"the love interest i love most is the one that's currently on screen"
Very relatable.
My "ranking" is entirely based on "you only have 20 dollars in your wallet. Who's the one you'll go 'oh bummer' for if you don't get him"
I actually got the game because of Sylus, but when I had to decide who to spend my budget for, I had to admit I needed to get Raf. That was a very honest moment for my heart lol

That's definitely the vibe Sylus gives me as well. He's not in a hurry and he's not worried in the real sense of the word because he can join or leave the game with MC whenever he wants, he already knows how things will end. He's possibly just waiting for MC to catch up and choose him. Once she's all in, he'll close the circus.
Meanwhile Caleb is fighting for his life, deep in the trenches lol

Whether Ever is intentionally killing the planet or if it's an accidental result of their experiments is not clear. Just like it isn't clear whether Philos is Earth or another planet where humanity will move once Earth is dead.

As usual, some of these doubts will be solved with Myths and World Underneath and Anecdotes.
But let's look at each LI's involvement:

- Caleb = deeply involved. It isn't explicitly clear what the Fleet or Ever is getting from him, but he's definitely getting something from them. Could be insider info to keep MC safe, or something else.
- Xavier = comes from the future. At least one of his past crewmates turned to Ever. Xavier himself has a collar with their logo. Why and how he's involved with them isn't clear.
- Zayne = was doing research on protocores and hearts, something Ever became interested in thanks to the promising results. They keep on trying to recruit him to no avail. He seems to be aware of the experiments done on MC by her grandma and others when she was a child. Ever keeps on trying to recruit him.
- Rafayel = for now what you know is that since Lemuria was rediscovered, Ever has been researching lemurians.
- Sylus = from the slideshow during the release of the new section Death&Rebirth, we know that the guy just arrived at the right place at the wrong time lmao. Dude just plopped down on Earth during an apocalypse. Both Ever and Onychinus work with Protocores, so we can presume they're business rivals. Also, I remember at least one guy Sylus killed in his main story section who was from Ever.
