Now, after having playing it again. I think I was actually biased because I liked the thoughts too much. XD
As for the emotions, it’s based on the situations so, I don’t think the option about the emotion going up or down will matter for the choices as these indications are usually to indicate what the choice did.
I like how the choices matter, like, no stats based but, the choices from your decision to hang out with someone or not for example.
