I'm only on chapter 6 as I write this but I had to say something now because I am going to start invoicing you with an emotional tax for HOW MUCH I KEEP CRYING. I think it's the music, that helps. Good writing+the music=my emotional wreckage state. I say this with complete, utter and total affection. Because this is just. So good. Maybe it's because I'm such a sucker for the style you've got going here. I didn't miss the 'think of scenarios like, Mass Effect, or Dragon Age' from the blurb in Act 1, and being such a huge fan of both of those, which are nice emotional gut punches in the best way ever. Yeah. Anyway. I'm going to end up rambling more if I keep this up, but I also just want to point out the passage that's got me commenting so early.
Because this?
-
"This pendant isn't just a symbol. It's a promise." You lift your gaze to meet hers. "A promise that I believe in you, even when you can't. And I wouldn't have given it to you if I didn't think you could live up to it." Oh Lavina my darling.
Gorgeous. Exactly the kind of thing that makes me squirm with all the best emotions. I say, through blurry eyes. "I want to be the light indeed" Maybe that's ironic because I've gone on Belicar's route (RIP my MC) but the contrast is sort of nice, in it's own way. (Tragic, yes, but good! Drama is always fun isn't it? Isn't it? XD)
I know 7 and 8 will also make me cry. #Worthit.
