My answer to that would be the same as I did for the stupid militants who complained about Assassin's Creed Odyssey not only having the option of playing with Kassandra: LET US CHOOSE WHAT WE WANT! !!!
If
@The Observer wants to use Rindo as a consolation prize for the Kinu suitor, at least make sure we have a decisive role in that. It could be something very simple like: During a pleasant conversation with Rindo, she comments that Hitoshi/Nakano seemed to gain a melancholy and distant look accompanied by a sigh whenever he saw his cousin walking with Kinu through the colony. As if he longed for the same happiness that the two lovebirds exude in a cloud of love that they feel for each other.
Then we would be given the option to change the subject, kiss her to make her forget the lonely kitsune or motivate her to go there and comfort the rejected suitor. Damn it, if it was our choice instead of a random event with no control, I wouldn't mind playing cupid for every damn fox in the den!
BECAUSE SOMEONE NEEDS TO URGENTLY LOCK AZAMI AND TAKAHIRO IN A ROOM FULL OF WYVERN VENOM FOR THOSE TWO TO TAKE THEIR HEADS FROM THEIR ASSES !!!
