So I did end up giving his route a try, and honestly? I still don’t like him 😅 I mean, sure, he isn’t as insufferable as I had initially thought, but the fact he’s possibly lying about who he is makes me like him even less
I’ll still follow his path, but unless his reasons have meaningful validity, I doubt he’ll become someone I’d like
I guess I don't quite get it because they all are lying about who they are, and that's a big part of the story. I think I get it with Nate being the most obvious in not being (for lack of a better term) genuine.
[Spoilers]
Ben-Holds most of his thoughts in even when it's actually destroying his life.
Karina-Doesn't let anyone really get to know her and lashes out to avoid real intimacy.
Chris-Wraps so much of his identity into 'being a mentor' because he doesn't think anyone likes who he really is.
Brian-Uses the sex obsessed muscle head facade to avoid being hurt by a genuine relationship.
Carlos-Closeted for a little over half his route. Refuses help for a myriad of reasons in a myriad of ways.
Zach-Has probably looped this semester enough times to be totally shut out of his own life.
Russell-Claims he refuses to be someone else's punching bag anymore, but still has a martyr complex he hides behind snark and being flippant.
Nate-Takes on the 'gay stereotype' to reject what he was raised to be.
