It may happen that I end up single again some day and not in any relationships, but I am still gonna be poly because those will be the only kinds of relationships I want.
I did this with The Moon Etherium, too: it's an MF relationship but the characters explicitly talk about being open to other relationships as well. Even though they don't have any others right now.
