That is one of the many, many great aspects of Lessons in Love: it's one of the few narratives I've ever seen that actually respects your intelligence.

A lot of stories - even great ones - have a tendency to be written with the lowest common denominator in mind, structured in a way that supposes that you, the reader/player/viewer, have basically no idea what is going on, which necessitates the plot to have these grand revelation scenes with a lot of build-up to explain all of that stuff. Meanwhile, most characters in Lessons in Love just casually drop the biggest plot reveals with very little hype or fanfare, because if you're someone who has been actually paying attention, all of these "reveals" are things that you already knew for the last 50+ hours - and the writing fully reflects that (even Chapter 2 had two pretty good examples of this).
