you ever think about how sissel spends three chapters of the game back to back trying to save two deeply depressed guys with zero self-esteem? how he sees right through jowd's insincere self-pitying apologies; and how he's so promptly over the justice minister's disguised negative self-talk, eventually trying to set him on a better path by telling him to not go so hard on himself?
with hindsight, i'm surprised sissel never comments on it all feeling... familiar.

Love me a villain that is tragic and sympathetic but is also shown to have 70% of their problems be their own damn fault.

Possessing a cat for an undetermined amount of time has had to have had an effect on Yomiel’s psyche. You got Sissel over doing the ‘sits in an armchair like an old man’ thing because of their stint of thinking they’re human, and meanwhile Yomiel is at the kitchen table suppressing the urge to bat his glass of water onto the floor.

also this fucking guy. Imagine having a work bestie who gets falsely accused of murdering his wife and u decide to work ur ass off to find the real culprit bc yall have some kind of manly soulmate bond (gay). turns out he basically wants to die and sees it as his punishment so he hides the crucial evidence from u until he’s fucking EXECUTED??

i think my favorite details in the game come from the ending stuff in regards to sissel
Firstly, the fact that in spite of him saving everyone, he still dies in the end bc when the fragment of temsik gets rerouted, it hits him in the back as a kitten, killing him like it did yomiel
And then the fact with since he's dead with the temsik, he doesn't grow at all over the 10 year jump since he's literally like schrödinger's cat
sissel and yomiel both being schrödinger's cats is such a fun thing. with yomiel it even ties into the Themes — after all, the whole idea behind the thought experiment (iirc) is that you don't know what state the cat is in until it's observed.
yomiel spent ten years not being really "seen" by anyone. and it's only after he's finally "seen" as a person — by lynne first, and then the trio of jowd-missile-sissel — that his fate is changed, and his future/trajectory is resolved. what is he? he's alive.
and the other thing you mentioned is great too. something about how there's no such thing as a perfect life without some hurt, some sacrifice. bad things will happen (and everyone will have different reactions to the bad things that happen to them). but if you have the right people beside you, you can live with it.
