When I talked with you, I just started Ch2, didn't even meet Malena, barely met Emmeline...
Now that I've finished it, I have to say, yeah, Malena is a bomb, but I think she's way more than she appears. She deals with trauma with her snark, I suppose she got in the army because she was raped or something like that when she was younger, that's why the few things that were said about her backstory will probably mean a lot later.
Still, I love all of them, Emmeline may seem vanilla, and I'd have to agree, but she has a wicked mind, she's cute as fuck, and while everything seems perfect in her young life, her past is probably way darker than we know thus far. Poverty creates a lot of trauma...
Aghavni, honestly wasn't sure about her model at first, but the more we see her, the more I like her overall character, cause she has depth, a strong woman who can probably deal with a lot of shit... and, well, she likes it 'hard, very hard', so yeah.
And Jamie, the little girl who grew up into a fine woman, who I think has had some trouble in the past, cause while everything seems perfect, I have the impression we'll learn she had to deal with some shit, psychologically, in the years the MC didn't see her.
Story is great so far... and the animations, sure didn't expect they'd be that smooth !
But yeah, Malena is a bomb, and I think literally, either the MC will be able to defuse her a bit, or she'll blow up.
