I played as the Mind and I had no trouble roleplaying it, because I have endured way too many nights of self-battering like this before. Whatever my Person had to say, I could come up with something mean in response to that, but my Person remained calm and reasonable.
I said, "I don't mean to work against you. But what you tell yourself is way too different from what you actually think, feel or believe in." My Person said, "Maybe I was trying too hard to lift you up, but I guess it'd better if I just let you talk and listen."
I suddenly got a bit teary-eyed and said, "Yeah, it'd be."
And our character slowly drifted into sleep like that.
I also wrote a little bit more about my thoughts with this game in my native language. -> My (very short) blog post
This is a really nice game. Thank you for making this.
Thank you so, so much for playing the game and sharing your thoughts. I read the blog post too, and I was in tears by the end of it. I can't begin to express how much your words mean to me. I'll revisit them for a long, long time. Thank you again. <3

Hi rawnm94,
Thank you so, so much for playing the game and sharing your thoughts. I read the blog post too, and I was in tears by the end of it. I can't begin to express how much your words mean to me. I'll revisit them for a long, long time. Thank you again. <3
