Poll results and next steps

The Results Are In! Thank you, everyone, for voting!
The poll has officially closed, and the winner is... Chloe! 🎉
It looks like many of you are eager to see Chloe's storyline unfold first.

I'll be diving into her branch of the narrative and focusing on developing her route for the next full update.
I know some of you were hoping for Xue or Selene, and I want to assure you that their stories are definitely still on the horizon! Your votes have simply determined the order in which I'll be working on them.
Rest assured, I'm just as excited to explore their paths as I am Chloe's.
I'll keep you all updated on my progress as I work on Chloe's route. Thanks again for participating in the poll and for your continued support!
