Just me trying to be cute in response to some of A's lines.
“Alright, how about a bet then? We both hide around the house on opposite sides, after 30 seconds we track each other down. Back of the neck, first one to sneak in a bite gets to be on top next time.”
Good golly, our spouse was lascivious!
“I couldn’t let her. So I squeezed and twisted till I broke his spine and he died in my hands.”
So, I’m gonna need our spouse to stooooop…?
I won’t lie, I’m sure I lost some of the creep factor by having the code open in one tab, and after having gone through the majority of this thread.
But I still got the chills. A makes for a mostly comforting and lovely spouse. They just seem… different. In that chilling way.
You know that feeling when you’re playing a video game or watching a movie? When you leave a room, then return to it and you’re almost certain something is missing? Something that you didn’t interact with? Something that shouldn’t be missing? That’s the kind of feeling I get from A…
Yet, despite my better judgement, I am still insanely charmed by them. Good job writing them as such a charismatic, magnetic personality!
Ok, so my mind went two places. That last line from Nico is either a cannibalism jab, or an oral sex jab. Either way, cheeky sucker!
Now then, this isn’t so much a theory toward what the heck is going on in this “marriage” but, more to do with how MC and A know each other. It’s something @Riful also speculated in their timeline post. It sounds like A and MC are step siblings?
Another reason I consider this, outside of the timeline’s making the idea credible is their last names… no matter what your gender or sex, the last names are in the same order. Abernathy-[Surname]. It may just be my experience, but usually the bride applies the groom’s surname after hers. I played a female with a husband. So that niggled at me. So I thought, maybe their names were different before the two of them “got married”? But that’s really nit-picky on my end, so I don’t feel it holds up…
I remember the chills I felt playing this game for the first time, and I know I would have gotten then just as bad this time around if I hadn’t had the code up. Because I still got chills. They were just a little more subdued.The MC’s mind is fascinating to me, the parts we don’t get to shape. I’m enjoying this.
However, I’m not good with stories that get dark and stay dark… I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to enjoy this once the cracks become more prominent. But, I’m enjoying it now.
