	    SPECIAL NOTE
-----------------------------------

We regret to tell you that you cannot romance your boss, even in a secret unlockable way. He is in a very happy relationship with his lovers, Jyn and Derth, and isn't seeking other partners at this time. Sometimes life is like that.

However, he would wish only the best for you, and will support you with all his heart. Treat yourself to some good mercury salt. Thank you for playing our game.
