Ryuo: *steadily pumps out one of my favorite VNs with a great story and enthralling mystery*
Also Ryuo: "I have no idea what I’m doing"
I always enjoy these deep dives into the meaning of horror, as it's stuff I find quite enlightening but haven't been tried to put into words.
Also, I will continue telling myself that "dangerous" =/= evil to cope. In my mind, I can hold out naive hope for Alex by reasoning that if peaceful isn't harmless, dangerous isn't necessarily evil, merely the capacity for it. So, while Alex's rise to power is likely inevitable, I can still deceive myself that there's a good ending in sight, even as the flames grow closer.
