    I personally voted for Astrid, so did my husband, because we came to the same conclusion: hers made the most sense.

    • Rodrigalt suggests take time to know yourself. NPC says they don't have much in the way of free time and loves their work greatly. Rodrigault disregards the NPC's lifestyle/choice.
    • Bert suggests a change of profession. NPC, again, says they don't have much in the way of free time and loves their work greatly. Bert disregards the NPC's lifestyle/choice.
    • Astrid suggests finding someone within the same profession (unlike some people's posts, I did not read to hit on employers or co-workers, as that is equally terrible advise in real life, but at least it did not go against the known details of the NPC).

    Imagine going to school for a career you love, but it takes up most of your time. You love your work and you know it. It gives you fulfillment. You still want to find a companion and seek advise. Adviser tells you to quit your job and do something else. That's terrible advice, especially with how evanescent relationships can be. Even fictional, I wouldn't give that kind of counselling to anyone.
    Astrid gives him what he wants.
    Bert and Rodriguez what he needs.

    I don't see it. Leaving your job and pursuing a hobby or career that you might not even be good with, let alone sustain yourself with, doesn't sound like a need to me. It sounds like a gamble and for something that may not even work out.

    Why do you believe they want him to quit his job? Thats was nowhere in any dialogue. No they want him to focus on something else other than his job. Not just being a workaholic because often that does not get you love. They want to have him either find himself and thus know what he wants or take up a hobby that have him meet people.
