Butter loves your take on the societal pressure on women to get married, more so in the context of their time period, more so with how important beauty was! But also!!! I just realized the ending and finally remembered this was Greek myth and AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
OMG THE REFERENCES ARE NOW JUST DAWNING ON ME!!!!
Like the protagonist being named after Cassandra! The tragic woman so loved by Apollo because of her beauty and then was gifted the gift of Prophecy but cursed to never be believed thus furthering her isolation! Like how the protag feels here!!! AAAHHHHHHH
And then when both Cassandra/Cassie utter the same words, mirroring Echo AAAHHHHHHHHHH
I LOVE THE COMBINED ASSOCIATIONS AND THE HAPPY TRAGEDY!!!! LIKE SHE STILL DIES I GUESS BUT UT WAS A HAPPY DEATH TO HER OMG??? LIKE IT'S STILL TRAGEDY BUT PARADOXICCALLY A HAPPY END FOR HER??? (Considering her alternatives of course, I do personally wished for her to live, but this is Greek myth, and Greek myth gets all extreme with the parallels in their poetic ironies and all)
BUT ASDFGHJKL!?!?! BUTTER LOVES THIS
(I don't know if there were anymore I missed, more so with the mentioned carpenter, but aaahhh that was what I remembered while playing haha)
+++ Flower imagery as well AAAHHHHHHG
