Hel lo! I am so glad you liked it!
Unfortunately, what you found is not a bug, but a time constraint XD
The flame does slowly die. It just does so very, very slowly.
I did not have time to fine tune it, especially considering that a strict time constraint may prevent some people from enjoying the dialogue, so I preferred to keep it very loose instead of accidentally make it very tight.
When the jam will be officially over, I will go back to it and modify it.
Thank you so much for your words!! <3
