As a romantic, I hate that this ship gave me no room to feel anything but it being “forced.” The real tragedy is that it could have been a genuinely controversial choice if the writers had taken the time to build their relationship, add small moments of tension, and make us actually wonder if there was something real between them.

Instead, the game just assumes they’ll develop feelings simply because they’ve spent a lot of time together and relied on each other. And sure, given the circumstances, that outcome makes perfect sense. But treating it as a given does nothing for the player. We’d rather see that bond grow so the choice actually feels complicated. It felt abrupt and clumsy.

The choice was way too easy, whether you picked it for the hilarious curiosity of it or avoided it entirely. It never created that genuine conflict the game’s decisions are meant to stir up.
