"Arven must've been a scrapped love interest for the protag beca-" no. you just have a crush on him. ship yourself with arven, coward. but arven calls florian/juliana "little buddy" which is, you know, the same thing he calls his DOG. the same thing DADS call their SONS. in the original japanese, when talking to you he calls HIMSELF Nii-Sama (big bro). this is the most obvious "older brother figure" character I've seen in a while. he's not in love with the MC. you're just in love with him. bite the bullet and selfship, coward.
