mostly:

The amount of people talking past each other for actually really fucking compelling reasons as opposed to bad-writing-shitty-reasons in this game is really good, honestly

oh my god yes. you've put your finger on it exactly, really—lots of little things i loved about the plot but i think they basically add up to, "if you want a theme around people misunderstanding each other, do it like this and not like a shitty romcom" lmao
