so more of the same as before or cranked to 11?
The Ashley event is not bad, honestly... Bittersweet maybe?
You do get a clearer picture of the lurking abyss that is her depression, but you also get something that you could call a happy ending, except it's not a happy ending because it's not an ending: her story is not finished yet.
The Maria event, OTOH, goes from confusing to enraging to confusing again (YMMV), all served with a large helping of soul-crushing sadness - and possibly with some fridge horror for dessert.
