Thanks, I love it too! The disabled signs were actually my background artist's own initiative and it's great!
Yep, exactly right. Build 7 contains the last romance interest and there is currently a vote on my Patreon for all paying members on who gets the first update. :D
Pax is a great guy and I can see him being a ray of sunshine in the main character's life and I'd be happy to read his route first if he wins. Though I do wonder if there's a love interest that might have a been more darkness in their past meaning they might be able to empathize with what the main character is going through more. Unless, there's more to Pax than we realize.
