The genius of this game is that the bait-and-switch of the theme is meaningful. How much of ourselves do we reflect and define based on other people's opinions of us?
Are you REALLY 'sweet but aloof', or is that an interpretation from a character projecting their own issues? Clues are in the writing.
Many deep topics to consider. Are such evaluation-validations ever meaningful? How much of ourselves are shaped by those experiences and the feedback/outcomes?
