Mari mentioned that all the love interests will have their idea of an ‘ideal’ date in the game (albeit tinted with some sadness). I have a feeling his perfect date would be the MC accompanying him on one of his outings, just the two of them. MC would be bigging him up as they survey and explore giving him some time to show off.

So we all agree you can’t have Cain without Abel right? I head cannon Cain is NOT an only child. A twin brother may be a little derivative however considering the hints of how religious his family are it wouldn’t be surprising that they named a set of twins Cain and Abel. Or maybe Cain WAS a twin but absorbed his sibling in the womb and got given the name of the first committer of murder and fratricide.

A little stereotypical but his necklace is more than an accessory but very much a religious talisman. Imagine an outing with Cain and something goes wrong and he gives it to you for protection.

I like how in his character art you can see a sliver of his stomach – its probably just the design but what if since he doesn’t get out much, he rarely buys clothes so he’s just wearing stuff from when he was a teen and it still fits since he’s so malnourished…. Kind of.

Secretly likes Death Note and see’s himself as similar to L only he’d have caught Kira.

Leading on from that I see Cain as a sore loser, who always has to have the last word or who gets heated pretty quickly when it comes to proving himself right.

It’s a little out there as a head cannon (or maybe not seeing as the VN is not all what it seems) but what if Cain can see things others cannot. In dialogue/interactions with him he usually is only looking at his book and is never described as looking at the others but there are a few times singling out him looking directly at the MC or stopping to look at them. Almost as if he can see something no one else can. He also seemed to recognise them before even being introduced as if he was looking at something familiar.

He does call the MC unremarkable in certain dialogue but what if that’s just to downplay this.

Or maybe its just love at first sight (jk)

On to the topic of Cain as a romance interest. Lets be real he’s likely a no sex, no kissing no hand holding before marriage kind of person. Only because of his upbringing.

I imagine his type is someone more modest and feminine if they’re a girl, or if they’re a man someone clean and preppy.

I wouldn’t say he would dislike someone who dressed more promiscuously but I think he’d struggle with inherent feelings of embarrassment, disgust and desire being out with them. He’d want his love interest to show their body to him and him only, not anyone else.

And oh boy, Cain is probably a jealous person. I imagine down the line he gets sulky and bitter if the MC spends too much time with Genesis or Lottie instead of him. And if they’re spending time with any of the guys well then he is just in a terrible mood and probably will withdraw from them for a while until they reassure him by giving him attention.

(A little NSFW) Completely in the dark when it comes to being intimate. Never seen porn, likely not seen a lot of television growing up that might have exposed him to concepts of love, flirting and intimacy. Skipped all that to end up in some less that helpful circles online when it comes to relationships. He’s more virgin than Mary.

Cain feels nothing when he’s sleep deprived and malnourished. MC is cold? Sure you can have his huge jacket but only if it’s the two of you, he wouldn’t be comfortable without it around the others.

Cain discovering he likes the MC would be a long and painful process. He’d first begrudgingly have to acknowledge that he was thinking of them here and there. Accepting them as someone he’s safe with. But after that the cogs don’t stop turning and quickly, he starts obsessing over them in the back of his head. Finding himself unconsciously doodling their name here and there in his notebook, much to his dismay.

If you ever want to give him an almost heart attack just grab his hand while exploring if you’re scared and get close to him ignore the smell. Yeah his heart might actually just stop.

To be touched is not easy for him but after a while of getting used to you I can see him enjoying the gentle feeling of your fingers. Mainly playing with his hair, combing through them or alternatively rubbing small circles in the palm of his hand.
