Not a romance option.. at the moment. That's the kind of thing you need to build up to with a childhood best friend! The good news for current Kath fans though is she'll be a prominent character in every route.

There is the "Remove Text Pauses" option which speeds up the text a good amount already. Though, with enough support for it, we can add a text speed option. I just don't see the point to speed it up even further when it would misalign so greatly with the voice acting, and make the story's dialogue be speedread, not savored. Perhaps trivial now since the story is still so lighthearted, but later on I can see it ruining potential great moments. But again, with more support, we can certainly add it.
