Posting a quick preview of this since it'll be quite awhile before people can trigger this conversation normally. (As it requires having sex with Merlin before asking them how your soul tastes, and Merlin's first potential sex scene won't be until the end of Chapter 2).
And yes, Merlin's description changes depending exactly on the MC's personality stats and background.

With 17% of the vote, Arthur barely edges out Adrian to win this month's Far Future Snippet vote.
This scenario comes from a certain Camelot MC and is another snippet that'll have to be broken down when it appears in the actual game, as it's running overlong here.

Okay, something from the actual flirting/dating hub with Merlin. In the cockpit of the RV because there aren't too many romantic spots available in a motorhome fleeing from demons.

This isn't actually from the "go on a date with Merlin" part of the Free Time Hub, but MC taking advantage of Merlin's offer to magically help with their amnesia.
Obviously, this will be very helpful indeed.
Also, just as obviously, I had to go with the version of MC that already tried to punch Merlin in the face.

Who do you want to be the main focus of the next far future snippet?
(Leaving out 404 Error Not Found as still too spoilery at this point and Broderick for hogging too much attention last month, which is an entirely sensible thing to do and not because I'm currently being threatened by a wrench.)

One last somewhat spoilerish preview from Chapter 2-3 before I move on to Chapter 2-4 for good. Triggering this requires passing a whole bunch of stat checks, so I doubt too many people will be finding it naturally.
