>>54642726Yeah, I think you do have a point honestly. It's a little weird because Kieran is probably the youngest out of all of the "friend NPCs", so I was a little surprised. It seemed to me like they made Arven and Nemona a little bit older on purpose so it wouldn't seem weird (to adults).
There's also pic related which made me take a double take, it's almost straight up flirting. It really is a little blatant, isn't it?
Regarding the other two:
Nemona has this moment in her post-game event where you are in her dom room, and you're talking about how much you appreciate each other's friendship or something among those lines. She says stuff like "don't make me blush!" and that she got a little embarrassed. She definitely likes you very much, not just for battle purposes.
Arven is very abrasive at the beginning, but slowly opens up to you - and only you - to the point where he shares some of his most vulnerable feelings with you. It feels very personal and almost intimate. There's also two scenes where he has direct bodycontact with the MC, once when you fall down into Area Zero and he grabs the protag by the wrist to pull them closer, then by the hips to seat them on the Raidon
(made me feel a little funny, ngl) and then in the Ending Cutscene where he puts his hand on the MCs shoulder. There's also a postgame scene similar to Nemona's in his dorm room.
