To be honest the Risa stuff in this makes me feel slightly shitty. Maybe I'm just bad at reading the subtext but it feels like the game doesn't make it clear enough on what happened imo. I mean I feel like the game makes her seem like she's interested in the MC but she picks the other guy and ends ups ghosting the MC just to ask Natsumi about him on Valentine's Day. I personally would not want to be involved with someone like that it seems to me like she feels like she made the wrong choice and feels guilty about it now. My main point is that to me Risa kind of comes off as a shitty person and is in denial. I also just want to say the rejection isn't the shitty part but the ghosting and then asking about them much later because you feel bad about it is.
Hey, that's exactly how you should feel right now about Risa. What she did was shitty, and that's how I want the player to see. But on her chapter (which is on the future), I want the player to know that she's just really flawed, but still with a chance of redemption, which is a challenge for me to convey in a story and I want to see if I could make the player to feel that her redemption is good enough and has another chance with MC.
