i wondered a lot about xelia after playing loner dog, so needless to say i really enjoyed xxu! the music, camera positions, and modeling bring out an overall sense of doom throughout the story. xelia's words to mariette were powerful, dire, and cathartic. we lose so much to so many mariettes and the pain and rage of that is conveyed masterfully through xelia's speech. i was also moved by the juxtaposition of xelia speaking with her friends vs xelia speaking to mariette. these are both her and they are both hurting, but they couldn't be anymore different in presentation.
thank you!
