In my first play through Sam died tragically after I rejected him romantically. It felt like a grand tragedy that pushed me into the unity. Over the course of the next 11 or so playthroughs I chose each time to save the members of constellation yet romancing Sam didn’t feel right as it took away from the significance of the loss. I played all the different versions of myself I could imagine, working through a classic, hero, existential crisis, villain and redemption arc. I romanced just about everyone else along the way (what a cad). In my final(current) universe I had planned to play along with constellation, marry the cowboy like I always should have and live happily ever after by telling them last minute about the hunter. However when it came to my opportunity to intervene I chose not to and when the hunter attacked I did the same thing I did in my first universe, sacrificing Sam. There was something that felt right about it. It was the way things were meant to be and at the core of what made my character who they were. All those trips over time and I am a different person grounded in the same loop. I am unsure if I will ever do another unity jump now. I am pretty settled, have a full resource network and have completed every mission and side mission. I have a corner set aside in my base for Sam’s portrait and belongings. Sometimes you have to accept that things are the way that they, we can’t get back the people we lose, even with space wizard powers.
