Guys, are you seriously going to completely abandon Ardat right now? Friends aren't infinitely loyal equippable items, they have emotional needs. Imagine how this would feel for her, to get her hopes up, have them dashed, and for Verge to immediately abandon her for a week.
Edit:
Assuming Ardat will just sit around near Verge forever and let him "fix" her personality and safely mold her into whatever he wants, without ever having desires or ambitions of her own, is extremely dangerous. She's just not two status bars saying "Ardat's womanly feelings" and "Verge's brain taint" that we have to carefully balance, she's a complex person. If she's put through too much she might just leave, or do something really desperate.
