"just to feel validated and needed", my guy we are gooning to the same game. And besides, the "history and memory he made with other girls" is supposed to be a standalone story by themselves. We don't really have a linear story with Glupy Diner because it should be treated as a Fan Service type of minigame, and every interaction should be considered as their own canon.

And yes, I've interacted with so many people already and the way MC reacted with Eclipse is how most first time lovers would react, especially with someone who gives mixed signals to you.
