He had never tried before, but this time he wanted to try increasing the favorability rating of a male NPC.
Upon their first meeting, the other party had been stealing glances at him; Lind, taking advantage of this rude gaze, successfully invaded his emotions.
Favorability: 10
Lind was somewhat surprised; they had never met before, so why was there such high favorability toward him?
Just as he was preparing to boost William's favorability, Tao Lexi's emotions suddenly erupted; her small, palm-sized face under the big glasses filled with indignation, and her favorability instantly dropped to freezing point.

William's attitude also changed, with Lind's favorability dropping by 2 points.
