Romantic Ending

 * Completed by making Malygris go insane, usually with the Rod of Insanity, then completing the conversation with him, kissing him when prompted.
 * Once driven insane, Malygris will engage you in conversation. He may attack you in the middle of it, but continue speaking afterward anyway. Talking to Malygris has no effect on the conversation.
 * Once Malygris has said the first line, but before he prompts the player character to kiss him, kissing Malygris will yield the message: "That would be rushing things. Have a little patience."
 * First line (for female player character; these lines vary slightly if the PC is male or nonbinary): “I forgive you, young lady, for I know that you did not come here of your own accord.” Malygris tells you.
 * Second line: “You remind me of someone I once knew. A person who was very dear to me.” Malygris brushes away a tear.
 * Third line: “I feel embarrassed to say this, but... well... to be frank, I find you a very attractive young gal. Will you kiss me?” Malygris suggests.
 * You overcome your initial resistance, and walk up to the old man. From up close, he looks vulnerable and very human. Your lips find each other, and your tongues soon follow suit. This is... much more pleasant than you had imagined it would be. It feels right. While he keeps kissing you ardently, Malygris slowly lowers himself to his knees. You gasp as he makes you realise that he has several centuries of experience under his belt. No, you’re probably not going to miss the prince. No. Not at all.
 * **     You have found true love and infinite pleasure!  **
