Curate, connect, and discover
We were forced to relive through his trauma and the games warnings in the begining ARE LITERALLY JUST DAMIEN ROUTE SPOILERS LMAO. Like those warnings do not apply to any other route really.
We still have the four moments shared between the boys
- Party Prep scene
- Kiss scene
- Malix Scene
- Boys sharing their past
So while I’m not gonna make every boys route be about angst- i do wanna add one major unique sequence and theme to each. Ill go more in detail later but for now here it is:
James
The theme of responsibility and your life being chosen for you rather then choosing for yourself, you help eachother break free from your predetermined roles. James gives you the confidence to stand up to your parents, and you help James relax a little, you help him be the kid he never got to be.
You’d go to a library and botanical garden showcase. Your introduced to his interests and bring a flower back home that you both take care of. As you make the right choices it blooms as you make the wrong ones it wilts.
Erik
The theme of putting on a mask and being something you aren’t. You’re the perfect daughter, you have to be. You’re perfect to everyone you meet even your friends. You are never truly yourself. And neither is Erik, you both have never been Given the chance to find your own personalities and interests. So you help eachother do just that, Erik takes you to a masquerade demon ball. You have a night where you find yourselves. You, ironically, put on a mask to shed one. If you make the right choices Erik will ask you to be his model for a masc/femme suit he’s making. If you don’t he asks Mathew.
Sam
The theme of forgiveness. You are very hard on yourself and will cry when you make the smallest mistake. You’re so wracked with guilt you can’t think. Sam sees himself as a monster, he’s made a lot of mistakes, he’s hurt *killed* a lot of people. most out of defense and for his family. People call him a monster for his anger, for defending himself, for his rage, and a mutt for choosing the lowest of low over the nobels and royalties he meets. You both help eachother learn and understand that it’s been nurture vs nature your whole lives. Taught to feel like shit for things outside your control and for doing the right thing. You learn to forgive yourselves. You go on a hike and play in a waterfall, on the way back Sam grabs a rock and cracks it. Turns out to be a beautiful purple geod. If you make the right choices you keep it if you don’t you put it back on the hiking trail when Sam isn’t looking.
Mathew
The themes of growing up to fast for different reasons. Mathew grew up fast for Damien, and to prove to his society that he was more than what people thought. You grew up to fast because you were expected to. Your ideas clash as Mathew idolizes your maturity and that people take you seriously. while you envy that people look him over and expect nothing of him. You go to the arcade and play games you, allowing yourself to be a kid while Mathew joins you. Someone approaches and recognizes you, they judge you for having fun when you have “so much” on your plate and for the first time Mathew sees what you mean. He steps in and tells them to back off doing the most childish thing he could. Sticking his tounge out and making raspberries. You laugh at the interaction and Mathew apologizes for not understanding. You forgive him, saying that you get it in hindsight you understand how being treated like a child *all* the time could get boring. He buys you plush (to make up for Simon) and if you make the right choices it stays in tact. If you don’t Simon destroys it as revenge for Mathew.
Damien
The themes of envy would follow this story, you envy Damien and him brings. Demon, and he envies you and being human. You think the others world seems so much better but truly understand that each has its ups and downs. You think it’s great that women are more powerful there while Damien finds it wonderful how education is accessible for anyone that wants it. Sometimes you say things that offends the other but are able to make the other understand their point of view.
You decide to Damien to one of your collage lectures. He sneaks in as one of your friends that couldn’t come cuz she was sick. (Shapeshifting!) and he’s so happy to be learning anything. Some things confuse him and he dose end up looking dumb to the class. But he dosent care, he’s *learning* this is the best day of his life. Later if you make the right choices you offer to teach him the basics of reading and writing. If you don’t he goes off to learn for himself.
