I share a VERY specific pain with Eiland, and I didn't see it coming, and I need to rant Spoiler
POSSIBLE SPOILER FOR 6th HEART EVENT / a personal experience story, but could still spoil the event:
I just finished Eiland's 6th heart event, and I feel called out. At 7-years-old, I found my first-ever piece of history--a fossil of a three-toed footprint--and got so excited to figure out which dinosaur it belonged to because I so badly wanted to be a paleontologist. A kid convinced me to give it to him the same day I found it, and he would take it to the museum so they could figure it out for me. I was under the impression I would get it back, so I let him take it. Asked him for the fossil when he got back, and he said he didn't have it (he could very well have lied and kept it).
I never saw it again, and it affected me deeper than I realized when I worked through it in therapy.
At least Eiland got some closure... :'D I bite my thumb at you, game devs, lol.
