Synopsis

Eclis, expressing concern for Penelope's well-being, proposes they run away from the Empire together, revealing a significant change in his character and feelings. Penelope, meanwhile, is internally conflicted, recognizing that this path is likely fatal in the game's hard mode. She grapples with the differences between normal and hard mode mechanics, particularly how to increase Eclis's favorability to the maximum level. She also reflects on what will happen to the love interest's memories and favorability in normal mode.
