5AM comes early

You wake up with a start, still in Karina's bed. Shit. Thankfully, everyone else wakes up later than you. Decades of working multiple jobs leave you unable to sleep in. You know that you can't keep this a secret forever, but for the moment, you feel it best to leave it as one.

You extract yourself from your daughter's embrace, remembering your time together the previous night. You sigh. Another line, crossed. Blown past, really. But you no longer feel that odd anxiety that has haunted you for weeks. Instead, you feel happy. Content. Free. An extension of the joy you pondered the previous evening, before you drifted to sleep.

You leave Karina in her bed, asleep. You plant a tender kiss on her forehead as you leave, grabbing your things and sneaking into the bathroom. You are careful to retrieve your pistol, hiding it in the bundle of your clothes.

You turn on the shower and let the warm steam fill the small room. Before entering, you decide to check your phone. You see a long list of updates waiting for you.

Ivan: Affection: 50 (+8). Love: 35 (+8). Lust: 0 (+0).

Mia: Affection: 62 (+16). Love: 68 (+25). Lust: 65 (+5).

Below that, another update for Mia. The timestamp places it at the same time that you were with Karina.

Mia: Affection: 62 (+0). Love: 68 (+0). Lust: 74 (+9).

Karina: Affection: 100 (+22). Love: 100 (+20). Lust: 100 (+16).

Karina now has all one-hundreds... Shit. What does that mean? Your question is answered when you read the next update.

Affection Multiplier Achievement: Hundid's on hundids. Congratulations, you managed to max out all three scores with someone! Considering this is literally the purpose of our work here, we're very glad for you! As a reward, strangers will now start with 5% higher scores than previously, excluding lust.

You have received one perk point.

Affection Multiplier Rare Achievement: In daughter, we lust. Congratulations, you managed to fuck your daughter, you filthy degenerate! This unlocks a rare achievement. As a reward for your depravity, you receive three perk points. Other family members are now more likely to accept your incestuous behaviors, other factors notwithstanding. Hey, don't try to fuck them too!

Not exactly surprising, but what is a Rare Achievement?

As soon as your mind poses the question, your phone screen transforms and a familiar pig appears. A dialogue window opens and text begins to flow across it.

Great question! What is a rare achievement? Well, it's elementary dear Watson! A rare achievement is like a normal achievement, except rare!

You nearly face palm yourself, before the text continues.

More specifically, it means you unlocked an achievement that less than 1% of people who could have received the app would have fulfilled the requirements for. Yes, that does mean that the app doesn't turn people into incestuous animals. That's just you, buddy! Oink. Piggy out.

The screen disappears, and you're left with more questions than you had before. Other people could have received the app? How were they chosen? How were you chosen? You realize the questions are borderline pointless. Why does it matter?

You open the perks screen and check your points. Including the new points you just received, you have a balance of four. You scroll through the list of perks, but ultimately you decide to invest more into The Trusted. You need all of the help you can get at work, and it may come in useful with your new line of business with Uncle Ivan. You dump three points into it, maxing out the perk at level five.

You continue looking through the available perks. Your eyes pause on The Incestuous. It seems that your recent achievement had similar benefits, but maybe it would be wise to supplant its effects. Anything to make Nadia and the others more understanding. You pause, worried. What if it isn't helpful, or worse, hurts you?

There isn't any way to know now, though. All you can do is find out. Your finger is pressed onto the buy button, and your last perk point is removed from your balance.

Your points spent, you set your phone aside and step into the shower. The hot water beats down onto your face as you think. What would happen next? What set of events had you just set in motion? You ponder the recent events between Nadia, Ana, and Mia. Karina. You've come to understand that the app doesn't appear to be changing them. No, it seems to be unlocking their inner selves. Allowing them to be who they always were. Nadia, with her secret polyamory kink. Mia, with her desire to be independent and loved. Ana? No, you aren't sure about her yet. Did she have some hidden kink that drove her to fuck her cousin? Daddy Issues? Ivan always seemed to be a good father, so you do not think that is it. A drive for adventure or lust for the forbidden?

And what of Karina, your darling angel? It seems obvious to you now that she has long been infatuated with you. The app only gave her to will to realize it, to take action on it. But what drove that desire?
