I’m generally surprised there’s basically no angsty stuff for ddv. Like there’s SO much potential, Mickey’s missing wife, memory loss, loneliness, lost hope, guilt, etc! Like ESPECIALLY the mc, they literally abandoned & forgot about their kingdom full of people who are trapped, lost some/a lot of their memories, people being gone (not dead but you can get them back), not to mention the condition the valley itself is in when you get there. The player’s gonna feel a whole lot of guilt for what they did, possibly trying to overwork themselves due to them trying to “make up for it” (they’re already doing enough to make up for it). They do this to the point that everyone’s incredibly concerned for their wellbeing (including the villains!), so when someone finds the ruler passed out the ones who have been there longer would nonchalantly would carry them/find someone to carry them to their house while the newer ones would be very confused as to why they’re so nonchalant about their ruler being passed out (maybe even dead). The last part would hilarious but the rest is just pure angst.
