He’s not exactly comfortable with social interactions. What happens in the supermarket will force him to grow. Beyond that, this prologue served as a personal exercise. Originally, it was meant to last just a minute or two—just him driving through the forest, a bit of dialogue, then arriving at the store. But I decided to expand it to add interactions that’ll impact the main story, while also practicing with a simpler environment and fewer characters.
If I could, I would have extended some scenes, but creating this environment and finishing this prologue was already very long, while the game will really start when they are in the supermarket.
