nannies provided by the agency, yeah. Supernatural ones, obviously, hehe! :D

I try not to get too much into the MC's past, as I like people to be able to headcanon what they like (I have quite some varied ones for my own characters, hehe!), though there are definitely some things more set. Some of which come up in Book Four!

Hello! After getting several asks about how to activate the Established Rivals [ER] dynamic, I decided it'd be harder to keep hiding it, especially as the story progresses further.

I won't include this information in the game or in the Romance System Overview, but this post will be linked in the Q&A. For those who want to avoid spoilers, the information is hidden below the line.

Before you continue to the guide, I'd like to once again emphasize one important thing:

This dynamic is supposed to be a bonus for readers who happened to like both ROs and ended up unlocking this option naturally. In my opinion, readers who only like one of the two ROs [or play specifically to get this dynamic] will most likely end up disappointed because it's not a love triangle route and it has minimal impact on the narrative overall. This was already mentioned in the Romance System Overview, so please keep that in mind if you're planning a specific playthrough just to unlock it.

Well, the MC isn't really leading them on in the love triangle, which is why F isn't so upset.

F has empathic abilities, so can really feel that they're all in love and really struggling and suffering under the complicated situation!

F is more annoyed that they all won't just be open about it! :D

But that won't be as much of an issue soon...

Wait, why so much love for Seb?? 🤔 Let me see something.

Read the content warnings for this one. It will not be for everyone.

DEMO (TBA) —

Your whirlwind romance to the charming, mysterious Holland Quinn felt like a dream come true; you held the same common interests, and your family and friends loved them.

Getting engaged was a natural step, even if the relationship was still so new. However, on your wedding day, the perfect fairytale Holland had crafted for you turns into a hellish nightmare.

Dressed in your wedding garb, ready to walk down the aisle with the love of your life, the venue is suddenly blown to pieces, and you learn that Holland Quinn, your spouse, is an Interpol agent, and a mob boss with a grudge is after them. And after you too, now.

Forced to flee, life as you know it is over, but Holland swears to you the love you share is real.

Will you believe that and stand by the spy you married, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?

۶۟ৎ Customize your Main Character as you wish: gender and pronouns, appearance from height to physical features, personality traits, flaws, job profession, hobbies, and much more.

۶۟ৎ Travel the word as a runaway, find the good in the bad, and learn some high-level defense skills to protect yourself and those you care about.

۶۟ৎ Fight back against a mob boss with a grudge, ask favours of shady individuals, and walk the thin line between morality and immorality. Your life is on the line, after all.

۶۟ৎ Repair the relationship between you and your spouse and learn who they truly are.

Holland Quinn (gender-selectable F/M) is the only romance option available in this piece of interactive fiction.

Holland is your spouse and an unparalleled agent in Interpol, with a near perfect track record, and too many dark secrets to count.

The Interpol used to be Holland's way of life, and being a spy was all they knew what to be. Until the carefully planned day the two of you met.

When the truth comes out, Holland is stuck at a crossroads, between the life they thought was the only one for them, and the life they promised to build with you.
