Kyle was done with his haircut but he didn't want to go back home straight away because he needed the fresh air.
He sat in a park and simply took in his environment, appreciating everything that came with being alive because attempting suicide was no easy feat.
It took a different level of bravery and that still affected Kyle. He decided to end it all only to find something to live for but this emptiness still existed within him.
A part of him that longed for human connection.
Maybe that's why the system introduced a harem category. Did it understand his innermost desires, he had done things he wouldn't have done otherwise thanks to the affection bar and that was why he felt closer to Jane.
Without that affection bar, he wouldn't be inclined to be so direct and the affection bar in real time would have been dangling at around 20% or thereabout.
