12/22
Looks like I was right, but they call it a "Stopover day" instead of a bonding day like normal which is cuddly. I walk around almost every area outdoors on the topside as well as the bar and the church without running into any events. I do see my boy Andre again which is nice. Finally on the other side of the top floor I finally find someone, my main man Machias. He wants to go check out the Technology Institute so away we go, and he gets startled by an RC car driving by. To be fair seeing a tiny car in their world would be kinda crazy lol. They get roped into racing them and invite Jusis out to join them, but then Jusis and Machias get too into it and crash into each other while Rean coasts to victory. Another day, another instance of Rean being the best at something.

I head over to the Reinford building that I neglected earlier and just have hordes of people inside thanking me for saving the day. Just an average Wednesday for ol' Rean Schwarzer. On the top floor I find Alisa in her penthouse suite, she wants to examine everything to make sure that the interloper didn't steal anything. While searching her mom's room she finds an unframed photo of their family together hidden away in a book and remarks how important it must be to her, but also that she kept it hidden. Lol Alisa slowly recognizing her mother as a human being is one of the more interesting/relatable subplots of this game so I have been enjoying that one.

I find Sharon in the house, no event with her but I like what she says to Rean: "Some may see your ability to mourn your enemies as weakness, and understandably so, but I see it as you and your classmates strength." I just like when the game talks about how not everyone sees the world as moralistically as they portray these kids because it keeps it from getting too preachy. Though I wish it happened more often, it's still nice when it does.

Alfin is in the library with an event for us, while perusing the library she is dismayed at the lack of romance novels. Wasn't this the grandpa's library? I guess there's a thin line between romance and smut, though we all know where the grandpa falls there. They then play blade and talk about Crow, and Alfin wishes she could be Crow so that her and Rean would be bound by fate together. That would be pretty romantic if it weren't coming from a child, but what can you do...

Walking around looking for more events I find Anton in the hotel who's listening to the radio, which says "Breaking news, an airship has just been hijacked..." Before trailing off. Is this a reference to something in Crossbell? I don't remember anything off the top of my head.

Next I find Gaius by the highway, he wants to go fishing. Finally something not related to the wind! They go and get attacked by monsters, and then fend them off and go home. I wish something else happened that I could talk about, but no. I like how they finally gave Machias a more interesting event but still couldn't come up with shit for Gaius lol.

Towa and Angie are in the diner, but only Towa has a scene. Honestly thinking about Rean and Angie alone seems like kind of a weird vibe so hopefully they don't get any scenes together lol. Everyone has that friend in a friend group they don't really know that well and it gets awkward if you're alone together. That's them.

Once you get into towas event Angie is there too, so I guess it's a package deal. Angelica leaves for a bit to get some ribbons to decorate towas hair with though, and then the two get their heart to heart over their place in society after the war ends. It has her link XP go up at the end and shows some battle traits there, but there's still no Towa portrait for Rean on the links section. I guess they want to wait until they officially unveil her or whatever. Angelica is there however, so I'm assuming she'll be a permanent option from now on, which makes sense.

Milliums chilling on a bench, she needs to go back on the Eisengraf to get something we left behind. We get permission from the railway police and get back onboard, and she's looking for a teddy bear. I randomly had a teddy bear attachment on her arm beforehand so now she is just carrying two bears around and it looks kinda funny lol. Perfect timing! Millium talks a bit about the Chancellor and Rean let's her know she doesn't have to hold it all in and she can cry about his "death" if she wants to, but she seems confused. She reveals that she's never cried before and doesn't understand why someone would! She's either a robot or a fucked up sociopath so I guess we'll have to see what direction the game wants to go. We already have Renne in the latter category though so I'm still gearing towards former. Altina and Millium robot sisters will add some spice to the game after all.

Emma is next, it's her first time in Roer so she asks Rean to show her around. She gets to ride the escalator and see the orbal generator. They sit down and talk about how crazy of a town it is, and Emma legit says, reminds me of something I read in a book, "Technology beyond the comprehension of the observer is indistinguishable from magic." So I guess Arthur C. Clarke is canon in Zemuria? That's the biggest plot twist of the game so far, lol. But they gave another scene where Rean tells Emma she should follow her dreams and not let her duties get her down, you've heard it all before.

Vivi and Linde are reunited in the grocery store, and they both join us onboard the ship this time. Vivi says she will be our chief sexiness officer, which was a vacancy we desperately needed filled.

Jusis is chilling against the wall acting nonchalant, he asks Rean to join him on a shopping trip. He has Rean carry all his shit he buys around and Rean complains that he shouldn't be doing this, but then Jusis claps back with the, just imagine I was Towa, you wouldn't complain then would you? Which is actually a pretty damn good point lmao. Sorry Rean you have to hold the L this time.

Next is Sara who's in Jackass' shop, she wants to take Rean out to the highway for another training session. She gives him a nice speech about how the world isn't fair and people aren't gonna slow down for You, so if you want a place in this world you're gonna have to take it. And then says she's not holding back and will kick his ass, which seems to come true though they agree to call it a draw. Sara always the real one, shoutouts to her. The writing in CS has always felt weird to me but they just moved all the real shit solely to the adults, and the adults just don't get enough screen time. It is what it is, I guess...but I miss Crossbell. All real shit all the time. They were the best.
