The story in episode 10 hits hard, as someone whos grandmother has demntia, I can say that The cake writing is pretty legit, and I can feel all the femily members who have to endure the situation.
I can espcially relate to Patrick, who from the outside does behave shitty, but Imagine the burden this man holds on his shoulders and the pain of seeing his loved one turning into a leaving zombie, and knowing you can't do anything to save him its eating you from the inside. Now imagine you have to work to succed and to grow your childrean,while holding off those emotion and to take care of your sickly wife.
Of course nothing excuses vioence and abusing your childrean in any shape or form, but I do understand where this man coming from, I hope MC, friends come to the conclution that their whole femily needs help and emotional support. Patrick, Derek and Maya need help, people like them need emotional support and maybe financial??(but I doubt it). Here Rusty, Sage and Jill need to intervene. Me as MC if given the choises will be there for both Derek (Bro in all my routes) and Maya (In routes that she is romanced as a friend, and escpsially in the routes MC romanced her). MC needs to invite both of them to celebrate with him an Neil, those two need some peace of mind.
My gripe is that in the choise where MC can either hit in dik, just comment at nutural and rescue Maya in chinck. The nutural and chink should have been reversed. In Nutural you need to save maya, while in Chink you just need to give a comment. Hitting him is understanble, since MC is ignorent to the situation. I wouldn't him Patrick since I know how he feels, but your avrage player and MC are clueless so its a good choise.
DPC really mangaed to capture this sad reality in a 9/10 way, more the hollywood and other media do.
