Hmm my perspectives in the matter probably came from the fact that I do not personally know a female Chris or Sam.

I do know a female Alex and a few pats, but the actions of the ones in the story would have me believe them to be male anyway.

I had an idea that I would be evaluating the characters actions and maybe subconsiously put them on the same levels. I didnt assume anything about their age either other then "adult". Since it was about introspection, maybe I just put them all on my level.

Or maybe I just had dudes on my mind. Hard to say, I did think it strange, but wrote it off as 2017.

For me I saw their behavior as his/her ego being hurt and so they sought to repair their damaged self by through enjoyment of anothers pain. I think that it is fairly common for people to get enjoyment out of others suffering when they themselves are emotionally hurt.

I suppose there have been times when I might feel the same. Though they weren't the same situation and I'm not one to put myself in that situation, so I can't understand her feelings.

At the very least I find it strange that one can flip from "in love" to "enjoying your pain" by simply being rejected.

There is much debate about what is love and how it is different from lust. If there is a difference I think Sam definitely shows characteristics of the latter.

Thanks for having the game, I found it very interesting.
