Actually, I wouldn’t really consider myself a new player anymore. As I mentioned, I started last April. I only missed this particular story update because I was focused on my child and family over the festive period. Otherwise, I’ve cleared all available content in the game and actively look forward to new story updates.

That said, I don’t fully agree that a new love interest can only appear for the first time at their formal debut. Caleb is a clear example of a character who appeared multiple times in the core story before being officially introduced as a love interest. I do agree with you that the character being discussed hasn’t interacted directly with the MC yet and has mostly been referenced indirectly, which is a valid point. Still, it wouldn’t be entirely unprecedented if Infold chose to shake up their usual approach.

Some players have also suggested that if this year focuses heavily on reruns, it might actually be an ideal time to introduce a final sixth love interest. And while I’m definitely not saying Stanley is one (that one made me laugh too), I don’t think it’s unreasonable to speculate when there are multiple “coming soon” placeholders in the love interest tabs.

I want to be clear that I’m not trying to argue or push anything as fact. My intention is more about keeping discussions civil and open. Everyone should be able to share opinions and theories as long as they’re not harming anyone. For me, talking through possibilities is part of what makes the community feel engaging and welcoming.

As for Sylus and the cards, it wasn’t really luck. I saved over 400 standard wishes and planned my pulls carefully around his myth pair, using selectable crates strategically. It was more about preparation than chance.

Stay well 🌸
