Chapter 2 brought even more heartwarming moments. When Esme's best friend appeared, it felt like something from her childhood was returning to life. Reading through the memories they shared and all the fun they had as kids is so touching. It warms me up and gives me a happy feeling whenever they finally opened up with their real feelings and to always be there for each other. However, I noticed a small error in Esme's text box. It might be an emoji or a symbol that didn't display right, so it's a minor point, but it did stick out a bit. That aside, it didn't detract from the great story. I'm very excited to see where this goes next!
It was nice to be relaxed while playing this game. It was calm, and reading about Esme's memories of her granny made me realize how important those times were to her. I'm excited to see the next chapters when they come out because the story made me wonder what I will find out about herself next!
