Pull up a stump, let’s hear all about it.

Wow, things can change fast! Poor Alma, and poor Thatch! Things were definitely getting frostier with Cole but I didn't expect it to go that bad, damn.
I'm sad that we're leaving behind everyone from the first arc, I really grew to like that cast. I hope we see them again, sooner rather than later. I guess I should make sure to keep a non-Alma route save, don't want to break any promises. :)
Cool to get some worldbuilding in Noire's song! Was Thatch's dream afterwards his own memories from the war he was in, or was he dreaming of being a warrior against the Scaled One's forces?
There's an optional flashback at the farmhouse the night after Year's Turn. In summary, it's about how Josiah convinced Thatcher to stay around after Abigail died.
Alma's shearing distracts him before he can have this flashback—or, if you prefer it when cause and effect happen in the right order, the kind of Thatcher that would burn down his own farm would never have flirted with Alma in the first place.
