Everything that made the OG game great, comes again and makes it way, WAY better. I think this is the first time I've experienced any media with characters that goes beyond being tridimentional. Featuring the thoughts of many characters rather than just Amber adds a lot of Layers to the characters, and boy, the drama of this short but amazing DLC just makes it better. Even tho some conflicts might be clichéd, the way the story wraps it up makes me think of the characters as actual human beings due to the amount of layers they have. When you think a character is angry due to a reason, it's actually a different reason, and all of them escalate to something heavier and then hits you like a brick to your face to pour the sour reality flat to the ground. Most of the conflicts hits home way more than I wanted to, like Tess being unable to feel emotions, and Amber being unable to read the room. Alongside with the perfect OST, this is a VN that broadened my horizones, it made me angry, sad, happy, it even made me believe in second chances, it made me believe in a change for the better, it made me feel melancholic. Every time I hear to "Eleven", thousands of emotions are going to flood my heart and make me remember, not only the melancholic parts, but the great ones too. That's how good the musical direction is, and how great the character writing is.
