"???"
Ryan was totally baffled, nearly dropping the plate he was about to take to the kitchen.
Alice looked up, puzzled, meeting Ryan's eyes before quickly averting her gaze, confirming the voice in her head wasn't just her imagination.
She's shy, isn't she? She must be shy!
Ryan's mind was in turmoil, but he tried his best to act like nothing was amiss.
After putting the plate in the kitchen, he peeked through the crack of the door at Alice, making sure she wasn't looking his way before he could no longer hide his shock.
What the heck is a 'favorability rating'? Since when did my system have this feature?
And why on earth is Alice's favorability towards me so high?
Does she see me in such a light that she couldn't possibly harm me?
If a stranger's favorability is between 0 and 30, and a friend's is between 30 and 60, it seems the lady has already considered me a friend.
