I applaud your effort in trying lol
Fair. As someone who just can't pick the mean option in video games anymore cause I'll feel bad after, I can kinda relate.
Honestly, that's best and worst part about characters that are written in a compelling way (especially if they're likeable characters or ones you can relate to in some way/shape/form). You just don't want to do them wrong if it can be helped.
For what it's worth, though! You probably already know, but before progressing you could check and see how many events you've got left in the story and with characters. That way you can decide whether you wanna wait some time for a new update or two before continuing in hopes a resolution comes to settle things for a character/arc.
Considering the main story, I don't think there's anything I can do to help the situation to a meaningful degree anymore- We've fucked up pretty bad
But yeah, I just can't bring myself to hurt characters and I get attached so easily when I'm immersing myself in a story. It's like watching a train wreck...
