Seeing it all rendered in real life… sure, it was sacred and awe-inspiring—but it didn’t stir up any actual faith in him. The only thing in Yuri’s head right now was the thought of meeting his living, breathing favorite character.ed132ac254fe3780

It made sense, though. Leon had always b9be5cf40e been an un-romanceable 50f59656e6 NPC in the 602cf774db game, so his 2080bbfcbd relationship with the 1fecb302da player—even with Yuri—had 35a0335c59 never progressed past e4c5ea9fcc polite coworkers serving fcd28c49f5 the goddess.ac3fe27392e75a6a
