What if all(most?) of the dateables, after living a normal life, completely forgot about the player, only to spontaneously remember them after a couple of years? And then they all come visit them, and the MC just...barely left the house again after all the them became realised, still socially awkward and will most of their issues coming back. But now in nearly completely soul-less house, because the objects are no longer with a 'soul'(dateable). It is just them, working on their computer, with their new job, in a silent house. No buzzing of the machines, no comforting breeze from HV, fridge filled with nothing but a take out. . Just a house full of dust, and clicking of a keyboard. So all of them need to help the MC again, but now with the player not really wanting help from them, because they think that after all of this, the dateables with just forget about them? Edit: My bad guys, didn't realise half of it is literally the plot of "Home Alone' by
