Thanks for your reply! I was debating on whether the rest mechanic should be introduced earlier and that really confirms it, so I'll be making that change. That's good feedback about the story / writing too, interesting to read how someone else interprets it. The theme should definitely be more "trauma is an invisible hurt" and the difficulties that causes, but certainly not "others are mean for not seeing it". I wrote this more from a "this is what this feels like" perspective without fully considering it made it unclear to others what they should 'do' with that. That gives me some new things to think about. Ending it in a question for people to ponder over could be very interesting. Thanks for the valuable feedback!
