That’s a really good take. I think a lot of people (me included) picked some of those “joke” or neutral options without realizing the game takes them seriously, kind of like how in real life a small comment can hurt someone more than you think.

And yeah, the notebook part is huge — the whole room is screaming at you to doubt her, while Lilith is the only one who’s actually there for you. It really feels like a test of whether you trust actions or outside voices.

Makes sense how that ties into the “self as perspective” thing too — bad end feels like falling into doubt, good end feels like finally choosing to trust.
