Aster sitting in a leaking room with one bowl and a flickering lamp? Devastating.

That's why we root for him.
Three girls collapsing in laughter after Aster mentions spirit stones? Perfect comic relief. Then chibi-Aster with heart-eyes and nosebleed over the red-haired beauty? I screamed.

She doesn't yell or cry — just stands beside Aster, calm as moonlight. When she asks if he's okay, her voice is soft but steady.

Cathy wants recognition, Evelyn offers stability, Red-Haired Lady brings comfort and… uh, assets? Aster's caught between guilt, gratitude, and glandular attraction.
