Poll: Locking In Route

Hey guys! Here's a quick poll for you to weigh in on this decision. 

So in Reanimation Scheme, you basically lock in a love interest's route by the end of Chapter 3. Currently, there's a small additional scene at the end of Chapter 3 after the point which the demo stopped at, followed by a sort of "tiebreaker" / confirmation choice — if there's a love interest you've gained two or more points with in the common route, their name will show up as an option for you to potentially lock in. 

A sneak peek of how it looks right now when you get to that point:

However, I'm kind of wondering if I should keep this tiebreaker choice bit.  

Pros: 

• More forgiving towards players — player can ensure they're on the route they intend to go for
• Makes subsequent playthroughs a little easier 
• More clarity as to which route you're on and who you're romancing 

Cons:

• Feels a bit unnatural. I'm struggling to make the tiebreaker choice actually make sense in the context. After all, the choice can't really straight up be "Who do you want to romance?" It's framed in terms of the plot, a choice for Raenelle to decide who to do something with. But what that something is is a bit rough, because it has to make sense for all 5 love interests -- cough, looking at you, Kierdan (why would Raenelle ever choose Kierdan for anything is beyond me). You can see from the above that I do currently have the tiebreaker choice written out, but I'm not 100% pleased with it.
• Reduces significance of previous choices in the common route (Chapters 1 to 3) a bit, though it does still determine which love interests are even available in this final route lock-in choice — but I mean, two points isn't hard to get with a love interest.

Let me know what you guys think! More in-depth comments or suggestions are always welcome in the comments below as well! :)
