One thing that seems odd about all this with her is that didn't she say that the world she screwed up was a long time ago? Why is it suddenly all affecting her now? She seemed totally different when we first met her.
Step one: a bit more prudence and caution, be a bit more conservative in what she experiments with, is my advice. Try little things. In the meantime, we can try to cheer her up and have some fun together. 'Take her mind off it' by shutting her mind down with pleasure.
I completely agree with you.
Qarinah begins to really care about the meaning of her work after meeting the MC. She, just like everyone else, changed when "the man" came around, trying to be more mature, more responsible. Qarinah changed her attitude, and in my opinion, she creates these alter egos to be able to lister to the MC's suggestions and accept his help. As if she is ashamed to do it in its original form and needed this kind of filter, to protect herself in some way.
And I think that, yes, "Try little things" and then "take her mind off by shitting her mind down with pleasure" is the right thing to do at this point. I think the MC can do so much more for her just giving her an hug!
One thing I think we could really do with with the kids is some events with their mothers, even a minor one like the basic individual play events would help it feel less like they have abandoned them; as it is they have their kid and never mention them again.
I believe there is nothing to add.
If there is one thing that is really missing in this game it is the interaction between the girls and their mothers. My heart cries, not so much for Kana (who lives in the farm, so it is plausible that she will see her daughter whenever she wants), nor for Pixie, who comes with us every time and thus has the opportunity to see her little girl.
But what about Lily? She entrusted us with her newborn daughter in her arms, making us promise that we would make sure that she would see her again soon or, at least, every now and then. And yet nothing about it yet. This puts an infinite sadness on me.
So yeah, I think the next thing to implement in the game is a way for mothers to spend time with their daughters.
