i've been mulling this over on and off the last few days
i didn't picture it the way you do when i wrote it — but if that's how you read it, then that's how you read it, and it would be poor form for me as an author to tell you how you're "supposed" to read it.
it kind of seems like i touched a sore spot, something that happened to you that feels similar? or maybe i'm way off base there. regardless, i'm sorry to have caused such a visceral reaction in what was supposed to be a fairly lighthearted game.
