The restrictions were quite interesting, and I loved how MC reacts to others based on previous relationship with the bestie. I am also very curious to see where the story goes based on who was behind the whole thing.

Thank you! It did take some extra effort to add alternate dialogue based on your previous relationships, but it makes the most sense since I think it would be messed up to write as if the MC forgot about A after everything happened

I think im in love again ooooo i love apollo and this entire story!!
Thereās no way you start it like that. you straight up yank Anna away. Almost cried. Unless thereās a time jump or something I donāt see my MC romancing anybody else and the āthis doesnāt feel rightā isnāt helping lol makes me feel terrible t
he world building is insane. Its nice to see how the org works and how they run missions.
One thing I noticed is when you first get your powers and you pick wanderer, then pick the revolver it treats it like you used the katana when the MC thinks back on it in the hospital. I was thoroughly confused reading it.

So do the bold flirty option automatically get blocked off for other characters if we chose to have a relationship with Apollo??? My MC is outspoken, yet all the straightforward flirt choices are locked.
Edit: Nevermind, I just scrolled up and saw you spoke on that whole thing a little but already.
I may be insane (scratch that, I AM insane)
But Iāve been thinkingā¦ Ib romance

Hello, I am back, I apologize for replying so late
@Takashi_Shin Today is your lucky day!
@Lonily Thank you! Apollo/Anna are also one of my favorites haha
@JohnKittz Thank you for the bug report, I believe it should be fixed now. Also, thank you for your kind words, Iām glad you noticed the guilty comments if you try to flirt when you already chose to be in a relationship with Anna/Apollo 
@Shenice_L Yes, unfortunately, that is the case. Later on in the story, there will be an option to boldly flirt with your love interest even if you agreed to be in a relationship with Anna/Apollo, though that will come with its own hurdles, hope you can understand!
To each their own haha

New August Update
Hello everyone,
Apologies for being gone for a while, I had a lot of life things I had to handle. I am happy to announce that I have updated Before the Incident with an additional 50k words. This completes chapter 3, 4, and partially part of chapter 5. I am also testing a new mechanic regarding the end of the prologue, spoilers ahead if you have not read the prologue:
The Unspoken Mechanic
This is a new choice you can select at the end of the prologue. If you have feelings for Anna/Apollo, you can choose to not confess, but still internally acknowledge that you have romantic feelings for them. Usually, if you partnered with Anna/Apollo, only subtle flirt options are available with a side of guilty comments. However, with the unspoken mechanic, this will allow you to boldly flirt with other characters. This will lead to some new comments/text if you choose to flirt with other characters.
Please note this is an experimental mechanic. I only implemented it for it to affect choices in chapter 1 and a small portion of chapter 2. I am trying to gather feedback on this mechanic to see if this is what readers would like in their game.
As always, please let me know if there are any bugs, name/pronoun issues, etc. Thank you for reading!

There is an issue that when battling the demons in the orphanage it refers to the arbiter set of abilities as painter.
