no worries on the posts. if you have discord, you can join us over there and talk in real time and process some stuff with other fans of the game. it's kinda fun to get other perspectives. Also, you may wanna include a spoiler warning in your post here as we don't want to ruin parts of the game for people that are just scrolling down to check out some of the comments when deciding whether to download or not.
that being said: i dont have plans to do a braden specific route despite originally planning to do that. my first plan way back years ago was to finish the game as zack and then unlock the story all over again to play it from braden's pov. i changed my mind in that and i abandoned that plan mostly because i wanted the mystery of braden to be more relatable to people. Because braden doesn't really fit into some typical labels, i didn't want to force his pov on people. i wanted to give them the freedom to determine things themselves. Braden's arc deals a lot with labels and fans that have never really fit anywhere have found a lot of solace in his character. if i wrote a story from his perspective, i would take that away from fans and i dont have a desire to do that. in the scene you're talking about, braden talks a lot about what was going through is head and how things slowly spun out of control and eventually he didn't know how to stop them. in that scene, i wanted to show something that was fucked up and broken but i also wanted there to be some hope there and a strong desire for forgiveness and people to try to rebuild. i wanted to show how people can communicate when both parties genuinely want to fix things. while i, myself, have more questions about his motives, zack did not and we're sorta stuck with the information that we have because we don't control these characters. zack asked the questions he needed to in that moment to get the information that was important to him for him to determine whether things were salvageable or not.
