Had it in a backlog considering it was relatively new but I gotta say, this shows potential, and hefty amounts of it too. Seeing your take on the trope is quite interesting, and the angles you can take from here are plentiful. I think my only concern is the pacing needing a bit of fleshing out. I don't mind it most times, but the cut in the end from the flashback straight into him entering his home threw me off a bit. Other places I think could use some polishing are the dialogue but that's mainly just personal pref. I like what you have goin on and I'm excited to see what you've got in store for us dev <3
