Wow, that's just...wow. Thank you for your report on this.
Some of the commentary made me laugh 😄
That is indeed weird and wonky and, I would say, shows that, without meta gaming (including weird gymnastics and Long Rest spamming), it's not really possible to enjoy the story, and in this case the romance with Gale, in a way that's coherent and sensible. Which is not ideal 😐
Side note : I also truly wonder if the romance would have continued after the party (Path 2) 😶 But I won't blame you for having enough at that point 😅
That was a lot of work!
