Fen had decidedly given me the okay to write the Rival Romance Path at the end of the game, so expect that to be an option.
I don't know if he actually KNEW about Shade, necessarily. Something tells me Victor isn't a fan of sticking around long enough for that.
<3 yesssssss~! and about Shade, I mean think about it, you yourself, IF you choose to be that type of player, probably do impregnate plenty of girls, but it's not like you would ever know if you did or not, same with Vic.(not that I care for Vic really anyway, mostly indifferent)
Also, I just finished up the Myrellion cousin stuff, and I have to say one thing I'm very glad about(spoilers ahead, if you mind), that I was worried about how it'd be, is that your cousin wasn't touched at all. I mean the obvious thing would be for her to have been raped after being beaten, but I'm so so glad that I think her being "saved" for you is what seems to be the case, between her not being touched there, and as is indicated by the fact that she is super repulsed by servicing Taivra in the bad end, implying that she does not do anything sexual at all.
I also did the half-win bad end, where you can have your cousin be your "bed warmer", and I have to say, the rival part was one of the more disturbing things I've read in game, with it being super not detailed too...(I don't think I even could bring myself to read the mentioned scene in detail) because basically the whole game revolves around characters forcing themselves on each other, but it's always like half-consensual, but the description for how it goes with your rival is that there was "clawing, screaming, crying"... needless to say that's not quite what I want... that does make it interesting though for how you'd "romance" your cousin, since evidently she is NOT like the other characters who just "succumb" to you forcing yourself on them.
ALSO(yes more), something is MAYBE kinda revealed about the cousin in the scenes, but it's up for interpretation... like your cousin is "screaming for you" as you take a final blow in the half-win defeat, but I dunno if it's supposed to be screaming worried for your safety, or her just being upset you're about to lose. And apparently your cousin starts saying "I love you" when she thinks you're asleep, after what could only have been days or weeks of being your "bed warmer"(it's not specific about how much time passed), which seems like a weirdly short amount of time for her to have been BROKEN into saying such a thing.
