Okay, I feel genuinely singled out here. I am an aspiring musician who reads and practices a ton philosophy, works out a lot and enjoys working myself half to death (sometimes). Rune's route is one I really connect with on a personal level. Lake is perfect, but Rune is literally me.

By the way (if it's no bother to you), could you tell me what you mean by life being 'linear'? That's the kind of stuff I like to sit, think and have an existential crisis about sometimes.

Thank you for making! 5 stars from me.

Yeah, this author has a real penchant for creating very realistic characters that remind players of real people. Though you might be the first one to admit one of the characters is literally you.

Also, I haven't seen the author reply here, but you can start talking about things you found interesting and someone surely will join. Which route was that stuff about the linearity of life in? Rune's?

In Rune’s we mention it while on the roof with him. Also in Mikko’s route he mentions how ‘non linear’ his life feels. I’m guessing he’s saying that he feels as though he’s defied any kind of predestination in his life, but I could be mistaken.

Right, so, in Rune's roof scene Arvo is thinking about non-linearity in a whimsical way that isn't supposed to make much sense, I think - he's just experiencing a case of deja-vu, feeling the same way he did long time ago, that sense of inspired hope for the future and closeness to someone he mutually appreciates, as if the life looped back on itself and the same moment happened twice.

And... I don't quite remember what Mikko said about non-linearity. Could you remind me when he said it so I can double-check?

It was Arvo both times. He just said kinda the same thing to Mikko as he did to Rune. You might be right, he could be talking about the purpose and meaning of memories in our lives; timelines folding in on themselves as our minds bring up the events of moments passed in the present, affecting our current actions and thoughts, though the moments themselves are gone forever. That's quite cool to think about actually.

I personally love Lake's bursts of philosophically fatalistic mood. "You can suddenly just die, everything you have can be lost", and I'm like: "I just had supper, who starts a conversation like this?

I think the love of thinking came with my ADHD and lake definitely gives me ADHD vibes. Wonder if that’s it?

I don't know if I can judge - I don't have ADHD, so my understanding of it is anecdotal at best.

But if YOU feel ADHD vibes from Lake - then you very well might be right. After all, the characters in Dawn Chorus have been impeccably written so far.
