This review contains spoilers
Every shell of me was punctured, left to bleed out onto the floor below. The world yelled, hammered, painfully clawing until there was nothing but the byproduct. The body was like hers I could not fathom the similarities I could only feel the unyielding inked connection and how it tore at me. Would there be a day I had not the courage to get up, if the air and lives of us all are so contaminated and filthy.
There's a strange, curious, unimaginable comfort in feeling eyes on you. Eyes whose gaze is powerful, so utterly incomprehensibly strong that all of your soul is laid bare to the world. I did not expect it and knee-jerkingly I wish I could blind it, refute the person and torment it for seeing me. I do not ask to be made this way, I do not enjoy being so vulnerable, I do not sit here in my chair thinking for hours on hours on who I am and what that means for me I do not want to push myself on others' lived experience and find the same frictional questions of DID I CHOOSE THE RIGHT THING IS TRANSITIONING WORTH THE COST WILL THE WORLD EVER LET ME LIVE CAN THERE BE ANY SORT OF HAPPY WAY OF BEING IS THE END TRULY ALWAYS SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO VILE.
That's not important. A full, unearthed happiness is impossible. We cannot simply move the hands in the right place to touch it. There's no complete symbiosis and choosing to leave it was never the right answer. And in such we turn to find others' way "It's the people who meet us that give us color". Utopia is perhaps futile but we are not powerless. Decisions are always up to us and even if they hurt everyone else around us we can but march on. "Seth" would.

In a sense it's hard to be satisfied with that answer even after I gave it plenty of time to ruminate. I think the series in of itself has changed me and given me a lot to think about over time. I have different conclusions on Ep1 than i did when i published what amounts as a shitpost (but as with most good shitposts imo, one that's at least half true), and I have a strong urge to replay TWC after I'm done with episode 3. I find the series hard to recommend, because most people really shouldn't play this unless they feel they have the right fortitude. There are shards of glass here and now I've added some of my own. There is no hopeful message nor a positive one to go on, which I usually have to say. In an exception to my own sort of creed, I guess that is a fine thing here. Hopefully I can muster the strength to play Episode 3 after I've picked up the pieces. A new favorite
