"I counted 3, you counted none." What chilling words, especially for a problem i thought we finally moved past. Niichan has such a way with developing story, it actually sucks now that i have to wait another possible 7 months for part 3, because those words, and that scene, will forever be stuck in my head, knowing that Vent's issue (i named my MC Vent) is not resolved, and hes still struggling with, what im gonna presume as memory loss.
Getting Leah back from the Emma x Mc runaway Route was absolutely genius, but I feel like in the in game time, it took too little time for Emma to get attached to Leah. In the runaway route, while yes, Emma does get attached to her fairly shortly after meeting her, it also takes her longer to actually admit that bc of her past trauma. Then the whole thing about wanting to be her mother took months of attempts to push them apart, which really made those scenes hit harder bc you feel exactly why it takes Emma too long to accept it. In the mainline continuity, it takes just under 3 weeks to grow attached, admit it, want to protect Leah, and want to become her mother.
Now im not saying those are bad things, after all, there was a legitimate reason for why it had to be rushed, but the choice to rush it, in my eyez, almost makes the moment just a tad bit less impactful, because youre adding an ultimatum where if she doesnt accept it, Leah will be forced back into her captors hands, so she HAS to accept it if she wants to keep Leah safe, instead of wanting herself to want this to happen.
