Please do continue.Ellie's cute level is off the charts.But I think it is more a combination of hero worship, love and fear of abandonment. rather than obsession. Several of MC:s memories show how MC protects Ellie as children, even when MC get scolded for it by Rachel she seems to continue. So when her hero and protector suddenly reappears, she is cautious as you say, but as MC assuades her fear, the love and hero worship can take over.
Rachel used to blame everything bad that happened on MC, including everything the sperm donor did (no, that guy isn't worthy of being called dad or father), regardless of who really was at fault. I don't think we know yet, but for some reason Rachel has flipped that around and desperately want MC to like her to the point of obsession instead, thinking that will make all wrongs right. At least that is my reading of it.
Good to know. I may have rage quit a bit at that Tony scene.May continue the game later then.
Rachel's case is a bit complicated. You are right. She used to blame everything bad on the mc, especially after the father left / died. And she even admits it now and that it was wrong of her. Years have passed since the mc left home. That leaves you with an awful lot of time to think about everything. With passing time you can see things more clearly. When the initial emotions don't cloud your mind. Especially when the one you blame it on is gone and things still haven't improved. You know how it is. First you blame everyone else. Then when the emotions recede, you start to think about it more. Contemplating whose fault it really is. First you don't want to admit you could be at fault too. Then you start to think, well maybe it was my fault too, at least in part. And then, when you start to analyze it properly, to see what has gone wrong, you realize what a mess it all is. And you admit you were at fault too. Yes, the other party may have done something wrong too. Most likely you were both responsible. And you want to say sorry and make up with the other party. Especially if it is serious. You want to forgive and be forgiven too. Now imagine the other side of the conflict is no more around. There's noone to apologize to and nobody to forgive you. It will weigh on your conscience. If the matter is truly serious, you are desperate for forgiveness. And you will do anything, if the other party would just forgive you so that you can go on and leave it all behind. And you start probably blaming yourself and thinking about everything you could have done better. And swearing you will do better if only given the chance. After the fire and the furry has vanished only sadness and despair will be left. Plus if there were any feelings for the other person, loneliness will set in. Replaced with emptiness.
Is this enough of a reason?
Typing all of this on a phone was truly horrible.
