Thank you for being so empathetic to the characters.
You are correct, most paths lead to the player's character being mean. However, being nice isn't always a bad ending.
We told a story of jealousy and obsession, both of which lead to people acting uncivil. While acting responsible is still a valid way to play, talking through those emotions can earn a happier ending.
I'm glad you enjoyed the story. And thank you for your comment.
