I've gotta disagree, this may have porn content, but that doesn't mean that an LIs true character is defined by her kink(if there is one). She's shown her caring side, and yes a fair bit of insecurity, but it's endearing more than anything.
edit: I should have been more specific in that I disagree about Ines, you have some fair points about Kana though.
My point is not specific to Ines' "kinks", but more about how she tends to externalize the emotions she is feeling in various ways. Desire is just the best example of this behaviour because it is so private and because this is an adult game, so that's where I notice it the most and why it perhaps seems like I'm focusing on just her "kinks".
Consider for a moment how Ines reacted to seeing the MC and Vi together. At some point she will open up to the MC and/or Vi about this reaction, but I don't expect her to say something like: "I got
really excited seeing you two together.". Instead, I think she will say something like: "The image of you two together made me feel strangely excited.". These may seem like similar statements to many, but if you look closely Ines tends to describe things and choose her words in a manner where the world is
making her feel and do things, rather than seeing herself as having agency and acting upon the world around her. That's what I mean by her still seeming emotionally immature to me.
I at least partially agree about Kana, but at the same time I don't think she's moved on from Trin's betrayal (or whatever occurred) as much as you think.
Yes, Kana is not fully healed (physically or mentally) from what happened, but notice that I chose my words carefully in describing her current state: "...she has moved on from it
significantly...". I never said she had gotten over it
completely. It's perfectly understandable that she still has strong emotions to work through regarding Trinity, since it was more than just a betrayal by a coworker. Trinity was her mentor, lover (very likely), and the only reason Kana was able to adapt and survive when moving to Japan. In Kana's own words, she was her
everything. The best version of the "forgiveness" ending you are talking about may be found in Kana understanding those events with more context, and accepting that her injury was a mistake (if it indeed was), but saying that their two lives and paths are now separate. And that's not in a "she lost her friend and mentor" kind of way, but more in a "she has given her back to others" decision, because the truth is that we never own other people in that manner, and given enough time, everyone drifts apart eventually.
There's still a lot of unknowns and Kana clearly has not released her anger about it.
I know you're likely using "released her anger" here as a shorthand for "understanding her emotions and learning to control, manage, and accept them". Still, I always want to point out when I hear this kind of description that human beings don't have an x amount of anger, a y amount of love, etc, that builds up inside of us and will cause us to explode if we don't get rid of it (kind of like a modern "four humours theory of medicine" where you have to apply the leeches to drain the yellow bile and achieve balance). Emotions are a bit more...nuanced in their actual physical function within our bodies. But I understand it's just a shorthand so I should probably just learn to ignore it and not be so nitpicky whenever I come across this terminology.
