What is The Awkward Acquaintance?
The Awkward Acquaintance is a Compromise ending - neither fully good nor bad. You successfully earn the money for your operation, but Harvey is visibly uncomfortable with your constant intimate advances like cheek kisses. The relationship ends on an uncertain, awkward note.
This ending sits between The Savior (best ending) and the bad endings. You push boundaries but stop before crossing the line into truly harmful territory.
