if you don’t mind me asking how long does the Mc get to process the break up like will they get a couple days or will they get thrusted in to a fight like a couple hours after 
I want to keep the specifics of how the ‘break-up’ and everything else will happen under wraps somewhat still, but I can confirm Ignis and Seeker will confess their feelings about a week or two before the MC has to set out for the final battle.
If you’re smart, you don’t even have to see either of them until that battle except for one planning scene, most of your time then will be spent with Aki and Forlorn.

Not Mars and Nova? I kinda pity Aki in that case since my mc and Forlorn absolutely do not get along. I can almost picture it now my mc and Forlorn both communicating only through and with Aki instead of directly talking to one another.

Extremely optimistic if you think Aki and Forlorn will be on speaking terms by the end of Book 1.
You’ll get some chances to talk to Nova and Mars too- the whole cast, depending on what you do with free time, but your ‘work time’ will be occupied by Forlorn and Aki.
I need to make the old soldier eat his “I’m not teaching the MC anything” words somehow.

Then I guess Nova may have to build a go-between mc to Forlorn and reverse translator/protocol droid because my mc isn’t exactly on speaking terms with Forlorn right now.

I think most MCs will soften on Forlorn somewhat as his story gets revealed and he continues to extract the stick out of his ass, but I do have some plans for the MCs that don’t like him.
Something I’ve not touched on much, at least beyond Seeker and Forlorn (and in the latter’s case, that’s mostly in the lore articles), is the different ways that the main trio resorts to fighting.
Seeker kills and maims, Forlorn cripples and tries to break the will to fight (see him continuously breaking the bones off that villain mentioned in Ignis’s diary), and Ignis, being normal, focuses mostly on capture and incapacitation.
Once Forlorn begins taking over the MC’s final training, you’ll have a chance to follow Aki’s example and test your recent education on the man that gave it to you.

I dunno about that since he treated the mc a lot better when we fought our first real fight and when we helped him come back to his senses in the battlefield protecting Aki from him.

Oh shit nice, I finally get a sparring session while not holding back with him.

For was so against helping out so it’s about he did something instead leaving it to Seeker, Nova and Ignis. I’m sure he can do it in own unique way that doesn’t involve tearing the mc limbs off.

It’s finally time to decide who is stronger between him and Seeker.

I guess my mc is still mostly like Ignis right now in that regard.
Which to my mc only proves what an absolute menace Forlorn is, at least Seeker and presumably Victoria at least have self-control, even their moral code is orange and blue. Again it will take a lot more than a weak apology for my mc to get over the fact that if it weren’t for Seeker Forlorn would have turned him into pulp without a second thought.
I guess my mc will be one of the ones who absolutely do not like Forlorn no matter what his sob story is. Most of the the team seem to have their own sad and tragic stories, including the mc with the prologue events, none of the others are quite the menace Forlorn is. At some point a sad story ceases to be a valid excuse.
So he kills without even giving the mc a chance to explain themselves? Cause that is what he was gonna do. And protecting Aki that is rich, since in the one truly high pitched battle we are involved in we kinda have to protect Aki from Forlorn.

We are still not sure what exactly caused him to snap like that so it might not be directly his fault. Sure he can rub u the wrong way sometimes but that’s just who he is. He won’t directly thank the mc for doing a good job. The mc was an outsider so he had no reason to trust and was being protective of the team especially Aki.
I don’t think he would of murdered the Mc maybe brought to the point needing a hospital severely beaten since all the heroes have code against killing despite how mad they are cos it just serve as proof that the powered act needs to happen. I understand your point through

Are you sure about that.
Also I’m with @idonotlikeusernames, sign me up for settling down with Mars and/or Nova to watch the rest of these psychos figure themselves out.
inb4 Nova/Mars is about to have their own massive crisis

I mean, in comparison, Ignis is a very well-adjusted person whose issues could get a lot better if she just had a therapist to talk to about them.
If Forlorn talked to a therapist, he’d be committed to a mental hospital.
If Seeker talked to a therapist, the therapist would be committed.
To a funeral.
With a closed casket.

Who in the main cast would actually go to therapy, if they realized they might need it? Any of them?
Ignis isn’t opposed to therapy in principle, but she fears the bad press of the public realizing it to go (there’s a lot of stuff Ignis doesn’t do because of fearing backlash). I’m not an expert myself of course, but despite the trauma, what Ignis really needs is a loving environment where she can relax and feel safe in.
Forlorn knows therapy is a good and valid thing, but he doesn’t think there’s anyone around with the qualifications to attend to him or who he would trust to talk to about his trauma.
Victoria never said Seeker needs therapy so he doesn’t need therapy.
Nova does go to therapy semi-frequently, and while Mars doesn’t, he tries to deal with most of his issues in healthy ways.
Lat would go if she thought it’d help, but she’s a pretty ‘okay’ cookie at the moment, she doesn’t really need it.
Aki thinks therapy is weird but valid. By the time she needs it, she’s going to be too high on her own supply to realise it.
Iris has government-mandated therapy sessions, and she enjoys them quite a bit.
