Added new story content: Hanamizu exploration hub introduced as a short interlude. It serves as a resting point between arcs, offering optional scenes that strengthen the player’s connection with Aiko, Sakiko, and Nina.

Expanded character interactions: Subtle choices at the start of exploration allow the player to share quiet moments with the heroines, defining vanilla, NTR, or corrupted routes depending on decisions.

New NSFW scenes:
Aiko (vanilla intimacy at the colina).
Sakiko (NTR variants: observation and interruption).
Nina (first corrupted encounter).
Visual improvements:
New renders for colina, market, and sanctuary with improved lighting and atmosphere to highlight the sense of pause and transition.
Remake of older scenes in Thomas’ bar (Aiko only): shadow placeholders for the protagonist and background NPCs have been replaced with proper quality renders for a more polished look.

Route integration: Adjusted flags (Happy_ending, Cuckold_path, Corrupted_path) to ensure these events influence future outcomes.
Script refinements: Dialogue rewritten to present Hanamizu as a moment of calm before upcoming conflicts, avoiding unnecessary depth with secondary characters.

Stability fixes: Cleaned up menus and removed redundant persistent checks that previously caused syntax errors during previous chapters.
