I just finished my first full run, marrying Lisle, after so many years, and as a queer person in a very unconventional queerplatonic partnership of many years, I want to thank Aly from the bottom of my heart for this route. So many times I wibbled, whimpered, grinned in joy or put a hand to my heart in pure emotion. I love him and the relationship my PC had with him so so much, and feel loved and respected and seen and cared for in return.
I've been emotional about this route since the first time I unlocked it, for years now, and finally seeing it to its conclusion - and such a lovely one - means so much to me.
Thank you for this game, these characters and these stories, Aly!!!!
(And now I'm off to go pick up and finally give its completion to another character and story I came to care for years ago, my adorable sheltered princess and her shockingy delicate romance with Zarad. And then many many more others. I'm so, so, so excited, I waited for this for so long and it's already far exceeded my expectations and hopes!!!)
