Zebra ZQ630
: Combat or social bonuses based on your partner’s unique skills.
Key mechanic : If the player dismisses the NPC during this window, the romantic path may lock permanently. Phase 3: Integrated Partnership

: NPCs remember small details—a gift you gave early on or a side quest you prioritized—and bring them up during pivotal romantic moments.
Once a relationship is "locked in," the partner becomes a permanent part of the gameplay loop.
