The MC arrives at Clauden's house, asking if it was really him he spent time with on the mountain. Clauden denies it, saying, "No, I only did it for the money."
Dang. . . . Whyyyy
He probably denied it because he was scarred after getting horribly beaten up
there's apparently going to be a side story
Anyone spoil me. . . One of the comments says it's Bad ending. . . but did they still end up together?
