The theme is implemented in a very selfish way. Sitting by the fire is a way my wife and I bond so collecting sticks to keep the fire going is about connecting with her. Also I could have told people that going near Mrs Games replenishes your health as my way to try and sneak in the connection theme. And Rekindle is another way to say reconnecting. Thank you for playing the game and I hope you enjoyed it, I appreciate your feedback!
