Hi Everyone,
I hope you're doing well!
We had a poll last month about the subject of this wallpaper, which could have been either The Lonely Road or The Lush Forest. Both of the scenes fit perfectly with this time of year since they showcase Fernweh's encompassing greenery. I appreciate your help with the choice; in the end, The Lush Forest won with 59% of the votes. š²

Question: "Mal seems to be an expert in customer service, how do they handle the most pushy/rudest ones who are less placated by a pleasant smile?"
Answer:
"Killing themā¦" Mal pointedly trails off, smirking to themself as the implication hangs in the air, seemingly causing the atmosphere of the Fernweh Diner to become grim. "With kindness, of course." Their focus remains exclusively trained on you to detect any change in your expression...

Question: "Does R have an interest in things like amusement parks/bungee jumping or anything that might not "fit" a Verner Heir but had to refrain from ever acting out on those desires due to their position?"
Answer:
The answer to this is an emphatic 'yes'!
Does that mean R always abided by their position? No, it doesn't. There is a choice option within Chapter 3 where R admits to once having tried to scale the obelisk in th...

Question: "Most visited place in Fernweh?"
Answer:
Hmm, the townsfolk do enjoy the town square. I know the MC's introduction to it can make it seem rather ominous rather than a good place for a picnic or to take an evening stroll, lol. This area has greenspace, nice flower beds, great sightlines, and even shops that help to outline the space; plus, the obelisk and the looming, stately courthouse can make it feel a little special too.
