So, you've found this...

You mean to tell me months—if not YEARS—of development. …and your solution was to throw the ENTIRE SIXTH LOVE INTEREST into the trash?

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

I'm not saying people shouldn't have been angry about the 731 reference. They absolutely had every right to be. Unit 731 is one of the darkest chapters in history and if that reference was made carelessly, then yes, people deserved an apology and an explanation.

But explain to me how Valko became the sacrificial lamb here.

Who exactly does this help? The people who were hurt by the reference? They still deserve accountability.

The people who were excited for Valko? Congratulations, you just told them to go fuck themselves.

The developers who spent who knows how long creating an entirely new LI? Their work gets deleted overnight.

So what was the goal here?

Because this doesn't feel like taking responsibility. It feels like corporate damage control.

Fix the story.

Rewrite the chapter.

Delete the offending reference.

Delay the release.

Fire whoever thought using 731 and 611 was acceptable if you have to.

But deleting an ENTIRE CHARACTER because of a mistake in ONE PART OF THE GAME is such an absurd overreaction that I genuinely can't wrap my head around it. I'm just so unbelievably disappointed. because Infold's response was somehow even worse than the original mistake.

We lost a character.

The developers lost their work.

We got introduced to the new Li during the live!

So Valko a werewolf I guess?

Red hair, yellow eyes wolf's ears a tail and a mask!

𝖢ɑ𝗍 𝖦𝗈𝗍 ɣ𝗈υ𝗋 Τ𝗈𐓣𝗀υ౿?

"AhhhHHHHH! GET AWAY! GET AWAY!" 

Sylus bursts through the door a second later, one hand still clenching the metal knob he accidentally yanked off and the other doused in reddish black swirls, ready for attack. 

"Rafayel! What's going—oh no." The white-haired man's evol instantly dissipates, the same hand now reaching up to pinch his nose bridge at the scene before him. 

Because Rafayel the sea god, the assassin, a man revered by even N109's greatest foes, now cowers in the corner of their bedroom with a fireplace poker in hand. Over a cat. 

"STAY BACK you wretched beast! Sylus, grab that thing while I'm fending it off!" 

Raf then jabs the stick towards you for further emphasis. You peer back at Sylus, your tail swishing annoyedly from where you lounge along the bed, unimpressed. 

"…meow."

₍^. .^₎⟆

Rafayel just stares wide-eyed at you now curled up across from him in Sylus's lap, the Lemurian for once completely at a loss for words.

Eventually, he finds the ability to speak again. 

"So that's—" 

"Y/n, yes." 

"And it's—" 

"Temporary." 

"But how—" 

"From an unknown metaflux complication. The Association sent out an alert this morning when she arrived at the house then..transformed shortly after." 

Raf nods absentmindedly, his rounded eyes never once straying from yours. You frown and tilt your head at him. 

"Meow?" 

(So are we okay?) 

Rafayel smiles sheepishly. 

"Meow, meow." 

(Yeah, we are.) 

You jump off Sylus and onto the couch, easing your way over until you sit inches away from your other partner. Slowly, the purple-haired man uncrosses his legs and carefully picks you up before hugging you to his chest, rubbing his nose against yours, you curling into his arms and purring at the sensation.

Sylus's heart warms for all of three seconds before the two of you start an immediate gossip session in a language he doesn't understand. 

"Meow meow meow!" 

(Raf you won't believe what I can do!) 

"Meow?" 

(Like what?) 

"Meow, meow meow! …meow meow." 

(I'm so agile now, and my sense of smell is off the charts! …um don't tell Sylus but his feet really stink.) 

Rafayel bursts out laughing and even you hiss in amusement, your tail waving happily in the air. 

Sylus huffs at the sense the joke is about him and quirks a brow. "What's so funny?" 

The two of you pause and look at each other. 

"Uh nothing." 

Sylus tsks at his boyfriend's burning red ears before turning to glower at you. 

"Don't lie to me, kitten." 

"EW! Don't call her that! She's not one of them!" Rafayel retorts, immediately bringing you up closer to him until your face squishes against his cheek. 

"M-meow!" you grit out from the intensity of his hold. 

(I-it's okay!) 

"No cutie, I won't stand for it!" Yet he stands up anyway while still cradling you like something fragile. "We'll see you later, Sylus." 

"And where are you two going?" The red-eyed man asks, an amused smirk now fixed on his lips. 

"My studio. We're going to go harass the seagulls." 

"MEOW!"
