Master / Alex

• Master_FirstNotice fires the first time he sees you in something feminine (or finds the drawer).
• Master_SubtlePush is the follow-up: a suggestion, easy to refuse without consequence.
• Master_PantiesHint is the first real ask. Refuse (Master_PantiesRefuse) and you bank cooldown; accept (Master_PantiesAcquire) and you’re locked into the morning inspection rhythm.

Independent route skips all of these. Day 5 fires a self-discovery scene instead.

• Morning_Inspection runs every couple of mornings. Checks chastity, panties, makeup.
• Master_MorningCheck is the lighter version (no inspection just a question).
• Morning_Curfew_Violation fires if you stayed out past curfew. Real consequence: -2 MR + Sub gain.
• Pass the inspections and his rewards start landing (Master_Reward, small gifts, brief praise).

• Master_Private_Inspection is the first private-encounter scene. He calls you to his room. Submit (Master_Inspection_Submit) or resist (Master_Inspection_Resist).
• This is the inflection point. Submit and the deeper private encounters start rotating.

• Master_Private_Praise, he tells you what he sees in you. Submit (Master_Praise_Submit) for relationship gain + PostReward; stay neutral or reject for cooldown.

• Master_HypnoSession, gated behind hypno_exposure >= 25 (build up via computer hypno content). Master-led conditioning.

• Sarah_Master_Offer, only fires if Sarah has been discovered AND sarah_tension >= 4 AND the arc hasn’t been picked at the coffee shop yet AND she’s not disabled.
• Refuse (Sarah_Master_Offer_Refuse), door closed, you stay on whichever arc Sarah is heading toward.
• Listen (Sarah_Master_Offer_Listen), he pitches the dynamic. You can still decline. Accept and sarah_arc = 3, the Sarah Cuckold path opens.

This is the only way to reach the Cuckold ending. The coffee-shop decision doesn’t have a Cuckold option.

• Master_Private_Test, he asks you to prove something. Kneel (Master_Test_Kneel) for the deepest submission scene; Stubborn / Refuse / HardRefuse for the resistance branches.
• Master_Private_Service, chore-style submission. Obey / Refuse / Walkout / Standoff / Ignore branches.
• Master_Private_CollarCheck, recurring after the collar is given. Submit / Resist / Neutral.

• Master_OpenUp, only fires after a reward scene + MR 7. He drops some of the dominant register and lets you see who he is. One-shot, big relationship swing if you don’t fumble the response.

• Master_Intimate is the route’s climax. Requires the route to be earned across all three axes (relationship, femininity, submission). Sets master_intimate_done.
• Visual + narrative payoff for the whole arc. After this, the private-encounter rotation continues but with a softer post-intimate register.

• Master_Wellness, Patreon-gated. Sets master_wellness_unlocked. Domestic, post-intimacy scenes. The reward content for the long-term Master route.

Pick master_intensity = 0 at character creation. The whole Master scene library is skipped. Day 5 fires a self-discovery scene. Bar dynamics use Marcus as a normal manager. Cuckold arc is not available (it requires a Master).

master_intensity = 1. He’s around but not pressing. Most orders can be refused without major consequence. Slow path to MR 5+ unless you actively comply. Good route for “Master exists in the narrative but doesn’t drive the player’s transformation.”

Reachable: all private encounters except Master Intimate. The cuckold offer fits (just barely, at the Day 21+ cap of 6) if you push.

Not reachable: Master Intimate (needs MR 8), Wellness (needs MR 9). The route was designed as the soft-content variant — you get the private rotation but not the climax scene.

master_intensity = 2. He owns the apartment, rent is leverage, curfew is enforced. The structured experience. Most playtested.

Reachable: cuckold offer, opening-up scene, all private encounter types.

Not reachable: Master Intimate (MR 8). If the climax matters, pick Owner.

master_intensity = 3. Skips the warm-up. He’s not asking, he’s instructing. The intensity-2 escalation arc is compressed. Best for runs where the player wants the deep Master dynamic from day one without grinding through the early “is this happening?” scenes.

Only route that reaches Master Intimate. Requires completing 5 Master Orders (chastity, plug, laser, hair removal, makeup) plus Day 21+ to actually unlock the MR 8 cap. The orders are the gating mechanic; without them Owner caps at 6 even at Day 21+.

MasterName defaults to ??? and is set in the character editor. Use a name you’ll be comfortable seeing across 100+ scenes. The Independent route never uses MasterName so it doesn’t matter there.

Refusing inspections, panty asks, or service requests costs MasterRelationship. The floor is 0, you can’t go negative. But spending too long under MR 3 means none of the private-encounter content unlocks.

The cuckold offer needs MR 6+ AND Sarah discovered AND sarah_tension >= 4 AND the Sarah arc not yet locked at the coffee shop AND she’s not disabled. In practice it usually fires before Sarah’s processing window closes, giving the player a real choice between her arcs and his arc.

Independent is the leanest route. No private encounters, no praise scene, no cuckold, no Master Intimate. Day 5 self-discovery scenes compensate but the route is intentionally smaller. Best for players who want a stat-game without the dynamic.
