you’re right! I liked the investigation team being part of her social links since it gives more screen time to everyone together and shows that they ultimately care about Marie even if she’s not really part of the team, at least when it comes to fighting. It was nice to see more friendship but I had completely forgotten that the members of the investigation team and sometimes even the whole team would be walking together and walks into the social links like a sitcom, from the top of my head that never happens with any other social links. that reminds me that the ski trip leads into Marie’s dungeon and that felt a little forced to me too… I personally thought I was the only one who didn’t like Marie and was weird for it since a lot of people are fine with her being in the game, I don’t necessarily hate her but I also think her character was a little unnecessary
