Episode 3 Sneak Peek #1
Added 2022-06-01 17:53:34 +0000 UTCSneak peaks are back! If you haven't finished your Episode 2 playthrough yet, I would steer clear of these as they will include spoilers (for obvious reasons).
This sneak peak is from Scene 1's Veyer branch. For context, this uses flavour text from a high Aeran friendship run (though the romance version uses something very similar).
“Fuck,” you breathe.
You were trying so hard not to think of him. After everything he said last night, there’s a part of you that would be happy never to see his face again. But from the twist in your gut, you know it’s not that easy… no matter how desperately you wish it were.
You press your face into your hands. “Fucking fuck,” you groan.
Footsteps pad across the floor and a warm pressure presses against your skin. When you crack open an eye and peer through your fingers, you find Veyer kneeling before you. They brace their tawny hands braced softly against your knees as they gaze up at you, all sense of mischievousness vanished from their dark eyes.
“It’s not my place to say this, $firstname,” they say gravely. “If you find this in poor taste, I will leave and never broach the topic again. I will treat last night as if nothing happened between us, if that is your preference—”
You lower your hands and let them fall to your sides.
“Friendships with people like Kellis never end well. The hurt of losing a friend is oftentimes more grievous than that of a lover. Either choose to stand with him—for good or ill—or let him go. I know what I would do, but I am not you. I have found myself in such situations more than once. I do no wish for you to do the same.”
You pause, that familiar ugly feeling twisting deeper.
