The fact he is from a game leaves a great impact on her behavior if we were to ever isekai then I don't think anyone would be able to have a normal mind and regard the people there as real she also wants to go back to the life where she was independent and people don't have the capacity to identify someone is "real" or fake as for Penelope she is already traumatized by her mother death she is not an empath
Tho I gotta say maybe she should give him some time at the least for him to not be fully heartbroken
And make Penelope a bittersweet first love
True that’s how I feel
I still believe she’ll end up having to complete all their routes or just end up with the crown prince
I don’t really like how Penelope is disregarding that this is still Eclis’ reality and that he has feelings for her since anyone would want to do whatever to get out of the game
