English Translation(by ChatGPT)

Soren really loves Y/N very much.

In the game, he does everything he believes he can do for her: he cooks for her, takes her to the hospital to treat her self-harm wounds, and cleans her place. On the surface, it truly looks like love.

So… he really loves Y/N, right?

And yet, Y/N breaks up with him, citing “feelings” and “not being good enough for him” as reasons.

At first glance, this story can look like that of a poor big dog, clutching its leash in its mouth and begging its owner to take it for a walk.

But when I look more closely, I start to question things.

When Y/N breaks up with Soren in his room, is he really listening to her? In Ending D, when he enters Y/N’s room, does he actually have her permission? In Ending F, even though he is the one who opens the door, why does he put all the blame on her?

“You’re just saying that in anger.” “You’re still upset about that thing.” “You’ve been lying to me all along.”

No matter how high or low your “determination” is, no matter what choices you make or what you say during the breakup — the guilt always lands on Y/N. Soren is always positioned as right.

And it’s not just Soren.

The boss says, “I know you have your own troubles,” but really only wants Y/N to work harder. Does he actually understand what her troubles are?

The best friend says, “I just want to help you,” and pushes her toward reconciling with Soren — but does she truly understand Y/N’s inner confusion?

Everyone claims they’re acting “for her own good,” yet no one actually asks: Do you want this?

So what does Y/N truly need? The story never gives a clear answer. She always seems to be waiting for validation from the outside — Soren’s care, the boss’s approval, other people’s reactions.

As for why the other characters behave this way… perhaps they’ve only ever known distorted forms of love. Perhaps they seek safety through control, or satisfaction through possession. Perhaps they simply don’t know how else to act. In any case, they present their gifts as “love.” But what exactly is inside those gifts?

After finishing the game, I felt deeply moved — and unsettled. When I closed my laptop and looked around my own life, I realized how many people around me also interfere with my choices under the banner of “for your own good.”

If only there could be one truly open, equal, and honest conversation. But at least in the game — and often in real life — that never happens.

I really admire the writer’s skill.

The writer didn’t just create a stereotypical yandere character in Soren; they built an entire world in which Soren’s behavior can exist, persist, and even appear reasonable. That world functions like a tightly woven net that traps Y/N completely.

Soren is a character I both love and hate. He often cares about Y/N and is capable of self-reflection — yet he never truly tries to communicate with her as an equal. Instead, he speaks from the position of “what I think is correct is correct.”

Honestly… he reminds me painfully of my ex with NPD.

On top of that, Soren feels completely justified in using Nora to deceive Y/N, and he seems to be monitoring her as well. (And suddenly I realized — he really resembles Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights.) There’s also a song called I Wanna Be Your Slave that strangely matches his mentality.

I also want to thank translator copiklaGrogu. Her translation isn’t just fluent — it’s deeply localized, sensitive to context, and closely aligned with each character’s personality and tone. That made the experience incredibly immersive for me.

That’s all I wanted to say. I’m really looking forward to future updates!

 中文原文:

Soren真的非常爱Y/N。游戏里的他,在为Y/N做所有他能做事:为Y/N做饭;带Y/N去医院包扎她自残的伤口;给Y/N打扫卫生。

他真的很爱Y/N,对吧?可Y/N却把他甩了,理由是“感觉”和“配不上”。

这个故事看上去是一条可怜的大狗,衔着狗链祈求主人牵着它的故事。

但是,在Soren屋子里,Y/N提分手的时候,他真的在认真倾听吗?D-结局里,他进Y/N房间的时候,有得到Y/N的允许吗?F结局里,明明是他开的门,为什么把原因都推到Y/N身上?

“你在说气话”

“你还在生那件事的气”

“你一直在骗我”

总之,无论分手时“决心值”如何,无论你当时怎么选,怎么说,罪责都在你身上,他永远是对的。

除了Soren之外,嘴上说“我知道你也有自己的烦心事”,其实不过是要你努力工作的老板,他知道你的烦心事究竟是什么吗?

嘴上说“我只是太想帮你”,然后希望你和Soren复合的闺蜜,她知道你内心真实的困惑吗?

他们都在为你好,但是没问过你“要不要”。

可是你究竟需要什么呢?故事里的Y/N没有给出直接答案。你似乎永远期待着外界的反馈,比如Soren对你的关心和老板的肯定。

至于为什么故事里的其他角色会这样......他们或许是因为只见过扭曲的真情,所以只能这样;或许只是想通过控制你来获得安全感和满足占有欲;或许只是不知道怎么办。总之,他们把名为“爱”的礼物献给了你。至于里面装了什么.......

总之,看完游戏后,我真的非常非常感慨。因为当我关上电脑环顾四周,才发现我周围很多人似乎都这样,打着“为你好”的名义干涉我的选择。如果可以有一次彻底敞开心扉的平等沟通,就好了。可惜没有,至少在游戏里没有,现实里也很少见。

我真的非常佩服编剧的文笔。编剧老师不仅仅是在单纯地塑造病娇角色Soren,还创造了一个允许Soren合理生活并且持续追踪Y/N的世界。它就像一张密不透风的网,死死盖住了Y/N。Soren这个角色让我又爱又恨。他很多时候都在关心Y/N,并且会从自己身上找原因。可是,他从来没有尝试过和Y/N平等地沟通,而是以“我认为是什么,就是什么”的态度和Y/N对话。这可太想我那该死的NPD前男友了。除此之外,Soren对于利用Nora欺骗Y/N的事感到理所应当,而且似乎还监视Y/N......(话说回来,我忽然意识到Soren真的很像《呼啸山庄》里的希刺克厉夫)(有首歌叫做I wanna be your slave,真的好像Soren的心态)

在玩的过程中,很感谢麦芽/copiklaGrogu老师。老师的翻译不仅做到了流畅和本土化,在语境和上下文和人物理解方面也相当出色(比如每个人的语气和性格直接挂钩)。所以我在玩的时候非常沉浸。

大概就是这样啦,期待后续的内容!

Hi, as the writer (it’s me, pinkoko😄), reading your comment and seeing how well the story and characters were understood makes me so happy and motivated to share more. I’m also so sorry about your experience with an NPD partner, and I hope you’re taking good care of yourself now.

copiklaGrogu did an amazing job with the translation, we can’t wait to share it publicly!!!

This was such a thoughtful and moving read. Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of this ❤️❤️❤️

Your game is really great, so much so that when I was catching bugs for copiklaGrogu, I was completely immersed in the game's plot.

I'm not quite sure about the situation in other regions and countries, but in China, this kind of "for your own good" situation is very common (around me, probably 60% - 80% of people are involved in this kind of relationship......) Especially in parent-child relationships. So I think this game with excellent art style and realistic plot is very likely to be very popular in China. In fact, Soren is quite good. At least he can take on the responsibility of making choices instead of forcing others to make choices while refusing to take responsibility for their failures. So when I communicate with copiklaGrogu, I think Soren is really contradictory because his love is quite sincere.

About my ex-boyfriend...... When playing this game, I will see Soren say something similar to his. However, while experiencing and analyzing the plot, I am also healing the self that was once deceived. Thank you for your concern ♥

I'm really, really looking forward to the full version of the game.
