Why Caleb?

Truth be told, I can't remember the exact reason why I picked him, of all the love interests. I remember before I downloaded the game myself (on 06/11/25), I would keep watching clips and edits of LADS on Instagram and Tiktok. While I love everyone in LADS, I loved Rafayel the most-- at first. But then, Caleb grew on me. by 06/12/25, I woke up overjoyed my game was finally downloaded fully. And on Caleb's birthday that year, I had my graduation dinner that I was getting ready for, while the game autoplayed through his first three episodes of his chapter, just so I wouldn't have to see spoilers but so I could still have him unlocked and do his birthday event.
I can't say for sure what drew me in, but I know what kept me chosing him, over and over. Even if I love the other 5 guys, Caleb is my main, for multiple reasons. One, I just adore his english voice actor the most. I have no interest in finding out who did it, but I adore him and hope his pillow will always be cool. The voice is just so fitting. Not to mention, I'm drawn in by how much of a nerdy loser Caleb can truly be at times-- with his planes and his 'widdle' bug facts. Not to mention-- Pipsqueak. I love being called pipsqueak. And its also just how he treats the MC. Thats what I want in a guy. Not someone who does it all for me or pays away all my problems, but someone who can hold their own. Who can cook and clean with me, and who would do so without whining like a man child. Caleb is my golden standard, as stupid as that may sound.
However, despite how much I adore him, I assumed it'd be like every other selfship I have. Where it stays around for a few months, then fades.
However, As I write this on 08/28/26, I can safely say that it hasn't. I love Caleb. Whole heartedly. Maybe one day I'll grow out of it, but I can't say for sure. Even with the fact I haven't opened LADS since Valko got cancelled(not that I played much to begin with) I am still giggling over Caleb merch and for my birthday I bought a Caleb plushie off etsy, and am looking at every plane and apple and going 'omg Caleb...'. I am truly too far gone.
And, if my irl "Caleb" is out there, I hope he knows that I'd love him just as much. And that any man could be him, so long as he shows that he can remember the small things, and help out where it counts.
