Dallas + a question

I played Dallas' route and honestly cried. I find it really hard to put into words the roller coaster of emotions I went through.  Every time I thought there would be some improvements in their relationship everything would spiral down again and make my heart feel as if it was wrecked once again ;-;  I think I sympathized a lot with Robin since it was my first time playing as her and everything was so beautifully written 0: It described her fear of being left behind and betrayed so well and those flashback scenes that just torn at me because I saw how happy they could be but I then I remembered they both have so much baggage and went through so many tough battles there was no way it'd every be the same. I realized at the end Dallas must've been feeling the exact same emotions: pain and betrayal as well and their falling out was because of their inability to communicate. Even in the game I wanted to be like no, go talk to each other :V !!!

One part that took me SO long to get and it was only because I backtracked on their scenes in the Memorabilia was when Robin went to the grocery store and bought the items to make strawberry cookie dough???? 0: Because Dallas really really loves strawberry sweets? I found that so damn cute and when it hit me I was like why didn't I see it earlier 0: ! I'm just curious what would have happened if Emmitt didn't get to it in time and Robin actually managed to give it to Dallas? Would he have taken it?

My next route was Beau's and stayed up until 3am trying to complete it and then since I love doing this to myself I'm playing Dallas' route again :')

Something I just wanted to ask, in the first flashback where Dallas breaks off from the band, Robin "bent over in pain". I took it to mean her stomach hurt?? I might be looking too much into this but was this a sign of her miscarriage which I found out about in Beau's route? Did she undergo a lot of stress and thus was that the reason? If it's too much to answer I'd understand!

Thank you for making this amazing game :))

I'll get the tough question out of the way, I do envision Robin's miscarriage to be a product of stress. Robin did not actually get pregnant until after Dallas left Shocker (or shortly before), so Dallas does not know Robin went through any of that.  (I plan on D & R talking about it later, but as of right now, only Beau knows of the ordeal and only by accident.) Sterling's day-to-day abuse, the pain of losing Dallas, feeling isolated and estranged from herself did not foster a healthy Robin, no.

To answer your sweet, light-hearted question: Dallas would have reacted very positively! He was basically waiting for any reason to fall back in love with her, to see that the old her was still there somewhere, and that would have been the gesture to do it. He would still stand by his principals and such, and he would still be her friend for a while before anything more intimate, but it would have meant a lot to him. Sorry I'm cruel.

Thank you for answering both of them! The last one definitely made me smile :)
* P.S. ( D & R )i s really cute it should be official!! owo
