okay so some thoughts through doors 6-7 before we head off

- who the fuck comes up with all these creatively cruel storylines? doors 5-7 specifically have some almost comically sadistic events.

- really eager to see the connection between WHG and morgana, which i'd predicted, but which morgana denied (and which michel had accepted)

- again, i don't know that i'm the right one to speak about it, but the way this game uses trauma and cruelty to advance and bind its characters together is really impressive. rape-as-backstory can come off as exploitative (and the art for giselle can lean that way too) but for example, i loved how michel's threatening of giselle caused her ptsd... which then made michel recognize her as a kindred spirit.

- a weird reverse twist is that that wasn't the real giselle. i never really thought that giselle would feel that way, but i accepted it since the story usually unfold in the worst possible way. i wasn't that impressed with michel = michelle as a "twist'" but the pathos of the storyline really sold it to me - it wasn't about surprising me, it was about why michel is the way he is and why it's so amazing he hasn't gone the way of morgana.

- speaking of which, i love that morgana is so unable to understand michel. years alone with him, and she still can't get her head around his non-penchant for cursing the people who wronged him. give the dude a break, he's not buying!

- really just hoping nothing gets worse sure to door 8 after how optimistic door 7 ended. but i'm not gonna trust this game...
