C’mon can we just not run away somewhere and do some stupid stuffs. Leave all depressing matters like their father or the rROs behind?

TW : Mention of drug use, depression

I am genuinely sorry for that! If you feel affected, it is best to immediately stop to take a break or reconsider playing for your own safety, Anon.

And don't worry. MC will make a lot of friends. Good friends. Besides the RO casts ofc, so you can choose to pull plenty of stupid stunts (if you wish to do so and can handle the consequences.)

Oh well, I was planning to wait until Chapter 2 is nearly ready but I guess I can just spare some spoilers for those who feel angsty about MC's caged situation.

Spoiler for Ch2

YEP. SO MANY GOOD FRIENDS INDEED.

Oh, it is WORSE than that. Trust me😭😭😭

Hi Anon! for this question I have two versions of explanations for you (I tend to ramble more than I need to so forgive me lol you can just read the short ver. and call it a day!)

Short version

Doesn't want to see his child form an intimate relationship with an Alter or the rising star of the empire differs from generally seeing them in a positive light, considering it is two different matters completely.

Both V and D work for/with Bastien in a way, and while giving them a nod of approval as someone he may allow to exist in MC's lonely childhood, for them to start a whole another form of bond with his kid is another topic in which he most likely doesn't want to even begin to imagine about.

Long version

We will need to take it in context here that Bastien tries to keep MC's existence, and anything related to them, behind closed doors as much as possible. If, let's say, MC somehow falls for D, who has to be in public spotlights all the time. You will start to understand his aversion towards them being in a relationship, right? And we don't need to mention about V bc we all well aware of how taboo/forbidden a romance between Alter and Stargazer is in society. So it's automatically a big no-no for him as well.

It's not like the idea of S being in a relationship with MC will soothe his arching headache more than the other two, but put Eutopia's standard into contexts; choosing S as a partner who has so many powerful strings to pull from for MC's protection is way worth than risking MC's secrets from spilling by entrusting them to a couple of kids (in his pov).

They all are aware. Since they’re also ones of the few people who know about MC’s existence in the first place.

Butterfly Effect Trigger is what happens when choosing choice of actions create another path that is partly, if not entirely, different from other paths. Such as some major events in the game that lead to another conclusion of sorts. Or to some rescues/deaths of specific characters. 

You can see a BET example below here;

When mentioning BET, it stands for Butterfly Effect Triggered. Or you could just call it Butterfly Effect if you’d like. (The acronym is there to make my coding life easier, and I get used to it in datalog. Also I like the double meanings.)

It could also mean your action has already caused a certain path inaccessible. Don't forget that.

You can become edgy and broken if you want, you can also join their ‘miserable club’ if you feel like it. Hell, you can even be the biggest douchebag to all of them if you want to.

This is never-lived-a-life human being who will soon die within one year we’re talking about here. MC don’t really have anything to lose after that condition been brought up on the table, do they? So why would you care, right?

But then again, your actions will have consequences. If you also enjoy that part, you are more than welcome to do anything as you’re pleased anon! (And this is not a threat, I encourage anyone going unhinged to explore the possibilities. In fact, I created some options for that specifically lol)
