Continued a bit more in CS4 Act 2-1. Finished the semi-required quests.
And this is the other reason I save/reload to watch all the bond events. Crow's was meh and Musse's was at least intriguing so it was Crow who ended up being the odd one out for this round of bonding events. Duvalie's was good as was Altina's. Also it's ironic given how we were all just justifiably criticizing how Trails keeps going down the harem game rabbit hole but the Fie bonding event was actually very well done, IMO and my favorite of the five available here. Though consider me highly exasperated that seeing these bonding events will come with mandatory romance and not a "friends route" type option outside just skipping it. Unless Fie's isn't representative of what's coming since she's the only heart event so far.
Went back to Bryonia Island to explore the other half (and steal that fish Annabelle was after lol) and found another cryptid but it was a complete joke. It moved first when the fight started and then never acted again lol. Kinda strikes me as weird that that Wads guy just basically told Hugo he was untouchable after he was caught scamming Parm. ...Like can't Hugo just fire him? I take it Hugo's dad is the owner/CEO but still. Looks like we'll be off to Ordis next.
