NOOOOO You have no idea the absolute dread I felt 😭
I haven't played through the game yet but the first line had me completely frozen because my name is Mari. Do you know how crazy it is to start off with a black screen that says your name?? LOL I was like, "Have I played this game before and it somehow stored my name in its memory?" But then I remembered the description says it's gender neutral so it wouldn't be using she/her pronouns for me. I finally clicked to the next dialogue and realised it's an NPC. That start really did give me a fright though, haha.
