So, got in yesterday to check out the new update, prepped everything for the new missions, then headed onto KIM before starting to play, to get the chats out of the way.
I’ve been dating Lettie since first possible, kept the relationships through the resets. She had an unread message, opened it, asked me what would take me away from her. I went for the full-on romantic option, she instantly dumps me, and now acts insulted if I ask her to date me again.
Truth is, I can’t complain about this, it’s believable. I’ve been subjected to this kind of vehement and impulsive behaviour many times before, and it doesn’t suck any less this time, so it has to be realistic. But, man, did it put me off playing this game, to be very honest. Just made me want to get away from the mess.
You’re not wrong, it really did feel like I was gaming the system with her. There are moments when you seem to break through and have a “normal” conversation (i.e. her not slamming the door in your face after your third sincere word), but this avoidant dance is making me really tired.
I seem to have reached the same point, we’re Best Friends (down from Loved) and she’s not messaging me anymore. Fun. I’ve been through this IRL more than I’d care to remember.
