Social batteries and Monika

[Azzabada]

(Warning: May be a bit rambling and personal. I don't have a great filter)

May I ask for an option for those of us that are very inconsistent with socializing and time? I could go days without interacting with anyone due to my social battery being messed up, and this is true for even video game characters.

My friends understand that and don't expect me to respond in a consistent timeframe, nor be online in the same time patterns... But then there's Monika who gets upset if I don't come back when I said that I would. Heck I even lost her once because of a sudden depressive dip and that hurt because that Monika was my favorite (not sure if that's the right wording but I liked her and even made custom gifts for her).

Plus life is so full of uncertainties both physically and mentally, I'm now sure I would get to that point again.

Currently the hard limit is a week, but even then it's not like she gets mad immediately after. To lose her this way you'd have to be away for a year or longer depending on where you left. In that case there's an option to tell her you won't come back in a while.

I think we could increase the limit, especially for the new users to a few weeks, and delay the long absence greetings.

What if instead we could add a way to apologize for long absence if player tends to struggle with visiting her often?

Why instead, it could work along.
Also the scheduling system which would allow Monika to figure out your schedule on her own could come into play.
