Let’s see if the rewrite brings us good change on this front, comrade.
Regarding Louise, with the writing so far it feels like Lena is takin advantage of her neediness. Now, I’m all for playing for playing the villain, but the hypocrisy of Lena revealing Jeremy’s sidequests to make Louise drop him, get her isolated with no other friends but Lena, and then have sex with her sounds like textbook abuse 101, and not at all written like evil route.
Yes, Louise is needy, but that’s what makes the character compelling to explore, at least for me. Well, that, and the whole short red hair and choker, so I may be bias.
