this was a nifty little read! it's super effective even just with the icons to indicate who is talking and no further art. i'm not personally into the mech genre, but this felt really approachable and had interesting concepts. i always love a machine that you have to basically make part of your being to operate.
i do wish there were an option to increase the text size, as it was personally a little small for me.
i liked the slow build up to AVA becoming more and more... like that, without spoilers. super cool drop at the end. cronenberg-esque indeed.
i look forward to what you create next :)
