Oh wow, thanks for the heads up! I was wondering how exactly Sophora worked. I had a whipping session with Akane and had leash marks giving me damage for walking and I encountered Sophora, practically insta-loss and since I've lost to her once, there's been a couple scenes while walking in areas where I seem to spot someone that matches her description in a crowd but disappears, and Sophora started sending me these stalker-y emails with my life story, and then pictures of my crew members and ship, all from this scrambled email handle. It seems to be Sophora at least because it started happening right after that loss scene. Well, looks like I have two strikes left before perma bad end. Oof.
I wouldn't mind her all that much, if not for the bad end if I encounter her randomly and slip up one of these days. At least I've got one more chance before I have to start worrying. The option to Kill her now shows up after the first defeat, but I wouldn't ever do that, she's just a minor hassle, a psychotic lil bunny, what's the worst she could do? Um. A lot, It seems.
Oh yeah, the other stalker, the actual addiction mechanic one, wonder where she's at now, I haven't seen her in ages!
