i also want to point out that you're literally punished by the narrative if you don't accept rebecca's help???

from what i get from the game is if you have rebecca go with you to the auction, then you get the chance to go inside and actually try to execute your plan BUT if you outright refuse her help you won't even make it to the auction itself? (based on routes, either bobby or douglas shows up)

also sidenote: i get that there's no real stakes in any case, bc so far it's been very clear that books always end on a positive note, plus our detective can't even die (sera said she's not gonna kill the mc), and each branch, with or without rebecca, will always have the same end result anyway, with the bad guys being taken down and everyone happy and together so ultimately it shouldn't matter

HOWEVER. still, the fact that the whole plan is sidetracked by bobby/douglas showing up??? and it has nothing to do with rebecca either! it's not like she could've thwarted them without revealing herself so? it's literally just the variable is coded that way, which i assume could've been done differently! maybe how much bobby suspects or douglas is hardened?

but no, those detectives who don't want rebecca's help (i.e. likely don't have a positive relationship with rebecca) are instantly just thrown into a cell and end up getting sold at the auction? i wonder if sera wants us to forgive rebecca or sg🤔

tl;dr: so the ways it can go: you accept or refuse her help - if you accept, you get inside the auction where it's basically up to you to mess it up or not (but no real stakes either) - if you refuse, bobby/douglas shows up and gets you both taken by the trappers, messing up your plan and leaving you locked up and literally sold at the auction

the way A casually refers to the warehouse as home and calls ub a family have me crying on the floor

[ambrosykim]

giggling and kicking my feet as i immediately choose felix for my a-mancer bc they are literally platonic soulmates and have as strong a bond as charlie and adam🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[ambrosykim]

i am literally gonna cry they slept together??? as in, mason voluntarily went to her room and then climbed in her bed without the promise of anything happening??? and then he stayed all night???😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[ambrosykim]

the intimacy of m helping the detective in the shower........... im crying

[ambrosykim]

me every time vieno calls the detective 'buddy'

[ambrosykim]

did a felix playthrough with charlie and the romance route was much closer to how they actually act around each other

anyways i've decided charlie and felix give each other lil pecks on the lips sometimes🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 and felix will live with charlie and adam and their kids (with his possible partner ofc) as that weird uncle and will be a huge part of charlie's everyday life🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 amen

[ambrosykim]

the first two sentences awakened something in me lol

more specifically, it made me remember this post i made, about how charlie and felix would always be cuddled up, anytime and anywhere. and in this scenario, you better believe the moment charlie sits down felix is already there in front of her like a cat and would instantly be flopping down onto her (and adam's always just awkwardly standing there like 🧍‍♂️ don't mind me...) and in this scene, by the time adam even stands in front of charlie to "assess her state", charlie is just sitting with open arms (and when adam is like uh what are you doing? she's like i'm obviously waiting for felix)

i just want there to be more platonic love!!! especially now that we have chosen the mc's best friend, i sure hope that doesn't only mean they will talk to the li about the detective but will actually be more affectionate with the mc!!!

[ambrosykim]

i was both cackling and holding back tears at this point, knowing that charlie will indeed die and leave adam completely broken </3

i posted some thoughts on her mortality before here but it's evolved into a lot of lore since then, which i might end up posting idk

[ambrosykim]

there are so many references to charlie and adam's future life.........
